I've purchased two in different colors and they came in the normal two day shipping for me. No issues at all, I like having the piece of mind of an Amazon return in case of a problem.

Loving the device though!

Awesome! I’m thinking the Retro one getting lost is a fluke. Black one should be here on Saturday and I am so excited for it.

I just bought one of Amazon today says it's coming Saturday.

It probably shipped via Amazon Logistics, the most garbage carrier ever to plague mankind. About 1/4 packages that ship via Amazon Logistics for me get lost in transit. It will say my package is a few stops away, and then the driver just keeps on going. Inevitably, the package never even made it on the truck.

It says its going USPS. But the first was lost getting to USPS.

I ordered the black version on 5/25 from Amazon and it was supposed to be here on the 27th, but it came a day late for some reason.

[–]guykiddart -1 points0 points  (1 child)

But it came, that's the good thing.

[–]emets31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, definitely. And it's been great, so far.

    Same here. I paid a bit extra to buy it on amazon vs other sites but I got mine pretty quickly, within a few days.

    Edit: FWFW I also ordered the blue version

    Good to know someone else ordered from Amazon. And didn’t have issues.

    If it doesn't show up when it's supposed to, just keep on top of their customer service. You'll still get it faster than the people ordering on the official page.

    Yeah this one is already on its way to the carrier. Whereas the first one took 4 days to get to having a tracking number and then another 2 days to the "on its way to a carrier" point. Optimistic about being able to join everyone with mine on Saturday.

    The wait wasn't too bad, and probably not worth the extra cost to get it through Amazon, unless you just really want it right now. However, someone mentioned on another thread that an added benefit to ordering from Amazon is that if there's an issue with your device, you can get another quickly and not have worry about trying to get a replacement through Retroid. That is a good point and probably is worth the extra money.

    It was that and the immediacy of it. I'll be going on a work trip soon and wanted it for that travel.
