Any concrete info on shipping to retailers?

Acidfever · 2014-07-04T20:42:40.000Z

Looks like Elektron is shipping per region. None of the retailers in in the Netherlands had been receiving units for weeks while a lot of US/Canada users were reporting that their units were delivered. Now the retailers over here obviously received shipment and US retailers aren’t receiving any.

Definitely seems like Elektron ships per region.

[quote=“zonta”][quote=" vinja"]Ordered mine 53 days ago.

…and I’m still only #5 in line @ JRR.

I’m glad I canceled my order from JRR or I would have still been waiting after they messed up my order #. There are other places that have them in stock. Anyways, good luck man. I would say have patience but you already passed that test.[/quote]
You should have stuck it out with JRR. They only get them as fast as elektron will supply them. I was 16th in line and I got mine two days ago and its awesome! Also JRR is always the cheapest price you will find.[/quote]
I was able to get it long before. JRR would have shipped. I bought it from pro audio star for $1380 or so total.

Wow!

I am shocked all preorders have not been filled by now.

vinja · 2014-07-15T20:44:41.000Z

Payment processed 74 days ago and still waiting.

JRR hasn’t received a shipment in three weeks.

barto · 2014-07-15T23:45:33.000Z

yep. i pre-oredered 4 weeks ago with an estimate of about 2 weeks at the time. i looked again at control voltages site and its saying august now

DR_Strangeknob · 2014-07-16T02:21:03.000Z

I’m in the same boat. Ordered mine first week in June. I’m not in a hurry. Its like second Christmas.

Waiting already for 1 month at Bax-shop.nl, getting several mixed status updates on when it will actually be delivered. The latest status is that it will arive somewhere next week…

Bax delivered mine 2 weeks ago…ordered May 24th. They are receiving units on a regular basis but apparently not always the amount that Elektron promised.
I seems like Elektron is shipping in regions and when I ordered the US was receiving several shipments. When I received mine it was obvious that the europe region was up again since several shops in Holland were delivering units to customers.

It was a hard wait for me as well (although others have obviously been waiting a lot longer) but it is well worth it, you’ll see.

papawise · 2014-07-21T15:47:05.000Z

Mine also was ordered from GuitarCenter Miami 30 days ago, and the ETA is for around August 10.

I will become nuts.
I’m in a hurry because I have an order waiting to be sent by ship from Miami and is delayed only for this product.

really, it sucks.

panelist · 2014-07-21T15:56:32.000Z

Why not order direct from Elektron? Is saving $50 (or whatever) really worth the indeterminate wait?

I ordered direct last Tuesday and got it 3 days later.

Vandamme · 2014-07-21T16:40:40.000Z

Got mine on Friday, 2 days after my post here (like they are reading it)

@Acidfever: you were right the waiting was worth it!

papawise · 2014-07-21T16:41:13.000Z

really?
I need to send it to Miami, FL,
do you think it will take 3 days?

I’m in Chicago, so I don’t see why not.
But that’s just for shipping.
It’s still subject to their availability and if they have any finished units ready to go out right away. I may have just been lucky.

papawise · 2014-07-21T17:23:50.000Z

I will try,
thanks for the info.

I’m very upset with all the logistics and bad info about retailers and Elektron not being precise and communicative.

panelist · 2014-07-21T18:32:30.000Z

Not that I don’t appreciate or empathize with people’s frustration in waiting, but if you pre-order something that doesn’t have a firm date attached to it, you’re opening yourself to the frustration of waiting indefinitely. This is the problem when people project their expectations as realities.

papawise · 2014-07-22T04:59:14.000Z

@panelist in that case you’re wrong because I did get an affirmative answer by GC thru my commercial partner in Miami, FL that they would deliver it within a week after receive the payment, so, my anger is fundamented.

vinja · 2014-07-22T20:11:56.000Z

Just talked to JRR. They haven’t heard from Elektron in a few weeks.

It’s been 81 days since my order was placed.

Get your money back. There are like 10,000 other places to get one, right?

papawise · 2014-07-23T01:51:59.000Z

ok finally I canceled my order with Guitar Center Miami and I’ve ordered a unit from Elektron (number: 86804*

let’s see what happen… eager

NRain · 2014-07-23T02:54:00.000Z
