Yes they were shipped in by air and sent into Amazon nearly a month ago. We are hearing whispers that the stock is being now at last loaded into become ready to sell... but we are holding our breath so I don't want to jinx it by saying anything too positive. But... I think there is some change in status coming.
So where are they ?
Been checking every hour on the hour from approx. 11am EST to 6pm thru out the week for the last four weeks. Week number five starts tomorrow.My guess is three or four places like this across the country. I've not been checking very often or even forget most days, so I would bet it is very close now.

This is the way.Been checking every hour on the hour from approx. 11am EST to 6pm thru out the week for the last four weeks. Week number five starts tomorrow.
I live the US and ordered one from Germany and got it with no issues.Probably no more than a few dozen. If you remember US buyers were only able to order out of the first 200 to go up for sale on Amazon UK so they had to compete with the rest of the world to get one.
The problem with the registrations is they have issues . As soon as the sale goes live anyone watching Amazon can get a Tricorder without needing an invite .It seems like a lot of people are winding themselves up over this.
They'll be ready when they are ready.
If you've signed up with your registration of interest you will get an invitation to buy.
Harassing Chris and the Team constantly won't get them to you any quicker. If anything it's probably distracting them from doing their job.
Nobody has had to pay a pre-order deposit, so you don't have money at stake here as you would with other companies.
That happened on the first round of sales as they were still perfecting the store front. As I understand it, TWC have corrected that mistake, although I could be wrong.on that detail.The problem with the registrations is they have issues .

Don't see how they can correct it. When the Tricorders go up anyone watching Amazon will see them. There is no way Amazon can block people from seeing them . Their initial mistake was that it got posted live before they wanted it to go.That happened on the first round of sales as they were still perfecting the store front.

I'm sure TWC have learned from that and will email out invitations to buy in advance to those who expressed interest when the stock goes up on Amazon USA.Don't see how they can correct it.

Not sure how that would work. In order to buy in advance the items would have to be visible on Amazon in order to purchase.I'm sure TWC have learned from that and will email out invitations to buy in advance to those who expressed interest when the stock goes up on Amazon USA.
Not sure if this will still apply or if it will reassure anyone but when I received my invitation to purchase the link took me to an amazon page that later expired after my purchase was complete and when I searched Amazon it wasn't on there at all. Later it appeared to purchase for anyone, so it seems they did prioritise those who registered an interest.Don't see how they can correct it.
