Go to SolutionReally long delivery times
Is anyone else experiencing really long delivery estimates? I ordered an Aurora R12 on April 6th 2021 and my estimated ship date is June 8th (delivery on June 18th.)
I can understand that there may be some sort of delay because of Covid but almost 2 and a half months, that seems a little excessive. I've been asking for updates as to why after a month I still don't have my machine but all I get is the canned we have asked the concerned team to expedite your order
What specs did you order, the higher end components are in greater demand right now due to the GPU shortages. Some people are buying the PC just for the GPU, and flipping the reminder of the system (sans GPU). I 've seen a lot of this lately.
Ordered supposed in stock model in March to be delivered April.
Order cancelled after no communication. Card charged.
Disputed charge.
Re ordered in april to be delivered 2 days ago.
Order cancelled. Card charged again for system and Expedited Shipping.
Disputed charge.
Ended up buying on EBAY "BUY IT NOW" expected delivery May 15th.
This is why I keep my Amex card because you call them anytime and they will credit you immediately. Never pay cash or go outside of ebay aka they email you to wire your money western union.

I ordered very early April. For my build they ran out of Chassis apparently.. But today, finally. My R12 has shipped - however seeing the shear number of issues with the R12 (Slow Ram, CWT errors, and BSOD's) I'm not sure if I'm happy getting it... I shouldn't have sold my R11.. ugh.

I ordered 3 systems with 3090s and they shipped within 3 weeks.
Can't complain...
Saying the obvious here....Covid-19 delays and the US no longer manufactures much of the technical items we consume ...we are reliant up other countries....There is no sense in villainizing these countries for filling a role we vacated.
....Thus the long wait

There's currently a worldwide shortage of various components due to demand being much higher than supply.
Some car plants even had to stop production due to car chip shortages.
There's nothing much you can do, and it does not look like this situation will improve in the near future.
Hope you get your order soon.
