              @superforever: Yeah, I think the date is very over cautious.
              Maybe yours has shipped and they havent updated it? We'll see Monday I guess - fingers crossed for ya!

      • RichardMelbourne on 22/09/2021 - 10:12

        Mine now has an ETA (30 Sep - 4 Oct), but no tracking (doesn't appear to have been shipped, yet).

        • RichardMelbourne on 23/09/2021 - 09:16

          Mine's now changed to "Arriving 1 Oct - 10 Dec", and still hasn't actually been sent.

          • RichardMelbourne on 23/09/2021 - 09:29

            @RichardMelbourne: Amazon chat said that apparently the drum kit has now changed to "sold & fulfilled by Amazon AU", due to stock issues.

        • nzcoops on 23/09/2021 - 16:51

          Where are you seeing this out of interest, as in, where on the page?

          Mine still says "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." when I click the yellow 'Track package' button, and (before clicking that) above the thumbnail of the drums on the Order details page it says 'Not yet shipped'.

    • woodlake on 30/09/2021 - 19:00

      Mine arrived in Perth on Friday (24th), but being a public holiday Monday it wasn't delivered until Tuesday. Haven't had a chance to open it up yet.
      It was shipped with just a label on the box - no Amazon packaging. Had a couple of gouges on the box, but the contents look to be intact.
      Hopefully they get more stock in soon so that everyone else can get theirs.

      • superforever on 30/09/2021 - 20:47

        You must have ordered it very early.

        • woodlake on 30/09/2021 - 20:50

          It was actually quite late in the day on the 2nd. Not sure why I got chosen for delivery - random luck I guess.

      • RichardMelbourne on 30/09/2021 - 23:15

        Definitely lucky. Make sure you play them and don't let them sit gathering dust. Next Stewart Copeland, Keith Moon, Roger Taylor, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins 😉

      • RichardMelbourne on 05/10/2021 - 15:38

        I just received a shipment email: ETA now 19 October.

        • woodlake on 05/10/2021 - 23:30

          Awesome! Hopefully that will come forward once it has shipped.
          I managed to set mine up, but haven't played yet as the power supply only comes with a UK or EU push in adapter. I think you can get a UK to AU adapter at Bunnings for around $5. I will say that it was very well packaged with every item in its own labelled box. It took about an hour to get it all unboxed and set up.

        • clartan2015 on 06/10/2021 - 00:10

          Just receivwd update too. Oct20

        • RichardMelbourne on 18/10/2021 - 21:07

          Mine just arrived today! Woohoo!!! But I'll have to wait until the weekend 'cos I'm snowed at work 😡

  • blackpizza on 22/09/2021 - 14:05

    You guys are getting delivery dates?! Mine is still pending that info……:(

      Contact Amazon support and ask them - if you've never done it before, I gave instructions further up.

      • clartan2015 on 22/09/2021 - 15:24

        i've been contacting support like every other day and im getting the same response, no stock and pending fulfillment.. =(

      • blackpizza on 22/09/2021 - 15:50

        Thanks! i contacted amazon, they are still waiting for the product,…. I will just wait then,

        • clartan2015 on 23/09/2021 - 10:37

          finally got update on the order - Arriving 1 October - 9 December

          • RichardMelbourne on 23/09/2021 - 10:41

            @clartan2015: Has it actually shipped yet, though?

            • clartan2015 on 23/09/2021 - 10:56

              @RichardMelbourne: no

            • blackpizza on 23/09/2021 - 11:00

              @RichardMelbourne: I got a delivery date now! December 8 ……wow

              • RichardMelbourne on 23/09/2021 - 11:05

                @blackpizza: Same question: has it actually shipped? Just asking because I have a date (which has changed) but still not shipped, yet

                • blackpizza on 23/09/2021 - 13:15

                  @RichardMelbourne: No not yet shipped. i just realized that estimate delivery is 3 months away, im considering cancelling it……

                  • superforever on 23/09/2021 - 13:53

                    @blackpizza: It got updated to Arriving 1 Oct - 9 Dec

                  • woodlake on 23/09/2021 - 14:23

                    @blackpizza: …and yet it still says "in stock" and delivery by 4-6 Oct (and has not been OOS since the deal)?

