2014 Razer Blade 14 Ship Date thread

Finally shipped! Ordered 3/21 for the 256gb from Razer. Going to be delivered Saturday even though I picked the free shipping which is sweet! I'm sure a lot of us are getting a shipping conformation today

 

I wish! I got the backorder email. I did only order two weeks ago though

 

Got my shipping note! It's on the way ....ordered 3/27 256gb

 

Dear xyz,

Due to overwhelming demand, the shipment of your order that was placed on 3/15/2014 has been rescheduled to 5/12/2014.

For avoidance of doubt, if you have chosen to pay by credit card, it will only be charged upon shipment. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Team RazerStore

Hah, more lies. Unbelievable.

 

Oh come on!

I just got an email from Razer saying:

" Due to overwhelming demand, the shipment of your order that was placed on 4/4/2014 has been rescheduled to 5/21/2014"

I hope Microsoft restocks over the weekend so I can get rid of razer and get it as soon as possible

I received my shipping confirmation last night! I ordered a 256gb on 3/18.

 

Wow, Razer is having a hard time keeping up with demand. I guess this is one popular niche product. Pushed back to 5/21 again.

 

Me too; order date was later though.

 

Screw you Razer.

 

Here is the email that I was greeted with today: "

I am really starting to think that I am a victim of a practical joke. I am waiting for Ashton Kutcher to show up and tell me I have been punked.

 

Got the same email as well. I'm probably the only one who's glad about it because I've been trying to cancel that order since yesterday.

 

Got the same robo email. Ordered 256 on 4/4. I had never contacted anyone in razor regarding my order this is the first correspondence since the original back order email.

Since everyone got this email. I
Assume it is simply a reset date not an promise of shipment.

I love how the shipping thread has so many more pages than the actual Blade 14 thread. Shows the quality of Razer and their commitment to their customers.

 

It more shows the level of interest in the product and the level of whining in the people who are buying it. I'm pretty sure Razer wants to sell us all their product and make money. By your metric, Apple is also a company who has no commitment customers: Verizon iPhone 5 Preorder Status Thread - Page 332 - MacRumors Forums

 

Got the same Email from Razer.
Due to overwhelming demand blah,blah,blah..... It's 5/16/14 now .

 

Oh well, Monday is only 1 extra business day (of course assuming it ships on the 12th). At least they sent an email this time. Funny it's exactly 2 months since I ordered, and I thought 3-4 weeks seemed an insurmountable time to wait when I ordered.

Anyone actually get a shipping notification for the 512GB? I think I've only seen one several pages back in this forum?

 

I got the 5/21 email this morning. Ordered a 512 on 4/25. I expected this.

 

what kind of nonsense is that. i got the 5/21 email. i ordered on 3/28. i guess that could be okay. i got priority shipping. if it ships on that wednesday i could get it on thursday or friday but i go on vacation on saturday

 

Due to overwhelming demand, the shipment of your order that was placed on 3/12/2014 has been rescheduled to 5/16/2014... ugh

 

I find it incredibly interesting that so many people who ordered on March 12 still haven't gotten theirs yet, and it seems like now those who ordered leading up to March 21 have received theirs.

Really starting to wonder about Razers competence.

I also got the 5/21 email, but I'm really starting to guess that it's going to be more along the lines of 6/7-6/14.

 

My guess is they are getting a large shipment of 512s on ~5/21. They originally said 5/23 so it's about right.

Bottom line is i'm not going to settle for a different competing unit just to get something a little sooner. I wanted the Blade 14 so I'll wait. I won't care about this in July, I'll have long had it and been using it. That's a snap of the fingers in the grand scheme of things.

 

they are going to develop and ship the first razer blade (2015) before i get this one.

 

LOL - I can see it now:

Email 1: "Due to overwhelming demand, all remaining pre-orders of the Razer Blade 2014 have been automatically upgraded to a Razer Blade 2015 at no extra cost."

