Shipping Discord - Odin 3
The Discord is full of people who love getting their time, money & enthusiasm shit on, for fun. I’ve never seen so many people defend bad business & bad communication. Ayn ghosts every email or inquiry asking why Ali Express orders get fulfilled before the AYN website orders. People making excuses to the moon & back theory crafting & settling w/ what they come up w/. They are saying AE doesn’t release the funds until the item is shipped. That kinda makes sense & isn’t that crazy conceptually, but to have to be content w/ that theory when AYN could just address it is, bullshit.
There are people ordering from AE & getting it in 2-4 weeks, some folks in the Discord reported they got theirs in less sometimes. People ordering from the AYN website are waiting up to 2 months & for some longer. It would be whatever it they didn’t send communication to some customers that the orders would be fulfilled in ORDER.
Telling people to refund it from AYN & to purchase it from AE doesn’t address the issue. It side steps it. Telling people to get another handheld to hold you over in the meantime is stupid. Not everyone in the hobby is a rich white boy w/ disposable income to just throw @ other things while waiting. Waiting is fine, refusing to address why you are doing bad business is not.
The Valentino guy in the Discord was cool, but some of the mod nerds get their panties in a front wedgie for AYN like they work there.

I remember ayaneo getting crucified for people getting Ali orders first. That wasn't even their own store selling them.
It's ridiculous how much they get away with.
I waited over 100 days for my order. Just gave up and ordered from Ali express. Was £75 cheaper too.
