That is bad. I know there are a few on or slightly before Black Friday that are still waiting - but many have their orders delivered. Have you been pushing or did you let it go?24th
Well only my shop can check for me, I called them at the end of March and they had no updates. They called me a week ago to tell me they were going to check with whipple but never got back to me. Either way it's not here. I won't be here much longer so I need an update soon.That is bad.

What I have found - which isn't surprising - is that bigger Shops and those pushing like super intense never going to stop calling you energy (not negative or aggressive, just consistent) - tend to be getting their units. I think there was a guy on here who ordered early December that already has his. It's the whole squeaky wheel thing...Well only my shop can check for me, I called them at the end of March and they had no updates.

That’s total bullshit! I just might cancel mine.What I have found - which isn't surprising - is that bigger Shops and those pushing like super intense never going to stop calling you energy (not negative or aggressive, just consistent) - tend to be getting their units.

It sucks - but if you last checked in a month ago...urgency is going to be low.
That's my beef with the Whipple wait. It is a great product and a great value but there was no notice when I bought mine on BF that there was going to be a wait and they took 100% of the payment right away 15 weeks before shipping. It would have been much better if they were upfront with the wait time and took a $1000 down payment and the remainder prior to shipping.Did you pay for it in full?
100% agree. Put down a deposit and pay the rest when it's ready to ship. Maybe they would have more motivation to improve their production process if they didn't have everyone's money up front.That's my beef with the Whipple wait.

Or if they told people it would be a 6 month wait they wouldn't have received so many orders.If people refused to buy until the item was in stock I bet they would get off their ass and make sure they filled orders.
Yup...I am in - would take more time to get anything else anyway lol. We are living during a pandemic - the idea that they "should" do x, y, z isn't realistic. No one knew what would happen. And because we are living in a pandemic - there are far worse things afoot. I know most of the people on this thread have Whipples on order - I don't think all of those commenting here do though.I’m betting you guys could get someone to take your spots no problem if you really want out. I can’t imagine what the covid bs supply issue’s have done to there business model. I’m a GC and to say it’s fxcked up mine is an understatement. I’m anxious as hell to, but no way am I backing out.
Its not just the automotive stuff too I have been wanting a new gpu for my pc and the PS5 and I cannot get one at retail to save my life and that's been since SeptemberYup...I am in - would take more time to get anything else anyway lol.
