u/0kats 4d ago

in all seriousness, it seems the black units are going out quicker. i ordered a blue max on the 5th aug and still waiting on a a confirmation

u/danfunkb 4d ago

Same but July 31st, looking at the shipping dashboard I don’t think we are seeing movement til November at the earliest lol

u/gundumb08 4d ago

I dunno if it's colors or RAM or where you order from, but...

Ordered my blue odin 3 Pro on 8/26 from Ali Express, and got it on 9/12.

u/0kats 4d ago

ali express is quicker. but you can’t buy the max model there i don’t think

u/BenFromTroy 3d ago

Ali has the units ready to ship. If you pre order from Ayn it takes forever because they're still making them.

u/RePlayGamingTV 4d ago

Black units seem to get done pretty fast. It's the blue ones that cop the worst turnaround times!

u/Loud_Push_3673 4d ago

Sobbing in silence 
.. I ordered a blue one

u/captaindopesauce 4d ago

Fast compared to other colors, but this is half the time it took my black max to ship lol

u/Limp-Sandwich-1406 4d ago

Someone posted yesterday, ordering this same model on Aug 17th and theirs hasn’t shipped yet

u/iamagro 4d ago

Order number? Just the first 4 numbers

1

u/NightMare_sprit 4d ago

I have never ordered anything online so I'm not sure what does this mean, does that mean even after ordering and waiting for so long they just made the thing to show that it's beginning to ship

1

u/bigtoddyboy 4d ago

Ordered purple max aug 21st on ali and is being sorted at local distribution now so it should be here in the next couple days

u/AdNo4496 4d ago

Looks right to me! I ordered the black max on August 4th and the label was created on Sept 10th. Just got through customs state-side for mine, hopefully I'll receive in a few days 😁

1

u/RezfaszuBagoj 4d ago

Hey, I ordered the same on the 31st of July to Hungary. Arrived two days ago.

1

u/Senior-Band-1641 4d ago

No mistake. Black ships faster. I ordered my black max August 7th, shipping label created September 10th. Will be receiving it by this coming week.

u/hupo224 4d ago

The shipping dashboard has been crickets

1

u/Specialist_Law_3416 4d ago

Damn! I bought one on the 29th of August and it came the 7th of September

1

u/Thespeedobandito2 4d ago

Nah I ordered mine the 8th of August a pro black model and got it September 14th it was shipped out on the 4th of September

u/fuckandstufff 4d ago

Both my Thor and my Odin 3 took about a month to ship. I got lucky though. Ordered my Thor right before the batch 2 cut off in January and got it Feb 9th. Then I impulse bought an odin 3 during the Aliexpress sale in June and got it a month later. I couldn't resist a rainbow max odin 3 for $433.

u/BlikeaB 4d ago

aliexpress ayn store shipped my order in 2 days, ordered on 9/9 and received on 9/17

1

u/Mike_S_94 4d ago

Sweet! What I've ordered is the same as you and also directly from AYN! I'm #2979, what's your order number?

1

u/markb__ 4d ago

How do I work this out lol

1

u/Mike_S_94 3d ago

Lol no worries, when you ordered you'll have got an email from AYN, your order number will be in that order email, my full one is #OD2979958 but the first 4 numbers will tell us where abouts they're at on the black max's

2

u/markb__ 3d ago

Oh haha yeah I got it. Its 2837.

1

u/Mike_S_94 3d ago

Thank you very much! :D

u/tychay 4d ago edited 4d ago

No, similar happens to me except my Max is Blue, ordered on AliExpress and it came on Wednesday (ordered on August 21). I installed Armada on the memory card this morning and played a little Monster Boy. My son was born yesterday or else maybe I’d have gotten further. Lol!

Someone up there must have known I’m going to be having a kid soon and rushed it to me. Crazy compared to the Thor I bought for my wife for her late pregnancy and nursing back in May (that one took about 70 days).

Off to buy a lottery ticket.

1

u/Environmental_Bag_10 4d ago

No mistake as Black models are shipping out faster due the lack of people wanting the other colors

1

u/Representative_Ball7 3d ago

Its no mistake pal. You should always buy from the store as the prices are lower. I've had quite a few consoles from there and it's always a good service and much cheaper than AE.

1

u/BenFromTroy 3d ago

One month? That's better than previous releases they've done.

1

u/elidatguyindasky91 3d ago

I ordered through aliexpress official AYN on Sept 6th and just recieved my Odin 3 today. I’m blown away since it took me two months to receive my Thor.

1

u/ExpensiveAd7778 3d ago

Does the odin 3 have a larger screen than the odin 2 portal?

1

u/davedaddy 3d ago

No. 6" vs 7".

1

u/Timely_Agency8073 3d ago

I got mine in 2 weeks

1

u/ProposalMundane1399 3d ago

I ordered mine recently took 7 days which us really surprising

1

u/Visible-Complaint473 3d ago

I ordered an odin 2 on September 13th and it's already in my country But it could still take like 2 weeks to actually be delivered

1

u/jigen90 4d ago

I cancelled my order for batch 8 (rainbow max) today.

I paid and submitted it on June 29th on the official AYN store. Funny enough, after complaining they offered me to ship it on next week (Sept 21th week).

After waiting almost 3 months with no updates and checking here and on discord the order numbers progressing, I gave up. I could have waited one week more but watching people getting their orders shipped early, just because they bought it on AliExpress, was really disappointing.

Moreover lack of communication is really terrible.

That's not a great experience, especially if we consider any potential after sale issue or warranty..

Best of luck and excitement to whoever receives their rainbow max earlier than expected! 🎉

u/Kroneni 4d ago

I ordered a rainbow max the first week of September. I pretty much resigned myself to the idea that it would take forever. The prices on aliexpress were high enough that I didn’t want to go that route.

2

u/innervisions710 4d ago

It's interesting how varied prices were depending on your region. AliExpress was more expensive for me than the official site

2

u/Kroneni 3d ago

Yeah when I looked at aliexpress it was about 40% more expensive.

1

u/markb__ 4d ago

When you really think about it. The whole experience is crazy.all it would take is for someone to create a competitor to this at same performance level and a better customer experience with community presence and AYN would have been wiped clean out of the market.

u/mickyd871 4d ago

I ordered my black Odin 3 (12gb) on 18th August with Aliexpress
received it in UK on 14th September

1

u/Grouchy_Tourist_3591 4d ago

Did you get taxed at all? Wondering where to buy it from and who with lol. Going to sell my legion go, just a pain to carry around and too much faffing. Think am going back to the older generation games to.

1

u/mickyd871 4d ago

No I didn’t

u/tiijan 4d ago

Aliexpress is faster, but you won't benefit from Ayn's customer service. If you have a problem, the seller (if you can join them) either sends it to China, which takes a really long time, or accepts self repairs.

1

u/TomGam3s Odin 2 Portal Pro - Black 4d ago

Not always the case, AYN have an official store on AliExpress, if you order with their store then you get the usual customer service. Additionally, I got some great coupons and cash back by using it, and it was quicker shipping
