I've got a pre-order in through Perfect Circuit (ordered September 12), but I've seen on Sweetwater, their fulfillment dates have changed many times.

Seems all vendors are in the position, but would vendors receive their shipments too or is the Dec 15 date just for customer orders direct from NI?

I just don’t understand how they can’t promise the s88 by Christmas after we all preordered in September.

well the fact that NI and other vendors have stopped even taking orders for the S88 should probably say something about how big the backlog is versus how many they can actually make.

I’d just be happy to be told what the hold up is. I hope NI pulls thru and we get them this week!

I really do hope they can deliver them before Christmas

@smcolw @Ari21 @kelley I'm trying to get more info about that topic.

Hey all, european orders have been fulfiilled. There is a 4-5 days delay for the US, orders should be fullfilled this week. I know the more we approach Xmas the more time sensitive it gets. Sorry for the delay.

kelley

Thanks @Jeremy_NI as I’m sure you can imagine how frustrating the continued missed dates with radio silence from NI is. Did European fulfillment happen on the 13th as previously told? Just trying to get expectations for what 4-5 days means.

Jeremy_NI

@kelley As I've said, the US orders should be fullfilled this week, european orders have all been fulfiilled by now.

!!!!!!!!! I’m excited for you, I haven’t personally gotten one but I’m happy to see the s88 starting to roll out. And I do really hope it makes it to you before Christmas🤞🏼

Never mind I did get shipping confirmation I just had slow internet 😂!!!!!

kelley

great! Now it’s a race for FedEx to get them to us in the next 4 days.

Good to read the keyboards are on their way. Hopefully you get them in time. 🤞
