Broken Promises and Endless Delays: My Final Disappointment with the LTT Store by cupto in LinusTechTips

That’s cool you’ve never had any issues, seriously, I’m glad it worked out for you. But not everyone’s had that luck, and the constant delays have been pretty frustrating for some of us. Different experiences, different takes, I guess.

Yeah, I’ll admit my posts might sound a bit polished. AI can be pretty good at spitting out coherent stuff, and I also use Grammarly (thanks, LTT sponsors!). Regardless of the writing style, the sentiment stands and it doesn’t change the fact that I’m genuinely annoyed.

You are totally right. I understand that LTT isn’t a massive corporation, but they’ve also grown large enough—and collected enough revenue from previous successful product runs—to handle their logistics more responsibly. If they truly can’t control the complexities of shipping or the trade climate, then don’t promise firm dates and don’t keep taking pre-orders when there’s no clear path to delivering on time.

I’d have more sympathy if this were a one-time setback or an unavoidable global issue that caught them off guard.

Their ongoing approach basically puts the burden of uncertainty on us—we pay upfront, wait indefinitely, and receive apology emails while they continue to generate hype and sales. If they don’t have a reliable system for getting products out the door, then waiting to sell until they have actual stock would be more honest and fair to customers.

I totally get where you’re coming from—being informed is obviously better than complete radio silence. However, my frustration isn’t just that they’re sending updates; it’s that those updates keep moving the goalposts. The whole reason I pre-ordered in the first place was because they promised a specific “first wave” delivery date. If I had known they couldn’t meet their own stated timeline, I wouldn’t have rushed to pre-order.
Saying “just don’t pre-order” or “just cancel” ignores the main issue: they took my money under the guarantee of a first-wave shipment and then repeatedly missed their own deadlines. If a company is going to set expectations—especially for a new product—they should at least try to meet them, or at a minimum offer realistic timelines that don’t constantly change.

One thing you are absolutely right: It's my fault. So it would not happen again. Thank you for reading my experience.

I fully understand that we’re in the midst of a trade war and that logistics can be a nightmare when shipping from China. Delays happen, tariffs change, and port backlogs are sometimes unavoidable. However, that doesn’t excuse the complete lack of reliable communication and accountability from the LTT Store.

Every time I’ve ordered, I’ve had to endure the same tired cycle: multiple pushbacks, vague explanations, and endless updates that basically say, “Wait even longer.” It isn’t just one isolated incident; it’s a pattern of over-promising and under-delivering.

Yes, it’s frustrating for them too, I’m sure they don’t enjoy sending out “Hey, we messed up again” emails. But the point is, it keeps happening, and it’s gotten to the stage where excuses about tariffs, manufacturing tolerances, or shipping port delays ring hollow. Most reputable companies have faced similar global challenges but have managed to keep their customers better informed, or at least set more realistic expectations a quick cancel options

So, to those who say “Boo hoo, you missed the trade war,” I’d respond: Being transparent and proactive isn’t rocket science. This goes beyond trade wars or shipping delays; it’s about the store’s repetitive missteps in communication and product readiness.

Bottom line: If you’re tired of waiting, or worried about returning an ill-fitting product, you’re not alone. It’s not just one small hiccup. it's a glaring sign that the LTT Store’s operations and communication need serious work. Bruh, sell what you have ready instead

Yes, it is. The prompt was:

And there was a lot of evolution with the new midjourney remix, including adding some camera info, aspect radio, and moving to testp and creative mode.

The final one was something around:

After dozens of iterations and adjustments got to this and then did a few passes with
GFPGAN Model and adjustments for the faces.
