    Hi
    i understand that it takes a while between clicking the "Purchase" button on the internet, and having a new m15x right besides you, so my question is obvious:
    how much time? (with shipping within the US)
    thnx

    less than 3 weeks - awesome!
    3 to 4 weeks - standard
    more than 4 weeks - very unlucky (like us europeans at the moment)
    more than 2 months - one very horrifying account from someone here..

    Even in the US it can take a while. Been in Phase 4 for a few weeks. The estimated ship date when you placed the order is supposed to be the best estimate according to AW, but it's certainly not guaranteed to be accurate. It was supposed to ship out today according to the estimate I got when ordering (doesn't look like that will happen). Hopefully mine will only be a week or two late.

    Uhm... I live in the US, it's been 5 weeks so far... And this IS the standard for all current buyers. AW sucks... expect at least a 4 week wait, and a 6 week wait can be expected.

    I ordered mine on the 25th of feb and got a date of march the 25th for shipment...which means maybe april first after shipment....sucks. But It will be well worth the wait.

    Ordered on the 4th Feb, got told yesterday that it could be end of march early april before they even start building it,
    so Best estimate is 70 days from ordering to delivery in the EU.

    I would like to travel to china and make an appointment to see quanta, about buying chassis from them, and assembling my own.........it would be quicker!
