What news do we have about when the different waves will arrive in both the United States and the European Union?
You feel it? Yeah, it's impatience, and many, despite what one may think from the latest news and the reception of the Rabbit r1 in some media dedicated to technology, we are looking forward to the arrival of gadget.
And it is that in the Rabbit r1 Discord dedicated to resolving doubts that may arise regarding shipping and receipt dates, users continue to give brushstrokes about dates and how orders are being staggered.
Who is receiving the shipments?
Apparently in the USA there are already many buyers whose shipment is already in their hands taking into account that both the first and second waves—10k units each— they are already on their way for a few days/weeks.
Rabbit has confirmed to through your website that for both the United States and Canada The first batch and almost the entire second is already on its way, so it will be a matter of a few days for it to reach the hands of its owners.
How are the Rabbit r1 shipped?
It must be taken into account that all these shipments go through two phases.
On the one hand, the Hong Kong Factory finishes assembling the devices, which are sent directly from there once the corresponding batch is completed and is being sent at that moment.
At least in the United States, those units reach a hub, from where they will begin to be distributed to the different transportation agencies to ship the device to the end user.
This is why there are people of the same batch which gets the numbers tracking before others belonging to the same lot, and that is It will depend on which company is going to deliver to you. Of the device.
For Europe and the United Kingdom
As we know, shipments of the Rabbit r1 to Europe and the UK are going to be somewhat different, and in principle they are going to skip the need to use a "delivery man" and all units will leave Hong Kong directly to homes of buyers.
There are some users who bought in pre-sale and who say they have received a tracking number around April 30, but since then they have not had any further news about the status of the shipment of their Rabbit r1.
Anyway, I consider this to be normal.. As we mentioned, when talking about shipping they mean that they have left the factories in Hong Kong, not that they are traveling to the final customers' homes, although in the case of Europe it is somewhat different.
As of this writing, just a couple of weeks have passed, and let's remember that so that the Pickup Party held on April 23, the units left the Asian facilities on March 31, which is approximately 3 weeks ago.
So for now we have to wait for the shipment. On Discord they seem to complain a little about the "randomness" that shipments are experiencing, but I understand that little by little we will have more information and we will begin to have news of arrivals in Europe this month.
