How much will CoronaVirus affect the Manufacturing and shipping of the 8KX units

More this :slight_smile:

Wouldn’t help much without the accompaning desinfection and clean room. Better not play around with such material if it can be avoided.

Yeah, I’m thinking as a mid November preorder I’m likely to get my 8KX in June, and the Mas some time in July.

Agreed, the dates of April and May respectively are optimistic and best case as mentioned. June and July seems perfectly possible. Hopefully not later than that, but we’ll see…

Where is written ā€œBest caseā€ ?

As in, my opinion in my first post considered the best case of April / May for 8KX / MAS, based on the statement. But I won’t be surprised at all if both are delayed by a month each for most people

The timeframe we get is always the most optimistic, best case + luck and not a single bump in the road, wind in the back and downhill all the way. We have learned this over the last few years… we remain hopeful, but slightly less naive and gullible.

I, as everyone else, hope for a fresh 8KX in April. But I realise that it’s very very improbable to get it even in May.

I’ve pretty much written off any chance of getting anything before September.

I pray to sweet Jeezebub that it won’t be later than that… but remain hopeful that I get it before the summer.

I have never agreed to every single word in a post as much as this one.

With the 8k-X their goal is a small batch in March, mass production and delivery in April.
The situation is difficult though and we’ll see whats going to happen.

By now China looks to be stabilising… too bad the western countries didn’t learn from how it was handled. Now it’s our turn to shutdown. (Italy is already closed, France and Spain should follow any day now. Hopefully the rest as well, before it gets as bad)
Pretty soon we’ll see parcels shipping from China, but noone being able to recieve them. Pretty ironic.

I wish us all the best of luck :cold_sweat:

Actually China has not stabilize it, they just stopped worrying and reporting about it. Is just as bad as a month ago.

Have a replacement cable for my 5k+ on the way. Don’t know if it is still in China or somewhere en route. Absolutely no information.

What do you mean? The canadian custom is holding your package for over a month by now due to the corona virus even if they all told us that virus dont live on object and travellers are getting back in our country without any questions by the customs ?

Can’t say why they are holding a piece of plastic since Feb1. Will say that when I asked a CBSA agent about it, all his response was when i indicated it was from China was ā€œI don’t have specific information but i can’t say I’m surprisedā€.

Update:
I will add that the parcel was released today and is expected to arrive today.
