Priority Build

I have looked at several different machines and I don't see any that offer a Priority Build. I think the corona virus has created component shortages. I ordered my machine on 3/22 and it is just at stage 4 as of today.

Anybody have an opinion regarding whether it’s worth it to wait 2 months for this system?

As long as you’re not in any type of rush to get a PC then yes. Ordered mine April 09 I’m on stage 4 now. I wanted to priority build mine aswell but like stated before I think the covid pandemic has everything back ordered or just going slower then usual to lack of workers. It’ll all be worth it though in the end.

I ordered a custom built lumos the expected time of shipping is 6 weeks not including weekends so my order is actually on time

I absolutely respect the people who are out there working day to day, however as someone stated, they are still suggesting delivery times are 10-15 days, which clearly isn’t the case, but is however, 100% understandable and forgivable. I simply wish they were a bit more upfront about quite how much things are being slowed down, so I could have made a more informed decision. I am ECSTATIC to receive my Digital Storm PC, and am willing to wait for it, but was simply asking if it IS worth the wait from people who would know. Please don’t misinterpret my frustration with waiting as frustration with the hard working individuals fulfilling my order.

Actually, Pthree0714, they ARE meeting the 10-15 business days, in most cases. You just don't hear about all the orders that are filled on time on this Forum, and why would you? That time frame is ONLY on the Lynx partially built models; the custom builds are 6 weeks.

The reason almost everyone spends so much time in Stage 1, is that's where the line starts to wait for your turn to begin assembly. No doubt the length of that line changes every day, and unpredictably. Then when assembly is complete, they stress-test your build for 24 hours to make sure everything works together properly. Sometimes those tests fail, and the build is UNEXPECTEDLY delayed. The line gets held up a bit.

Management has visited our Forum several times recently to explain they just don't have spare bodies to stay on top of the stage updates. I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for your understanding. It's always hard to wait, but worth it in the end!
