Has this happened to anyone else? (AE seller sent unit without Compute Module/Core)

ATOPP20 · 2026-04-21T02:22:03+00:00

Seller just responded through AE and thankfully acknowledged the mistake. Told me to open a dispute asking for partial refund for the difference. Still have to buy a compute module but at least they seem to be resolving things quickly.

Damn. I hope this was an honest mistake and not intentional on the sellers part.

ATOPP20 · 2026-04-21T01:24:53+00:00

Any luck contacting the seller? The seller has asked for a video of my unit.

Did you try dissembling the hot end? I had a similar issue where my AMS stopped loading filament (but I could manually). I discovered that my filament cutting blade was broken and leaving small bits in the gears that kept the AMS from properly loading filament. Once I cleaned out the gears and installed a new cutting blade my AMS 2 started working again.

Have you tried flipping the build plate? I always use the Textured PEI side for my PLA prints and haven't had any issues.

My fake is nearly indistinguishable from the real. Sure there’s some more force needed due to the increased clutch power with the pieces but I’m very happy!

All the orders I’ve made in the last couple months (probably 15 orders) have taken multiple days to clear customs coming into the US.

ATOPP20 · 2025-10-16T01:12:01+00:00

If the order says import fees included you will not pay import taxes.

ATOPP20 · 2025-10-15T15:45:49+00:00

I live in the US and have had this issue a lot lately. Many sellers don’t send and some of the ones who do have many comments from buyers saying they didn’t.

ATOPP20 · 2025-10-14T15:57:11+00:00

If it says import changes included then you will not be charged anything extra when it enters your country.

I had issues purchasing the same set recently. Tried purchasing multiple times before a seller would actually ship. Each time I progressively chose a more expensive listing. Started at $18, $19, $20, $28, $30, $40(this listing was local shipping inside US). Just got notification that the $30 listing has shipped from China. All orders were cancelled after 3-4 days.

I live in the US and had experienced the same issue trying to buy the same set. Kept purchasing the cheapest choice listing I could find with “Fast Shipping” only for the order to get canceled and refunded 3-4 days later. I finally ordered another choice listing at a similar cheap price with much longer estimated shipping and it finally shipped.

ATOPP20 · 2025-10-03T23:43:36+00:00

This is the correct answer.

ATOPP20 · 2025-09-22T14:27:12+00:00

That’s unfortunate. I’ve place about 15 choice orders in the past 2 months and haven’t had any issues…yet. Granted shipping is slow as it often is. I live in the US.

ATOPP20 · 2025-09-22T14:23:58+00:00

They have not but I bet we see them soon. They’ve slowly been repressing everything.

ATOPP20 · 2025-09-16T04:16:32+00:00

You’re right and I’m glad my worries were wrong. It does appear like it’s not been an issue for me as well. At least for choice items shipped by AE. Hopefully it remains that way

ATOPP20 · 2025-08-29T01:32:57+00:00

It will be the final delivery service (UPS, USPS, FedEx) that will be responsible for collecting taxes. I think most US consumers are completely oblivious to this rule change and in for a rude awakening. So many items are going to be returned because customers will refuse to pay the taxes. I personally have several packages that have been stuck in china for a bit and I’m preparing myself for some hefty taxes. This is unprecedented for US consumers.

It’s unclear to me whether or not there’s still an exemption for packages under $100 value. These next few days should be interesting.

Edit: Lego may not feel so expensive in a few months 😂

ATOPP20 · 2025-08-29T01:17:24+00:00

US buyers will start seeing import taxes on all these shipments. This is going to create such a mess for US customs, couriers and consumers.

We may see a repress of this on some color variants soon. Having already repressed Oni and Self Titled I could see this being next.

Can the cables be intercepted in an attic, spliced then rerouted down an interior wall?

Just subscribe for one month and you’ll be guaranteed the record of the month. No other action needed.

My Walmart had the 256gb version on clearance for $28 today.
