@PimaxUSA @PimaxQuorra if shipping is from Shanghai, how do pimax plan to ship the units when no deliveries are possible just like all the other items stuck in Shanghai airport?

If Kevin (Pimax USA) can kindly now reveal how many 8K-X headsets in these first 2 batches we wonât need to constantly pressure anyone from Pimax about it like a record on repeat.
Knowing itâs perhaps 20 units and not 100 in batch 1, for example, makes those later on in the queue of 400 8K-X backer headsets and even more so backer upgraders, far less demanding for information if they know itâs realistically months away until they potentially receive their own headset.
In my view, perhaps waiting to inform forum users in 1-2 weeks is potentially counter productive and might only spoil the next âPimax Dayâ, thatâs meant to be a positive occasion and not meant to be marred by inevitable grumpy backers obssessed only X number of headsets shipped by date Y
I think by now, weâre all rather predictable.

Jokes aside, I do feel the number shipped in these first couple batches is likely an incredibly small number. I donât think Pimax wants us to start sharpening those pitchforks just yet.

I suspect the no. in a batch is like 10-15 and they donât want to tell us until Pimax Day.

Yeah, thatâs what I think is a more realistic number.
To be fair to Pimax they need to receive the 5K+/8K generously loaned headsets back before sending out an 8K-X to those who backed 8K-X.
This may well take weeks.
Perhaps a forum genius can make an editable table for âloanerâ headset users whoâve now shipped their hradsets back to confirm they did?
NB: A loaned headset being shipped from a backers property doesnât mean the headset is in Pimaxâs hands in China yet. There might be weeks delay depending on courier service and possible delays from the virus also. On top, 8K-X needs to be physically manufactured also.
Realistically Iâd expect it to be around end of June the loaned headsets should be back with Pimax meaning itâs probably early to mid July until theyâre shipped out to the first 8X- X backers with upgrades backers more like the end of July into August and beyond.
After that, Pimax has the last 4 months or so of 2020 to fulfill 8K-X pre-orders on the Pimax store before they can even begin to entertain selling 8K-X on Amazon in 2021, so thereâs a huge amount of work to do and Pimax know it.

Yeah I think itâs time pimax letâs us know the production schedule. How many is being produced, ramp up numbers and delivery schedule. These have been on preorder for 8 months now!

Can anyone remember the quantity pimax considered a âbatchâ during the early kickstarter shipments of the 8 and 5k? I wonder if itâs the same.

A Kickstarter with a provided loaner headset Is very different from someone paying far more money upfront on a preorder donât you think?

Tbh my loaner was kinda broken to begin with hence Iâm returning it. Iâd be happier if I could buy it off and it worked. Also yea a Kickstarter is totally different if Pimax went bankrupt in those 3 years I get nothing.

That would be ridiculous. They shouldnât wait to receive the loaners before sending 8K-X headsets. Just do an advanced shipment (like an advanced RMA). If they are indeed waiting for loaners, then at least they should send out 8K-X to people who donât have loaners first because then by the time they receive loaners theyâll already have produced another batch ready for loaner orders.
Plus what is Pimax going to do with those 3 year old loaners? They canât resell them. The only usefulness to them is probably for parts or refurbishment.

My label doesnât have the headset going to China, so I wouldnât expect them to wait until it gets to China. When it gets to the destination on the label, Iâd expect to be cleared, and they should send the X when possible, since I wouldnât be able to track the package after that. @Navi_8K
Just dropped off mine to get shipped today

Shame you got a faulty loaner. I must have been very lucky with my 5/8k they were both 100%. I hope your x is very close to shipping.

Whelp. Itâs a loaner so I wonât complain too much. I hope they donât screw up the X.

I donât think that will be a problem Pimax have so much banking on the X.

It would be great if Pimax would at least ball park number on headsets made weekly.

How hard would it be for Pimax to do that again! ??
