Re: Replicator 2 Shipping Time Thread

Contacted them a few times (both pre- and post- storm) and they keep insisting that 4-6 weeks is accurate.

They've already gone beyond 6 weeks on my order, and I still haven't heard anything from MBI. They keep promising to be "sending out an update very soon with more information and specifics".

Ordered September 28

No shipping notification

No printer

[Big-E]

Makerbot Replicator 2

Order placed via phone and receipt received via E-mail: October 8th

Shipping notification: not yet

Original shipping deadline is marked on my calendar. One week from today.

Obviously, I don't have my printer yet. Waiting for the original deadline to pass before I call and inquire on the status of my order.

[Infinityplusplus]

Ordered mine : September 25th. No shipping information as of now.

 

I did ask for an update last week and was told that they did not expect to go out past 7 weeks, which is tomorrow for me.

 

waiting patiently is hard, but I'm giving it my best. 

 

[Big-E]

Just got another e-mail from MakerBot,

In the message they say that while they are still recovering from Sandy's wrath, they are getting back to pre-storm production levels, and they are working hard to get the Replicators out to those who have been waiting.

If you have any doubts at to whether or not MakerBot reps read this forum, now you know.
They probably saw this thread.

-Big-E

[Big Bonenfant]

I got mine in October - Think At least 5 weeks before it ships -

Mine was ready to ship in 5 weeks - Then was at Makerbot Waiting on Fedex for 3 days and then normal shipping of 1 week time 

The storm didnt effect my order either it was before that hit 

So in 6 weeks from when your order was place you should have it - Unless you pay for overnight or something on those lines 

Another note if you really want one bad just drive to The Big Apple and pick one up from there store - Except you have to pay sales Tax :-(

I got the same email today. I was hoping for something more along the lines of, "your printer is approximately xx days away from being ready." I just don't understand why we're having to wait so long, but they have printers at the store.

[Henry Frear]

I ordered mine on September 20th, bothered MBI 4 times for updates which they insisted they would email me tracking numbers when it left. I travel a lot for work and wanted to be home to sign for it. Well last Thursday I got home and there was the FedEx door tag... Luckily I didn't need to leave until noon on Friday and was able to take delivery of it. 

I still have not received a shipped confirmation from MBI and I actually received the same letter that many of you have saying it will be shipped out soon... I get the feeling things are a bit disorganized around there, I won't complain if the send a second one ;) .

[Infinityplusplus]

I was actually bothered by the having printers at the physical store as well. even before the storm, i was waiting while printers sat in the store. Seems like you should take care of the customers who already paid first.

While I sort of feel the same way, to their defense, Technically, they did pay for the printer already, it's merchandise waiting in their store so they can sell it, and make that expense back. They probably allocated X-amount of printers for in-store stock. kind of pointless to have a brick-and-mortar location with no printers on hand to sell to an eager customer.

On the other hand, post-Sandy, most of the potential customers out there are probably spending money on things like new furniture, cars, clothes and food, you know, all the stuff they need to replace now. The purchase of a 3D printer probably isn't high on the list of the potential consumers out there.

[Avandss]

Are you guys sure you can pick up a bot In store without waiting? Seriously considering driving down and just canceling my online order ... I don't care about the tax part. I want my bot lol

Why would they do that while we wait 6-7 weeks?

[Hugh Johnson]

I don't know for sure but someone posted that the store only takes orders just like the site. You can't walk out with a rep2.

Someone posted in a different thread that they bought one by walking into the store... Of course i dont know if there are currently any at the store, but if i remember right the person that posted about buying one said they had stacks of them to sell to walk in customers...

[Ben McCallum]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ben, I'm the support manager at MakerBot. I'm jumping in to let you all know that we hear you: it seems that a number of people have reported not receiving shipping confirmation for their orders before they arrived. We're very sorry about that. We've looked into this issue and we've made improvements to our order confirmation system, and we'll be reaching out to all of our customers whose orders have recently been shipped to make sure those shipping confirmations get through successfully.

I also want to assure you all that we're currently shipping on time, and we don't expect that to change - Sandy was a serious setback for MakerBot and our community as well as the tri-state area in general.   

We've been working diligently to get orders out on time, and so far we're very happy to say there haven't been any delays to our original projected lead time. That said, if it seems that there's any chance that we'll fall behind our projected lead times, we'll be sure to let anyone affected know as soon as possible, and we'll keep you all posted on our shipping status.

We're all grateful for your understanding while we get back on our feet in the aftermath of Sandy.  We can't wait to get these bots out to you to see what amazing things you'll make with them. If you have any questions about your order status, please always feel free to email us at sup...@makerbot.com - we'll be happy to provide you with an update, at MakerBot customer satisfaction is our number one priority! 

