minus-squaretyphoon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·10 days agoJust to try to understand how bad this is, I reserved mine on May 8 at 18:48:30 +0000 (UTC) no email so far. Did someone that reserved received an email? If yes, when did you reserve and when did you receive the email to order your controller?
minus-squareRepleteLocum@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 days agoReserved it on the day it restocked. I don’t think I got an email after reserving it, but I got one for it being available to buy on the 5.6.
minus-squareEveningPancakes@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agoI set an alarm on May 8th the moment they opened reservations. Got an email on June 11th asking for me to confirm my purchase details and submit an order. Submitted that day and then received the controller on June 17th.
minus-squarehardcoreufo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoIf you check the reserve link it says it expects I’ll be able to buy one in September.
minus-squaretyphoon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 days agoSame here, I’m surprised that some that ordered at the same day that I did are already with their devices. Have you ordered yours on May 8th as well?
minus-squareteuto@lemmy.teuto.iculinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoI believe they’re doing separate queues per country, so that matters too
minus-squaretyphoon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoThat is a good point. For privacy reason I don’t recommend anyone to share where they are located but yeah that is something to factor.
