Time of completion?

Hey so I just ordered a Tower yesterday. I know there are 7 stages and usually stage 1 is the longest. Anyone that has had previous experience and history know by when I should receive the tower? I’m hoping for by last week of August since it saids about 6 weeks to ship. Although I’ve seen people wait up to 19 business days just for stage 1. I know depending on parts it might take longer but I don’t have anything too crazy.

its hard to predict the progression now. I ordered 5/20 and waited 40 days before movement finally came. But they were dealing with obstacles that are being/have been over come with covid staffing issues, and covid supply chain/inventory problems. I've personally witnessed a significantly visible surge in progress just from these forums and testimony from the people who post here. but this has been my progress on a custom lumos, 3191392

Stage 1: 5.20
40 days
Stage 2: 6.29
3 days
Stage 3: 7.2
6 days
Stage 4: 7.8

Saids stage 1 -5-10 business days but I guess that’s not gonna happen lol

I've been on stage 3 for 3 weeks now, despite it saying 1-3 business days so the day estimation is definitely off it looks like. It's unfortunate but nothing can be done.

I think when it updates it’s gonna be at like stage 5 or 6 cause I’ve seen sometimes where it doesn’t update for a while after estimated date and it goes up 2-4 stages. I would call. Like I’m gonna call if stage 1 takes longer than 10 days to see where it’s at.

Well if it goes past the estimated shipping date, I will probably email or call to ask for an update. But hopefully that won't be necessary

Originally posted by Nav I saw your order has the 10850K on there, that CPU we will get in stock early-mid August.

Oh what no no no can you change it back to a 10900k then because the guy told me the 10850k were in stock and was not sure of the 10900k.

The 10900K has a longer delay than the 10850K currently.

I don’t understand, Alex told me last week that you guys would get more early this week.

Originally posted by chrisdel1234 Originally posted by Nav The 10900K has a longer delay than the 10850K currently. Also you’re saying you guys will get more 10850k in early to mid August but the guy on the phone said they were in stock, so who’s telling the truth cause now I feel like I’m just being told what I want to hear.

You should call to make sure again when they open up. That's odd that there would be miscommunication like that.

Originally posted by chrisdel1234 I have no idea who’s telling the truth anymore.

Talk to Alex. He'll always give you the straight answer.

I'd be willing to bet that 10900k is coming in this week, but someone didnt realize that you're possibly too far behind in the queue to benefit from that shipment. Perhaps the stock will be used completely before they reach your build, making you wait even longer.

If you originally placed your order with a 10900K BEFORE we added the 10850K to the website, your 10900K was allocated.

Please contact our sales team to have your config changed back to the 10900K if you'd like that processor still.

I called. Said I ordered before 850k was on website , so should be an allocation for me, he said not sure and that it would come in August. Said I should stay with 850k so I am,


I don’t know what to think or say, close to asking for refund but ima just let it go and hope to see a PC in August.

Originally posted by Nav Edit: Cleared it up with the representative that provided you the information. Would you like to go back with the 10900K? If so I can change for you.

Yes please since it was originally allocated for me and I made my order before the 850ks were on the website

So rest of team is aware of 10900K vs 10850K swap. Your order was changed back to 10900K.
