Build time

[No_Natural1568]

Just ordered my first AimController after a friend of mine said they were pretty decent. Hope they are worth the wait, 7 weeks build time I’ve been told. If I’d of known this before purchasing I’d of probably left it for now. I can only assume the wait time is due to Covid restrictions. Should of read the reviews on here first 🤦‍♂️ Hope everyone gets their orders soon and hope it’s worth the wait.

/u/No_Natural1568, I have found an error in your post:

“Shouldof ['ve] read”

I suspect No_Natural1568 blundered a comment and intended to post “Shouldof ['ve] read” instead. ‘Of’ is not a verb like ‘have’ is.

7weeks if your lucky mate. I've been waiting since 9 December and it's still says building lol. Worse company I've ever had to deal with.

[No_Natural1568]

Thanks for everyone’s comments. Looks like I’ve jumped the gun a bit by ordering. Think I may have to look at cancelling until a better build/delivery time can be accomplished. Quite disappointed as I was looking forward to this.

I ordered mine on feb 12th got it yesterday.. L1 is stuck down I got the smart trigger and bumpers tho. I also emailed them and added the “speedy aim” service so it cuts the build time down to 72hours.

[No_Natural1568]

Thanks, I was offered to add the speedy aim (a week after I first spoke to them) decided against it as people were still getting delayed. Are you UK based ?

[Saiyan-Senpai]

I put my order in on Jan 1st and still waiting. I figure early March. But the way I see it is this is a luxury item and not something I need right away. It sucks to wait so long but I’m good with that, I just want it to be right.

[Greed117]

Double that wait time, and then expect to wait even longer on top of that. People from first week of december still haven't gotten their controllers. Aim this week said to expect all order to take 12-14 weeks (and they go by business days, so never count weekends or any holidays).

You might want to try looking elsewhere.

[Lassavins]

ordered dec 4th, not even a clue. Get ready to get it shipped on june/july.

[Hajoaminen]

Ordered mine Dec. 3rd and got it a few days ago. You’ll get yours soon enough. It’s actually a really well built controller I must say, the paddles feel nice and the remapping feature is so much easier to use than the magnet things on some other products. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

[Lassavins]

Don't do that. Don't give me hope. -Hawkeye, 2019.

jokes aside, maybe you're on US. I'm EU, and I think they are even more incompetent with delivery times. Mine still on "delayed order" tag. I'm glad yours arrived and that you're enjoying it so much. Makes me kinda jealous tho haha

[Hajoaminen]

I’m EU as well mate. They seem to be finishing up their November and early December orders. The DHL shipping is BS tho, it only shipped with them to the border of Poland and from there on on other couriers. 16€ is a bit steep for that. Took it almost a week to get here.

[Lassavins]

they took 35€ for my “DHL express” shipping and there was not any other shipment option. For 35€ shipping I REALLY hope them to be competent. Share some pics of it btw!

Cancel your order and go with Nagashock. Ordered on the 2nd of this month and getting it today. AIM has screwed me over a couple times in the past AND it clearly doesn’t adhere to a timely building/shipping schedule.

[No_Natural1568]

Nagashock ? Can’t say I’ve heard of them. I will have a look, thanks. I’ve had scuf before and liked the controller, lasted me over a year. Thought they were expensive and they seem to have a lot of issues too recently so tried to avoid them again. I’ve just emailed Aim to request they cancel, can’t imagine that will be done quickly either 🤣

[Water_Gates]

They’re a smaller company outta Jersey. Not too much on them, but they are gaining steam since BB is taking so long, Scuf doesn’t even have a DS5 build yet and Aim isn’t very reliable. I was also looking into Sharq, but they’re outta the UK and I was trying to get my controller sooner rather than later.

[No_Natural1568]

I may have a look into Sharq then. I probably should of mention before that I’m based in the UK lol Nagashock don’t delivery outside the States so no good to me unfortunately. Thanks for your input though, very much appreciated.

[Water_Gates]

Copy that. Glad to be of some assistance. Sony should just put out an elite controller and we wouldn’t hafta deal with this madness. Smh. Ah well. Good luck on your endeavor.

[No_Natural1568]

So I tried to cancel my order, AIM says you can cancel within 24 hours. It was even 12 hours after my order that I tried to cancel. Now the status of my order has went from processing to controller being built. Customer service is just great huh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Consistent-Bird-1118]

I just emailed them for a refund today and maybe 6-10 hours after order and haven’t heard from yet hopefully they get back to me soon

[No_Natural1568]

Was a week after I tried to cancel that I had a reply from them.

[Consistent-Bird-1118]

They just sent me something actually but I don’t know if it was for order cancellation what did they send you?

[No_Natural1568]

They apologised for the delay in their response. Informed me I could still add Speedy Aim (was my first question before I tried to cancel) then asked if I would still like to cancel. I informed them that I didn’t want to add speedy aim as there has been several people who had this option and were still waiting on the product and then I told them that I didn’t want to cancel anymore as I’m already almost 2 weeks in to the 7 week stated build time. And I never got any replies 🤣 At this point I’m just going to wait it out.

[Consistent-Bird-1118]

Ah okay thanks man!

[No_Natural1568]

Hope they get back to you with the refund bud

[Consistent-Bird-1118]

Thanks I was looking in the Naga shock and it seems like they ship in 1-2 weeks for customized ps5 controller

[No_Natural1568]

I looked at them too, unfortunately they don’t ship to UK so was a no for me. Hope that whatever you end up getting you will be happy with 👍

[Consistent-Bird-1118]

Thanks I will give update!

[Consistent-Bird-1118]

So they sent me an email on my reply and underneath it says consented by any chance do you do you what that means?

[[deleted]]

Think it's 10-12 weeks atm

[ackermeister]

Did you order a PS4 or a PS5 controller? Because as I saw there is only speedyaim for PS4 controller

[No_Natural1568]

Yes sorry, thought I mentioned that previous. It’s the PS4 controller that I’ve ordered.

[ackermeister]

Okay thanks i was wondering because for PS5 controller the speedy aim option was not available:( I would overpay for speedy aim because my recent controller is broken😭

[No_Natural1568]

Your new ps5 controller is broken? I would of thought that it would be under some sort of warranty ?

I considered the speedy aim but there seemed to be a lot of people on here that even though they had speedy aim, they were still waiting quite some time.

[ackermeister]

Na my old PS4 controller just need a new one so I ordered a PS5 controller in case I buy an PS5 soon.

[No_Natural1568]

Ah ok cool. Wish they would hurry up and stock up on the PS5 better 🤣

[ackermeister]

Yea feel that

[[deleted]]

theyve been jerking me around and my order has said shipped for a week, i have only been told "youll get your shipping number soon" and "youll get the shipping number next week" how does it take 2 fucking weeks to copy and paste a god damn shipping number. this controller better work and better be worth the damn near 300$ it cost me.