Sincerely,

Ben McCallum

MakerBot Support

I have next week off so the critical thing to me was that it arrived this week, which it did.

[Eighty]

Ben,

Thanks for the information, but I must admit I'm a bit confused.  You said, "and so far we're very happy to say there haven't been any delays to our original projected lead time".  But I'm already at 6 1/2 weeks - past the 4-6 week window that was advertised when I made my purchase.  As far as I know, my order hasn't shipped.  And you can see that some others have the same issue.

I hope I don't sound gruff, because I don't intend to be.  We're just trying to plan our time, and can't seem to get any real answers.

[David Mytchak]

Eighty,

I'm anxious also but reminding myself that they had a huge storm, new product line, new assembly, new suppliers, etc.   That's a boat load of thing that could easily go haywire in a moments notice.  I'm on week 7 (Order September 28th), anxious as hell, and pulling my hair out.   Hope this helps.

[Avandss]

Anybody order during the first week or so in October?

[Eighty]

Well, I'm not sure where they are with shipping.  Based on other feedback, today they're shipping some 9/25 orders and some 9/28 orders.  I also ordered on 9/28, and they just told me, "Great News!  It looks like your order will ship this week!"  I've asked for clarification (i.e., does that mean today, or Friday), but no response yet.

[Eighty]

WAIT!  I pressed "Post Reply" and refreshed my order status on the website.  It now shows as packed and shipped.  So put me down for:

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the replies. I checked on all the orders I could here and it looks like just about all have been shipped or are on the way out the door.

For anyone watching this thread thinking about buying one... It appears that Makershed has Rep2s in stock and ready to ship out now... Seems to be same price as well...

http://www.makershed.com/MakerBot_Replicator_2_3D_Printer_p/dsmb03.htm?Click=37845

[Big-E]

After waiting for two months, and no shipping notification yet, that's downright criminal.

Guess if I want to order a 2nd one, I'll be ordering from Makershed. It's sad when a 3rd party can get these things to customers quicker than the company that makes them.
I've also noticed there's a 30-day lead time for PLA filament from MakerBot now. This is just getting sad.

[Infinityplusplus]

FWIW I have been using utimaker PLA in mine without any issues. price is roughly the same and the tolerance seems very good. I recieved it in about 5 days after ordering it. Plus I was able to get black and silver.

Thanks for the heads up; I've looked into Ultimaker before, and I have them bookmarked (re: the thread about US-sourced filament) I fully intend to purchase filament form these guys. It's all Made in the USA too, from the plastic source to the guys that extrude it into filament. Yet another reason to go with these guys.

[joseph rueter]

Seems crazy from the outside.
Does anyone know something other than the standard explanations?

[Big-E]

They probably were affected by Sandy, That explains some of it. From the look of things the Replicator 2's lead time is about a week behind schedule from what I've been able to tell. As for PLA filament needing a month's worth of lead time, I don't know. Vendor problems? inventory getting soaked by flood waters? I can only speculate. MakerShed can ship them fast because they have them in inventory. Perhaps they places a large order early on? I dunno.

[Eighty]

If memory serves, and it usually doesn't, the 30-day lead time on MBI filament was started prior to Sandy.

[joseph rueter]

So... we should all cancel our orders with makerbot and buy from
makershed thereby making less profit a reality for makerbot?

[Steve]

Since MakerShed just started offering the printers, perhaps they placed an order

for several machines some time ago, waited for delivery like everyone else, and is now selling 

them. No problem with that.

MakerBot has treated me well, and rather than jump to negative conclusions

I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone else have any more order timeline information? It sure helps to see how things are flowing through the pipeline..

 .

[joseph rueter]

I hear you. They have been really really good to me too.

That order from MAKE would have needed to be on wholesale to make business sense, right?
I just got the Make Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing in the mail today.

The retail store is in front of the web orders and the wholesale orders are too? It's good to know.
Why not let everyone know?

Only if you use it for recreational purposes.

For someone trying to make things for a living with it, time is money. Is waiting two months when you don't need to worth the loss of productivity? I don't think so. I've had to push my plans back a few times due to the wait time. Despite this, I have yet to cancel my order.

Less profit for Makerbot? Seriously? You do know that MBI makes money off each printer, whether it's sold at their store, their website, or MakerShed, right?  Nobody gets a printer until it's paid for (unless you order directly from them over the phone or on the web, apparently).