Followed a day later by:

Email 2: "Due to overwhelming demand, your order for the Razer Blade 2015 is on backorder. We will notify you as quickly as possible when we have more information."

 

The fact that they are stratifying the dates. 5/12, 5/16, 5/21 is a very good sign. It suggests an actual timetable. Clearly the delays in some folks is a model specific issue.

I've sort of been hoping the same thing, but the page doesn't even exist anymore, or at least it doesn't list the blade anymore.

 

My 512GB was pushed to 5/12. Ordered confirmation e-mail was received at 1:32pm EST on 3/12.

 

Ordered my 512GB on March 12, 2014 1:34:30 PM CDT and got the email that's it's been pushed back to 5/12. I don't even care anymore when I get it, my respect for Razer has been lowered because of this experience. Give me a firm f***ing date, no matter how far off it is, and ship it! None of this backorder email crap!

 

Not sure if anyone noticed, but I was on Razer's site about 10 minutes ago and it said that there was "limited stock available" of the 256GB model. I added it to my cart and it said "in stock" on the cart page. I've had one pre-ordered at Amazon since early April, but I decided to pull the trigger on this if it really was in stock. I got an order confirmation email that says they are reviewing the order. I looked again on their site and the pre-order message was back (3-4 weeks). When you add it to the cart, it says backorder. I'm thinking I probably missed out on the "limited quantity" they had in stock.

 

Just got my 256GB from Microsoft, went to email and see another delay email from Razer saying my 512GB was pushed back to 5/16. Plenty of time for them to get my cancellation email. I probably won't ever try to order from Razer again, way too painful.

 

Yes I did notice, I was able to grab one and even used the bill me later option.

I'll keep you guys updated.

 

I ordered from Microsoft on Tuesday after seeing it in this forum. Thanks guys! Did one day shipping and it is coming today. I'll give my impressions when it arrives.

 

Can someone please tell me the phone number to contact for order support? I searched through this thread and found one listed: 1-888-697-2037. Called that number and there was just a recording saying "We are currently closed" in a British accent with no mention of Razer. Is that the right number?

 

Heh, just for giggles I looked at how my order of the Blade Pro (2013) went.

The order was made on June 3, 2013. The shipment was made on June 13th but both the shipping notification and laptop arrived on June 14, 2013.

Man, that was awesome.

 

Try 855-872-5233

 

Geez, I missed ordering from the Microsoft store! When will they have stock again?!

 

The shipping problems makes me wonder if they are having production problems, any complaints out there from those who got them?

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu razer

holy crap......

 

Got an email today, I didn't expect a Razer anytime soon, and did not query them for data.
"Due to overwhelming demand, the shipment of your order that was placed on 4/27/2014 has been rescheduled to 5/21/2014."

I ordered the 512 Gb version

 

Finally got my Blade! Downloading League at the moment!

 

Which version? 256gb? 512gb?

 

I ordered from Microsoft on Tuesday and Razer on 3/18. I had planned on cancelling the Razer once I saw people with MS orders got the right one... And both shipped yesterday.

Looks like I'll have to refuse the Razer shipment. Chase gives me 5x points for the MS one and honestly, I don't want a mouse that fall asleep every 2.5 min so I don't think I'll miss the Orochi. (Plus I could buy one with the points and it would still be cheaper.)

 

Meanwhile Amazon customers are still looking at June-July. Send one to me please.

 

Probably not soon enough. Yet probably before the Razer store's backorders go through.

 

I rang the Razer CS again and they are completely clueless. Great.

 

I had overnight shipping if that matters

I got the 256gb model. I went to the actual store nearby and picked one up. They had 3 in stock.

 

Just go to a store nearby, I drove 3 hours for mine!

 

Go an email today saying my order (256GB) has been pushed back again from 5/9 to 5/12. Really just one business day, but honestly I'm starting to feel a little irked by the ordeal...I ordered end of march. *breathe*
