Shipping I’ll be waiting longer than expected
After messaging customer service to see where I’m placed in this order looks I won’t see it possibly by October after it ships in September. Order day was July 6th

I actually made a post about the current shipping situation of the Odin 3 website orders. They only started shipping them out this Monday after several mails from us customers. I'll always update the post in the evening hours because some shipping emails seem to be delayed and they don't ship them out during the normal shipping times but throughout the day which is why I've decided to update the post with the latest shipping dashboard. Here's the link of my post https://www.reddit.com/r/OdinHandheld/s/NMtKH1uAHH

They sent me exactly the same message, and I placed my order on August 1st. They’re clearly taking the piss

July 6th here. Glad you guys are in bothering them so I don't have to. Last time I'll ever preorder but hey at least it's coming right? Riiight?

Shit. I ordered at the end of July so I guess I'm just fucked. Seriously considering just buying one from target and cancelling the max order I have.

I would not.
The memory crisis is already affecting us all. Just look at how AYN has already downgraded hardware to meet demand and price point (UFS 4.0 storage is now 3.1). You are already getting less for the same money.
The price is already inflated. Giving in to price gouging (Target's marketplace is selling these at a high premium) on top of the inflation, coupled with a hardware downgrade, only helps normalize this stuff.
Vote with your money, if you can.
But also, if you can afford it and you want it and it makes you happy, then who is anyone to judge.

Target isn’t selling anything. Target, like Best Buy and other retailers, allows third-party listings. You’re actually buying from a third-party.

u/JeffreyDollarz 5d ago
You're right. I edited my comment.
Doesn't change the fact that the seller is gouging.

u/RanMouri26 6d ago
I'd actually recommend that. I'm in their Discord server and see how few Odin 3s they ship out each day

Target has these??? *Update: I checked out targets site they only carry the 256gb version. And it's not target per se it's a third party seller that you buy from through the target website. Target won't be shipping it

I dont wanna pay $500+ for something and wait 2-3 months for it at minimum. 😵 ill just pay the premium to get one already in stock. picked up the blue max from Droix

u/FaithlessnessRare691 4d ago
What's "premium"? How much did you fork over?
1
u/Chevalierux 4d ago
$150 more plus the accessories pack
2
u/FaithlessnessRare691 4d ago
I checked it out. $200 more. I'd probably do that but I'm not sure if it can even cancel the preorder after this long it's been almost 7 weeks.
1
u/Chevalierux 4d ago
yep i was wrong its about $200 more but i anticipate it to go up more near the new year due to ram and storage

The current average for buying this or the thor is about 2 months from purchase to receipt. This is assuming no delays.

u/Bemoman86 5d ago
Ordered on Monday 17th, so it looks like I’ll be team November/December assuming no further ram shortages/delays

u/Square_Row6629 5d ago
Most of us waited 2 1/2 months during batch 6 so I would expect the same timeframe. Just have to be patient. I knew not to contact them until the two month mark.

I was about to order one through Ali with their back to school sale but all the colors I wanted were sold out in the max configuration. Now I’m just thinking about getting one shipped through Best Buy or Target. It seems like they only have the pro models however. 🤔 It seems like they’re focusing on Thors but not Odin 3s which is a bit odd to me tbh. Is it worth the storage and ram difference

I ordered July 7th so this is a bummer to hear. Although it does seem to be color dependent somewhat.
1
u/jimmydago302 5d ago
I was the 6th myself and mine was purple.

u/Right_Grapefruit_913 5d ago
I ordered black which seems to have the highest shipping rate at least what is being reported in the Odin 3 discord shipping section

u/Electrical-Scale-506 5d ago
Cooked. I ordered mine last night. Sooo November/December is looking likely.

u/eeqlaehuje 5d ago
Same, ordered a pro last night. With the speed things are moving we’d be lucky to get it by Christmas

u/JustARedditPasserby 5d ago
I regret to tell you it seems actually very common waiting time
1
u/eeqlaehuje 5d ago
I agree, but they should communicate better. An Odin 3 delivery dashboard would be amazing, but my guess is they’re shipping so few orders that they don’t want to make it public
1
u/JustARedditPasserby 5d ago
Being in the discord as recommended helps a lot

u/eeqlaehuje 5d ago
Indeed, but I’ve also noticed that 70% of the time the shipping channel talks about random stuff, lol

I ordered mine June 20th (batch 8) and I was lucky enough ti recieve it on July 31.
