Pimax Super, order and delivery dates, please post.

[Panzerlang]

I thought it would be useful to see how long it's taking for people's orders to be fulfilled, so if you've had yours delivered, please put the order date and delivery date.

Mine, ordered 20th Dec 2024. No shipping notification as of yet.

12 Feb 25 - forecast June/July?

Mid April 25 order - They said delivery expected at June but we all know that ain't happening. Knowing Pimax, I'd expect mine to show up end of Summer.

I ordered my super on 28th april 25, we are in the same boat, atm I’m still wondering if the ultrawide is a better choice

I am guessing not. Remember: It is known that time and time again, Pimax lies about their FOV numbers. OG Crystal supposedly had 115HFOV (when it reality it has more like 105) they originally advertised the Super 50ppd as having 135HFOV when in truth it's closer to 125, so I would assume that the Ultrawide will have barely a few degrees more for an optical engine that will take even longer to be delivered and with compromised binocular overlap. Again this is just a guess but I think it's better to wait for user reviews - NOT affiliate reviews. Honest user reviews take much longer to show up but are a better representation than the dozens of usual first YouTubers that Pimax compensates.

Same. Ordered April 21st 2025 and was told June was the expected delivery date… haven’t heard a peep so I’m not optimistic at this stage..

Ordered 1 Oct 2024...only received the emails indicating late June 25.  Don't know where I am on the waiting list, if "first buy-first served".

I preordered in December and nothing yet. I spoke with Pimax and they told me end of May of June and I think that they are not saying the truth. I have bought in Pimax before and they are making the same mistake with shipments: delaying, delaying and trying to accept more preorders. They should make more stock before accepting more orders.

Be patient. Christmas.

I reserved one in late July, 2024 and pre-ordered in November. I received an email asking for address confirmation on May 7. Usually it ships a few days after you confirm your mailing address, but it is now a full month and I have not received any shipping confirmation. I've heard that some who reserved in May have recently received theirs.

So at this rate, if you hadn't reserved one, then you will be lucky to receive one this year.

Yup, I have to agree. Based on experience and Pimax's history (and other businesses too), it is important to decipher their 'marketing speak'.

When I placed my order in April, Jaap said in an official video that 'orders placed then are expected start shipping in June'.

Translation:

We have no idea when we will ship, but it will be nowhere near any reasonable time frame, therefore in order to not scare away buyers and keep the cash flow going, let's say June. This way, we can keep stalling when buyers ask for estimations - and people will keep their orders thinking their order is just a couple weeks/months away.

Seriously guys, this has happened over and over and over again with Pimax. Given their repeated history, there is reason to take their words in any literal sense or expect any kind of transparency. They've done this several times with pre-orders going back years and plenty of people (like me) put up with it and keep pre-ordering, so it'd be foolish to expect otherwise.

If you want to help break this cycle, do not buy unless it's readily available for shipping. I just kept my order because I can't wait a second longer for something that doesn't have the claustrophobic 100 HFOV like every other headset. After that, hopefully I won't be in the the pre-order train again for the next gen.

td;dr, disregard Pimax's proven lies. It will be shipped when it will be shipped. Sit and wait.