Seriously, all this MBI cheerleading is out of hand in this forum. The very thought that buying from another vendor other than MBI somehow puts them in the poorhouse is akin to the allegory of Plato's Cave. They make money off every printer they make. it doesn't leave the factory unless it's been paid in full.

Next thing you know people will be complaining about the sale of a used makerbot printer, claimng we need to pay for it every time it changes hands. Lots of people here use 3rd party filament, but nobody complains that MBI isn't making money when you buy filament from another source. Hypocrisy, I say! 

I also got the Make 3D printing issue the other day; I'm starting to consider other machines for future purchases. My opinion may change, when I actually get the printer and filament I paid for, and use it for myself.

Main point of this post, I'd rather get what I paid for sooner than later, if that means ordering from Makershed in the future rather than straight form the manufacturer, so be it.

Yes indeed, people can earn a profit with a Replicator. All you need to do is make something useful with it, and sell it.

For one example, you only need to look at Makerbot's blog:

"Ok, so the iPad mini is all but a foreign device to most of America, as most people have seen it on Apple’s website or held one at best because it is so new.  However, Pixil 3D is on the grind again making consumer products as quickly as possible, and the iPad mini case is at the top of the list.  We have prototyped 3 different ones in the past couple days printing 4-5 different renditions of each.  Our Makerbot Replicator 2 is dialed in and we’re a few hours away from confidently selling our latest design for the iPad Mini.  Who wants one?"

It's a tool. What the end-user uses it for can result in cool trinkets, art, diy, or even a profitable consumer product.

Big E,

I'm with you. Last summer I chose the Replicator over other printers, not because it was the best deal or the best printer, but because MakerShed emailed me and said they had them in stock. The printer arrived in less than a week. Everything else I read had people waiting for months ( like they are here, but also for Cube, Solidoodle, etc.).

[Big-E]

Yes, and due to shipping delays with UPS, My printer is supposed to show up by December 3rd, it was originally going to show by the 30th. Sandy really made a mess of things.

[Steve]

Big-E

I have not heard about UPS shipping delays. Where are you located? Are the delays location related

or is there something still effecting shipments out of NYC?

 .

[Big-E]

I'm in Wisconsin, my order was held up In New Jersey. It was originally supposed to show up tomorrow, but when it got to Jersey, UPS posted an exception and my delivery date disappeared. Under "Activity", it said:

Due to local operation disruption, packages not unloaded from trailer, expect a one day business day delay

as of today, they updated the arrival date, it's due to show up on December 3rd.

If your order passes through Secaucus, NJ, expect a delay.

[Steve]

Big - E:  Thanks for the update. I am on the west coast and signed up for air delivery instead of ground. I did not want the thing rattling

around in the back of a truck for a week. I do not know if that method goes through Secaucus or not.

Based on the information above it looks like the lead time for orders is within the 8 weeks quoted on the

Don't worry too much about it. Two weeks ago the sales guys told me it would 'ship Tuesday or Wednesday' and to call back if it didn't. I called back as directed and was told... 'it will ship next Tuesday or Wednesday'. That would have been this week. No shipment notice this week either. The sales guys are well .. sales guys. The good news is that the support people seem really good, and focused on real customer support. I have been impressed with the responsiveness of the support team. Once you get a printer there is good support from the company, and a number of great people in this group who are very helpful.

I had a conversation with their sales department as their website won't work with MS Explorer. I had to switch to Firefox in order to place my order. I questioned the lead time and got a real vague "we are trying to improve on it." Don't feel bad Solidoodle is as bad or worse it seems. Must be something to do with the industry.

FYI I know people have mentioned it but I wanted to confirm for everyone that the makerbot store in NYC had Replicator2's in stock(10) as well as just about every filament they sell. I was in the city for business and decided to fill my suitcase with filament to take home. I would have gotten a rep2 but I'm still happy with my rep1XL.

Ordered: October 12th

Shipping info received: December 4th

Rep2 received: December 8th

Ryan:

How did it go? Are you getting some good prints?

[Ryan Gerrish]

I started a new thread with my results, which are decent! As I guessed, little bugs to iron out until I learn what makes it happy, but the successful prints look great. :)

Oct 17 should never have waited so long!

[Chris Pittman]

Still waiting too (Ordered Oct 15) - emailed support on Friday but haven't received a response yet.  Past the 4-6 week lead time outlined when ordered.

its like the later the date the longer the lead time! i would think there would be less and less orders after the initial push....

just called them, they said they are almost finished the 14th getting to 15....

[Bill]

Ordered on the 19th of oct. I called last week and they said they're one week beyond that original 6 week quite. As of today, we're past the 7 week mark.
