Panzerlang Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) 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. Edited June 2 by Panzerlang 1

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.

javipamp Posted June 6 Posted June 6 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.

TimberWolf Posted June 6 Posted June 6 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. 2 Sim Rig: Intel 12700KF, MSI RTX4090, 32GB DDR4@3200, Quest 3 headset, TM Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswind pedals

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 no 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.

Twwhitey Posted June 11 Posted June 11 I’m reading this as I won’t see my April 2025 pre-order until July at best (somewhat as expected…) https://pimax.com/blogs/blogs/update-on-shipping-option-to-change-to-the-ultrawide Production and shipping timing We are slightly behind the original shipping schedule, for several reasons: Improved measures for our quality control, including a second test for each headset Operational improvements to the factory But most importantly, our production ran into a temporary shortage of the 3840 x 3840 QLED panels required for the Crystal Super 50 PPD, 57 PPD QLED, and Ultrawide The Crystal Super combines hundreds of parts, from different suppliers and manufacturers who collaborate with Pimax. Any shortage in parts brings delays to the entire production. For the panels used in the Super, we adhere to the highest standards. The QLED panels used are 1500 pixels per inch, the highest of any LCD panel on the market, and we specifically designed our glass aspheric lenses to show all the details on the panel, which is why any imperfection on the panel will show for the user. Because of this, we strictly adhere to grade 1 panel quality (more about this here). Yet our QLED panel supplier has mentioned low production yields due to manufacturing complexity. This caused a panel shortage that slightly delayed our production. So for a period of time, we produced Crystal Super's at a lower pace than we expected. That said: We are still confident of shipping most 50 PPD QLED pre-orders from before May 2025, in the month of June, or early July. For this we're doing everything to speed up production. Pimax owns three factories, one for optical stacks, one for the Crystal Light, and one for the Crystal Super. We are now also temporarily halting production on the Crystal Light to assist with the production of the Crystal Super. This means we're quickly catching up on the delay of the Crystal Super production. We're also continueing work on the weekends to ensure a higher production speed, while still keeping quality checks in place. 1 i9-9900K @ 5.0GHz, ASUS ROG Z390 MAXIMUS XI HERO, ASUS GeForce RTX 2080Ti 11GB, 32GB DDR4 @ 3866MHZ, 1TB Intel 660P M.2 NVMe SSD, 1TB WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD, Oculus Rift S
Jabo299 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I made a reservation for the Pimax Crystal Super in august and pre ordered it in november. Now this week I received the adress confirmation. I hope it will be here soon. 1 2
Gun Jam Posted June 17 Posted June 17 This is looking is a bit slower than expected and I had pretty realistic expectations (I think). I was figuring around Aug for non preorders (like something placed in early may) This seems quite optimistic at this point oct/ nov is probably a safer bet. The Somnium team did a good job of allowing individuals to ride along in the development process and watch as the prototypes moved into production phase and got beat up all along the way by reality. I probably have a bit better understanding of product development than the average person and am quite aware of dev team expectations vs reality and I was very appreciative of the Somnium team to provide as much dev info as they did. It was actually quite interesting to follow along in this process. Im assuming there is nothing like this on the pimax discord correct? Thanks!
