R2 ship backlog

my work just ordered an T2 last Wednesday. Any idea about the shipment backlog?

 

I saw on Twitter that there were a few hundred R2s ordered when it was kickstarter. I bet it takes them a couple of weeks to get all of those out. And then you have to wait for your place in line for the pre-orders.

 

Definitely not, mine is not on the way yet (backer #495). Someone got #1 a couple of days ago and they said it would take them about 2 weeks to ship all the KS out.

 

Hah Well that's some hope it goes a bit faster than 1 per day

Hard to say where in the queue we are since backer numbers are common for both C2 and R2...

Can't wait especially after seeing people's first prints, will hurt not to be able to use it for the job I have to deliver next week. Not feeling like using the old turd again... but it proves it was a good idea to keep it until the R2 was really in my hands and tested.

 

Nah it will have to go, I already barely can walk in the room anymore... I recently added a 4030 CNC to the lot, and things are getting tight... I'll already pretty much have to put the R2 on it, and move it away when I need the CNC

 

I think they stated they airshipped all the kick starter units, so that would mean any pre-orders would be coming trans-pacific? Which I am just guestimating here (takes about a month for the ship to transit) if they get enough stock in the first shipment for all the pre-orders then it would probably be another couple of weeks for those shipments to start.

 

They forgot to ship mine as I had talked to them about cancelling my order but never did. So they cancelled my place for shipping somewhere on their end, had I not called I would have been waiting for a really long time... Since I was backer #49 I was starting to wonder why numbers all over the place where posting pictures and such. LOL Glad I called to ask.

 

Did anyone with an international order get anything yet?
I got a notification yesterday of a DHL parcel from China sent by a "Honfujin Electronica" scheduled for delivery on Monday, and I don't think I expect anything else than the R2 at this point in time... No info from Robo.

Hoping it's it.

 

I'm in the UK, and I just got the same notice yesterday! If you open up the link in the message, you'll see the "Receiver" is Robo 3D Inc.

I'll be getting mine on Monday, according to the estimate. Fingers crossed it arrives in good condition!

 

Oh yes, the text message link shows that indeed, it's a bit hidden though! Was looking at the normal tracking page and that had no info.
Awesome!

 

Was supposed to arrive on Monday but it somehow got stuck for 2 days in Germany

Should finally be there tomorrow.
It might be a good thing since I was very busy these 2 days and would have had a hard time refraining myself from playing with it, but still dying with anticipation...

 

Mine arrived today!

Still putting it together, but the door was scratched on the inside, like many people have complained. There's also a part from the hotend/extruder that seems to have come loose (attached below). Still trying to figure out how to correctly put it in place.
