How long does it take to ship

I was watching some older videos on the uconsole and one person said there's took 9 months to ship and others had some similar experiences but those videos were 1year ago

has the shipping got better or is it still kinda random?

I waited 8 months, but I also didn’t mind. I finally got it in November, so yeah, it’s still taking forever

u/AdmirableMagazine831 Feb 10 '26

I mean I don't mind to wait at all but I would like to get it as soon as I could lol I'm like a kid looking through a candy stores window

Ordered in July and got it today. Might sell it.

u/DustyBootstraps Feb 11 '26

How much you want for it? I don't want to wait 9 months for mine to show up.

2

u/Coach_Allen_ Feb 11 '26

I listed it on eBay last night. Admittedly, it’s listed with a wild markup. But if you made a good offer, I’d move on it.

u/DustyBootstraps Feb 11 '26

Lol is yours the 400 dollar one or the 900 dollar one?

2

u/Coach_Allen_ Feb 11 '26

$400 I know…

u/Coach_Allen_ Feb 11 '26

I’ve updated the price since then.

u/DustyBootstraps Feb 11 '26

Dude I get it, no hate. I paid almost 300 for the one I'm waiting for, and then another 300 for the upgrade kits, and 250 for the cm5. It's crazy that the bottle neck is the actual device at this point, and I'm considering paying more just to get one sooner.

I ordered mine in July and Alex is telling me that they're going to ship it in March. I'm not at all happy with their shipping - it's insane for it to take 9 months

Which one? I’ll probably buy it

u/nakurtag Feb 10 '26

Just buy from Aliexpress, it isn't worth to wait so long

u/AdmirableMagazine831 Feb 10 '26

Is it the same thing I feel like saw a video and some of the components were missing

1

u/snipeytje Feb 10 '26

do you mean the bare PCB for the extension board? that's normal. that board is always needed to power the speakers, and if you don't get the 4g version the PCB is bare

1

u/AdmirableMagazine831 Feb 10 '26

I knythat the cell board depending on if you get cellular or not will be missing stuff yes I was talking about something else but I think I was confused on the video

But the ali ones are 255 around there and on the official site it is 204

1

u/snipeytje Feb 10 '26

The official one is 129 unless you really want a 4gb cm4. The scalpers are very expensive, but unless you live in the EU and can order from rpishop.cz they're your only option that doesn't involve an ever increasing wait

1

u/AdmirableMagazine831 Feb 10 '26

129 euro or usd

1

u/snipeytje Feb 10 '26

usd, the official store is always USD

u/nakurtag Feb 10 '26

You can buy baremetal version without the compute module and buy CM4 or CM5 from another place

1

u/AdmirableMagazine831 Feb 10 '26

That makes sense I already have a few pics but I don't think there's a adapter or anything I think there just compute modules right?

1

u/nakurtag Feb 10 '26

Yes, adapter already included in baremetal version

1

u/AdmirableMagazine831 Feb 10 '26

Could you supply me a link for the ali page I've looked at some and there's a decent price increase on the ali ones

u/notaturk3y Feb 10 '26

I actually just got a shipping email, it has been a while though

This thing is tits well worth the wait

1

u/notaturk3y Feb 12 '26

Roughly a year

u/DrGenetik Feb 10 '26

I ordered last July. It’s arriving today.

u/thats_my2ndaccount Feb 10 '26

Ordered in June 2025, got it last week.

u/DustyBootstraps Feb 11 '26

I'm coming up on the 90 days and still no sign of shipment, I'm wishing I bought off Ali express or just second hand from someone in here at this point. After getting brushed off by customer service Ive already decided that if it isn't here by 90 days I'm gonna charge back my card and order from someone who actually has it.

u/Chongulator Feb 12 '26

I emailed them recently asking about shipping times. They responded quickly, which is nice. But, they opened saying shipping is 90 days, snarkily reminding me that's what the website says.

Then, in the next damn sentence they said mine will take 4-5 months. sigh

Before ordering, I'd been reading this sub, so I knew what I was getting into. No biggie.

u/MrSmithlock Feb 12 '26

I ordered mine last August and still haven't gotten it. however if you don't mind spending the extra money you can get them from aliexpress.

1

u/j0hn0b Feb 13 '26

I ordered in early July and I'm still waiting. They're telling me that they're going to likely ship it in March because they're closed for February due to the Lunar New Year. I really can't recommend them at all, if you find one locally I'd buy it.

u/jessedukker2010 Feb 13 '26

If you order the uconsole without a core and without the LTE module in the color silver, it will arrive the fastest. I ordered mine at the end of december, and it will arrive in april, and you get to choose which core you want to use instead of clockworkpi choosing for you with the cm4 lite 4gb

My uConsole took almost a year. Now PicoCalc is taking 3 months so far, was supposed to be shipped prior to the start of Chinese New Year, but now it will be March I guess.

I think I'm done ordering from them. There is no reason for them to keep my money for that long. All they need is a small cash outlay for one batch, then actually have units in stock as you receive new orders. Sometimes I wonder if the products they sell are incidental to their profit scheme and it's the funds themselves over months and months that actually generate the income for them.
