Waiting for our Syntakts to arrive

Wow so I could just order a second one from Elektron and get it before my first one.

Mine departed NL 14 hours ago. I can’t think of a single flight that is 14 hours long. So it must be on a truck or a train? God knows where to now.

I just paid the fedex custom charges, it was $75 (basically GST plus a $10 fee).

So ams to Paris is a 4 hour drive. Has yours arrived anywhere yet?

My UK Thomann order came yesterday, but I have thus far resisted opening it… The DN arrived a few days before and there’s already too much to explore!

No, which either means my theory is wrong, they didn’t head to Paris until later, or maybe they’re just going tomorrow for Monday delivery. Guess we’ll see!

Are you in Canada or US?

That’s not bad actually, I’m in Quebec so I bet I’ll have to pay more.

Haha that’s probably true. I was surprised there wasn’t a $50 fee tacked on for fun, so that’s good. Now they just need to get the shipment out of Memphis.

Looks like the Paris flight is at 2am. So maybe we get lucky and it ends up on that flight. That’s about 3 hours from now

Where’s that teenager that tracks billionaire’s planes?

I ordered from Sweetwater early on launch day and it should arrive tomorrow (Sunday) but I’m hoping it arrives Monday because the family won’t be home and the kids won’t eat my candy.

This is great, my kids know the box and usually steal it before I get the gear out

I’m getting worried. Ordered mine day one from Elektron and it’s still sitting in Koeln. I’m losing hope, it’s been there for 4 days.

I placed two orders within minutes of each other: One for a Syntakt and the other, kind of as an afterthought, for a bag (to hold the Syntakt and my Analog Heat) and a plastic cover. I didn’t know if the latter two items would be in stock, and if one of them wasn’t, didn’t want that to hold up my Syntakt order.

The Syntakt was shipped first, then the other one. That order was shipped on April 26 and went from Landvetter (Sweden) to Kastrup (Denmark) on April 27, to Köln on April 28, to Indianapolis on April 30, and is scheduled for delivery on Monday, May 2.

The Syntakt itself? Landvetter on April 25, Kastrup on April 26, Köln on April 28 (the same day as the other order), then Oude Meer on April 30, where it is still sitting. Cited as “on time” but no delivery date estimated.

I am starting to get worried about the shipment… it makes no sense what is happening… it almost seems like it’s lost in the FEDEX system… I do a bunch of international shipping for work and this makes no sense at all…

Not to mention the longer in transit time the more time for it to be damaged in transit…

I don’t mean to put this on Elektron but at this point I am hoping for more than just a opps post on this board… I mean what is the point of getting it shipped the day of release when at this point it will take over two weeks to get to me… and I am not the only one. Free t-shirt maybe???

mines getting closer to 2 weeks now too. its gone backwards, stuck in some ups warehouse in Dublin saying they need address info even tho they have address info. sadly i have no authority to request to collect it myself. don’t have the correct code.
Bank Holiday here tomorrow, hopefully they get it together soon. 🥲

Looks like no one in Memphis is working on the weekend, that doesn’t bode well for tuesday delivery.
