Just arrived in NZ
Excellent!!
How goes the slow boat to the US? Or, did they not give you the name of the ship this time? Just trying to guess when the kits might start getting transferred to the ground shippers.
They keep not telling us the name
When we were moving our own container we knew, but now we just have a couple pallets in someone else’s container so I think we’re a lot of levels of abstraction away from the actual ship. I just need to get each person in the chain to ask the next one, I’ll keep trying!
I got mine earlier this week…won’t have time to do the upgrade for a while—I’m starting a time-constrained project, so no time to tinker—but maybe in March.
I will just wait until you say that you got yours. Then, mine should be a couple of days away from that. the trucks can’t make it here any faster than to you.

they could, it’s separate shipments from China to each person, not a big
shipment to Bar that they then send out individually.

Mine was shipped on 17th, arrived 29th. FedEx Express
Mine arrived the day after I read the update … Jan 24 maybe? In Canada, it arrived via air. It was sent to my son and I hadn’t even warned him it was coming. Standard UPS COD stuff - $7 for duty and $30 for their ‘business oriented’ system (I think $30 for brokerage is their minimum) to determine and collect the $7. Not sure how it arrive so fast though. Usually UPS is delayed by a week or two when they have to figure out duty.
I won’t have time to get it installed this week. Maybe next week?
Interested to see how well it goes for others
Is there anyway of checking shipping to UK or is it a matter when its here its here?
Also has anyone else from UK received theirs and were you charged import
Mine arrived in the UK last week. Unfortunately the PCB has taken a knock at some point. One of the heat sinks is knocked off and a bit bent, also C13 has ripped off.
What do you think? Should I attempt to fix it or better getting a replacement. There’s not much left on the legs of the cap.
Mine arrived with FedEx, I didn’t get charged extra. The declared value on the pack is only 37 USD
Oh no! I just sent a message asking the factory what we can do to make sure that those are packed with more protection going forwards, thanks for the feedback!
If you want to give fixing it a try you can (or you can actually use it without that capacitor and it will probably be fine), but I am also going to DM you a code for a free replacement. Let’s get that in the mail so you have it
Thanks! Yeah it was only in 1 layer of bubble wrap. Though the box is so tightly packed there isn’t loads of space.
Was your box damaged at all or only the board inside the box?
Box was fine. There was nothing to make me suspect it was damaged till I noticed the bits loose in the bag. So actually potentially damaged prior to being packed in the box. Hopefully it’s just a one off.
Thanks for infomation, I will just have to be patient then
