Apparently during the interview it was stated that if you order a 5k right now you should get it no later then 3 weeks!! Taken from the link above- “If you order 5K+ now: You should get it no later than 3 weeks. By April, in US it will be a lot faster. You should be able to get it like the day after tomorrow. By May, Pimax 5K+ orders in US will be shipped in one day.” Now may be the time to order if you have not already.

BEWARE BEWARE This is a good promise to sell more 5K+ units with a fast delivery, unfortunately I the accuracy is not there. I ordered and paid for my 5K+ in October 2018 and still don't have a delivery notification. I emailed PIMAX a week ago when I read about this offer and got a vague reply about warehouse problems etc. etc but no forecasted delivery date.

BEWARE BEWARE Yes I’m still even extremely skeptical on it but I seen a post by PimaxUSA on the forums saying “I don’t have any visibility into individual pre-orders but a lot of 5K+ pre-orders are indeed going out. Where are you located?” That was one day ago. Edited February 27, 2019 by A Hamburgler
DDSSTT Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I ordered my 5k+ the first day pre-order was opened, I just got mine on monday. Had the Vive for 2 years, and the Pimax hype is real. Complete might and day difference. If you can afford the 5k+ get it, if not go for the OD+. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/

I’m too excited I cannot wait to get mine(already preorder) and I’m also getting the JetSeat so this should be interesting.

Boris Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 3 weeks or not, ordering now will get you a headset sooner. Be aware that it's VERY performance hungry though.

A Hamburgler Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 3 weeks or not, ordering now will get you a headset sooner. Be aware that it's VERY performance hungry though. You'll really struggle to get acceptable performance in DCS with your 1080 ti. Not worth the price for such a small performance gain in my opinion. I could understand if it was a solid 50% or even 45% performance gain but it’s not.
cordite Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Another early pre-order here, and it still says “unfulfilled”. Though I did put a deposit on the sensor/controller bundle, maybe they’re hoping to ship it together? I’m not too concerned yet. This is one case where later might be better.
DDSSTT Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 What was your preorder number? Did you get a tracking email before it came? I ordered mine on 22 Nov and it shipped from New York and I received the shipping email on Friday the 22nd and it arrived via UPS signature required on Monday the 25th.

Nascar Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I ordered mine on 22 Nov and it shipped from New York and I received the shipping email on Friday the 22nd and it arrived via UPS signature required on Monday the 25th. Well that's some BS. I ordered as soon as the website stopped crashing on me and I am also in NY. You got lucky to have it for the F-14 launch.

Naruto Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) According to VoodooDE VR - He did a video chat with Pimax (19:49) and they said all 5K+ backers have already shipped, 8K backer will have HMDs shipped by end of March as well as all 5K+ preorders will ship by end of March too.

A Hamburgler Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 I have a feeling that most pre orders will arrive in the next couple weeks.
33-DFTC Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I went for a 5K+ when the preorders opened last october and did not received it as well. I tried to get informations from support and never received an answer after several emails in the course of the last three weeks. This morning I went to Paypal to open a dispute and try to get an answer from Pimax, they didn't even bothered answering and I already received a refund … What a great way to make business Pimax !

A Hamburgler Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 The company is still very new and needs to still work out a lot of things. But as far as I can tell they seem to be moving in the right direction by opening warehouses and repair places in other countries like the US which in turn will eventually lead to very fast shipments of HMDs, accessories and replacement parts. That’s the sole reason why I waited so long to pre order because I wanted to see if they were going to workout their logistics.
Buckeye Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I preordered on day one (Oct 27 2018) and my 5K+ arrives today.
