ColoradoQuattro Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's o-fish-all... The S18 has cleared customs in China and will be here.... Monday. What's the collective experience been like waiting for the wheels to clear customs on the US side? Is there another series of hurdles to clear once they arrive, or is this a standard air shipment at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-iB- Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Still stuck with 'label created' as my latest update so I guess mine will be a while longer... not really worth the extra money for the air shipping at this rate but I suppose delays were always possible this route. I imagine customs on the US side could possibly be an extra delay as well, but hopefully not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranium Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 My tracking just got an update. It now says shipped today from Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong so I guess it cleared customs. There is no delivery date yet though. I knew my dedication of continuously hitting the refresh on the UPS tracking would pay off! (or get my IP banned from UPS for flooding) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave my drug shipment alone! Well that sounds fun! I was hoping these would ship before any issues between the US and China occured (probably doesnt impact shipments but I cant help but wonder...) Still sitting here with "label created" but ewheels gave an update saying itll be a few more days before all of them shuffle through, due to battery limits on cargo for air shipments so probably mine is one of the last to go out. Crossing fingers for everyone to get their wheels next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Mine took a different route. As Jason said they are filtering through available planes a few at a time.

Scottie888 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Even though mine won't arrive til Aug (or maybe later😬), I'm still dropping by here daily just to get a whiff of any good news. Since we're sharing the nail biting anticipation here, hopefully some of yous will also share your impressions & thoughts when it finally arrives & won't leave us on the hairy edge... Sigh, Lucky I got a strong heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patton250 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Mine has cleared customs in Louisville Kentucky and is scheduled for delivery on Monday. My UPS guy always comes about 7 o’clock at night. I have to get up first thing Tuesday morning and go away for three days. So I won’t even get to play with this thing until Friday.

Ben Hatfield Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 notice the weight - 21KGS/47lbs? Guessing this must be some shipping round down, but it will be interesting what the exact final weight of the production model is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