                    • RichardMelbourne on 23/09/2021 - 15:00

                      @woodlake: I was told that the reason for this is that now it's sold and fulfilled by Amazon AU - which doesn't make sense seeing as the page shows Amazon UK, but that's what the chat support person said…

                      • woodlake on 23/09/2021 - 16:35

                        @RichardMelbourne: Your right - it does say "ships from and sold by Amazon AU" now. I see its also been updated to "usually dispatched within 2-4 weeks". Hopefully that means everyone gets it sooner rather than later then.

                        • RichardMelbourne on 23/09/2021 - 16:45
                          +1

                          @woodlake: I said that exact thing to Amazon Support and they said no, because ours are coming from Amazon UK, and I said that this doesn't seem fair as it's Amazon…

                          • nzcoops on 23/09/2021 - 16:53

                            @RichardMelbourne: Guessing all of you have had your cc charged now (as in, today) following this action?

      meh. i just cancelled mine was still in no shipping date status whatever.

  • adhin on 28/09/2021 - 11:21

    I spoke with Amazon this morning and was given an ETA of November 12.

    • nzcoops on 28/09/2021 - 13:33

      But you haven't been charged yet? Or had an update on your amazon order page right?

      • adhin on 28/09/2021 - 14:17

        I paid with a gift card. Correct, no update on the order page/tracking.

    • adhin on 09/10/2021 - 17:18

      Dispatched today! ETA Oct 24. (Regional VIC).

    • RichardMelbourne on 29/09/2021 - 08:54

      Nice! What's your ETA?

    • clartan2015 on 29/09/2021 - 09:36

      I got charged too last night. ETA still is Oct1 - Dec9

    • RichardMelbourne on 29/09/2021 - 10:33

      Just seen that I've been charged as well - but still not actually shipped, yet.

    • superforever on 29/09/2021 - 11:28

      Same charged no longer allow me to add additional gift card.

    • RichardMelbourne on 30/09/2021 - 23:13

      Just realised that the transaction is still showing as pending, on my credit card (but still hasn't shipped yet)

      • PorkHunt on 10/10/2021 - 10:27

        Mines now arriving 22/10

    I havent been charged yet……

    • augernised on 30/09/2021 - 14:33

      Me either, no charge or shipping date. Also contacted support 2 days ago who said since its sold by UK Amazon they can only email them and ask for an update (got nothing yet)

  • blackpizza on 30/09/2021 - 14:52

    I think they want us to cancel the order……..

  • nzcoops on 06/10/2021 - 13:50

    It's bizarre that Amazon let them continue to list this as for sale AND in stock, when there are literally hundreds of orders than haven't shipped in >1 month. Not really a confidence builder that one.

    • mickeyjuiceman on 06/10/2021 - 13:53

      Amazon doesn't LET them, it literally IS Amazon doing it.

        Ah yeah good point. Had my threads crossed thinking it was a different seller on this one.

  • jobski on 08/10/2021 - 23:54

    Just got charged and my order now says preparing.

    • nzcoops on 09/10/2021 - 15:08

      Also charged yesterday and preparing for shipping (and another mate who got it same day).

  • woodyagw on 09/10/2021 - 15:52

    Tried to get an update out if Amazon and was told that reason it hasn't shipped is they are unable to ship to Australia. I told them that I could still order the same item from the same seller with no issues with shipping. After much back and forth resolution was to cancel current order and reorder at 200 more.
    I told them this was not acceptable and was essentially baiting and switching. After escalating to 2 supervisors above solution was the only way forward and Amazon would refund the difference when it arrives…. Will see how much I have to hassle them for the refund….

