Tangential: Did anyone order from Ameridroid and actually get a VisionFive 2 promptly? I ordered back in February. I got the shipping insurance but that insurance still just says "order received; unable to process a claim yet." Are they just backlogged or have I been bamboozled?

Mine from waveshare was delivered within two weeks of ordering, in late January/early February.

Today there's several shops offering them, including many options in aliexpress.

Neither actually. I ordered a fully specced one in February as well. I been successful with purchasing from Ameridroid in the past; an Odroid N2 I had ordered came really quickly. It looks like the manufacturer wants customer data (https://snipboard.io/CE7SIM.jpg) and Ameridroid doesn't want to comply. I decided to keep my order in to support their efforts.

Hello, This is Brandon!

We were having issues with the manufacturer but luckily we have been able to deal with those without compromising our customers data. We were supposed to receive all the boards that we needed to fulfill all pre-orders, but the manufacturer sent us just half of the items. We have already started shipping the ones that we received this week, we are hoping to continue to fulfill those during this week and receive the reminder of boards in the next few weeks.

If you want to check the status of your particular order please email us to [email protected] and I will be happy to check that out for you.