    • mickeyjuiceman on 09/10/2021 - 16:07

      Everyone else's orders are eventually shipping, why not just leave it and see what happens? It's not like this is a stellar kit that can't be obtained elsewhere.

    • superforever on 09/10/2021 - 16:29

      You didn't read our orders shipped?

    • bxpressiv on 09/10/2021 - 16:38

      Have had zero issues with Amazon keeping their word- I've had the same thing happen, I guess they can't process the refund until it's delivered or something?

    • augernised on 10/10/2021 - 14:14

      They can't ship to Australia, yet they can when you pay another 200?

      My order still has no update but I'm not going anywhere, people are posting updates every few days so I'm confident they're just working through the queue

  • bargdebarg on 09/10/2021 - 18:20

    Finally! The money has been taken with shipping details pending

    • bargdebarg on 21/10/2021 - 18:36

    Mine just arrived today (Monday) to Melbourne. It was sent from the UK last Wednesday. I can see mine was one of 311 kits received into Amazon, according to the sticker on the box, so perhaps a few more will ship to other Ozb buyers. I received a shipping ETA a day or two after chatting to online support.

    • RichardMelbourne on 11/10/2021 - 14:00

  • delete127 on 12/10/2021 - 17:54

    Got my shipping notification 4 days ago, received it today (Sydney)

    • augernised on 13/10/2021 - 15:53

      This gets me excited, I'm Sydney too. How did this differ from the estimates?

      Amazon gave me 13 days, I woke up to the DHL notification this morning that said 7

      • mickeyjuiceman on 13/10/2021 - 16:04

        Amazon is being VERY cautious with delivery times over the past couple of months especially.

      • delete127 on 13/10/2021 - 16:09
        +1

        Amazon gave me 13 days as well, and it ended up taking 5. DHL didn't give an estimate, just a notification in the morning that they'd be delivering that day. I hope yours arrives early too!

      • Willy62 on 14/10/2021 - 09:55
        +1

        Mine was shipped on the Wednesday and arrived on the Monday. It was scheduled for a Sunday delivery. At that rate, it is faster than local delivery, especially with the AusPost delays most retailers are seeing.

  • Willy62 on 13/10/2021 - 09:19

    Once you get it set up, there are a few things that likely need fixing based on having it for a few days now:

    • Be sure to angle the snare in particular towards you. The rims are really high and every shot becomes a rimshot if it is flat (for me anyway)
    • The kick pedal was too tight and needed to be loosened. You have to pull down the bottom nut to loosen it. It still isnt great and may need a better quality kicker (or double kicker)
    • The bass drum doesn't come through like what is heard when the button on the console is pressed. There are some settings to adjust for this but haven't got it just right yet. I used to play 20 years ago on an acoustic and I am struggling to adjust to this kits feel a little, particularly the kick pedal. The hi hats work really well though.
    • The play through microphone jacks are picky. I haven't found the right 3.5 cables to get it sounding correctly without crackles and only one channel. Avoiding play through at the moment and just having music play through from behind me and some computer speaker play the drum kit in front of me.
    • The layout on the rack takes a little getting right. Still adjusting. It provides lots of options, but the instructions dont really help in this regard.

    There are a range of YouTube videos and reddit posts that help out with the kit.

    • RichardMelbourne on 13/10/2021 - 09:25

      Mine is still stuck in Singapore at the moment, but that's great advice - thanks!

    • mickeyjuiceman on 13/10/2021 - 09:29

      having any issues with the height of the rack? A lot of people complain that the kit sits too low

      • Willy62 on 13/10/2021 - 12:30
        +1

        I have a low chair/stool, so it is ok. It is relatively small in terms of size of the snare and toms and doesn't take up as much room as I expected. YMMV. Note that it is also fairly light so may move around a little and twist from the original position depending on the floor type.
