Depending on staffing changes possible in the future, at least 8 months is a guess.

I received mine yesterday after ordering on the 2nd Feb last year.

Unless something more drastic occurs, at this point you’re looking at 14-16 mos.

Serious recommendation: submit your order then proceed to forget that happened.

Hi, do you pay the full price (plus tax + shipping) then wait?

Sorry, for this silly question, I want to have a Decware product but don't know how the order process work.

From what I gather, Decware has hired one more tech which has increased shipping by about 20%.  At about 50 orders shipped per month, you'd be looking at least a 20 month wait, perhaps longer unless more qualified techs are found.

The 8 to 12 month estimate is wildly incorrect.

In the world of Decware, you can't look at which order dates are shipping now and then accurately estimate what the wait times going forward will be.  For instance, the late February 2021 orders are currently shipping.  By that incorrect logic you'd conclude that the wait is about a year.

But the truth is that from March onward, thanks to a run of great reviews, the rate of orders per month has gone up dramatically while production rates have not nearly kept up with that new demand.  And it's for that reason that you're currently looking at nearly a 2 year wait.

Decware can't scale because there's only one Steve.

I ordered on March 1, 2021.  My order will ship at about the one year mark.  But the order was luckily placed before the dramatic increase in orders over the spring and summer of 2021.  

MikeInMontana,

The way to accurately calculate approximate shipping months, is to take how many orders are in front of you and divide by how many orders are shipped per month.  To calculate monthly ship rates, write down your waitlist position today, and check back in 3 months. See how far you’ve moved from up and divide by 3. That gives you the ship rate.  Divide your waitlist position by that ship rate number.

I used that formula last summer to predict a mid February 2022 ship date.  It will be exactly that.

Blessings on all fronts, HiFi and health (I assume you aren’t in the witness protection program and hiding from the mob in Montana)

I don't know, with this and some of the other threads about wait times -- and the impression I'm getting that the number of comments  is compounding each month -- I almost have this queasy feeling that some kind of queue apocalypse may hit any time.

People start selling places in the queue using Bitcoin. Bitcoin immediately doubles in value.

I order an amp after calculating my wait, next morning I discover it's already 4 months longer. Next day 6 months, etc.

Looking at the "real time" list starts noclipping random people into the Backrooms. Their orders disappear from the list...forever.

Thanks to a fortuitous soldering accident, Steve stumbles across a circuit configuration that eliminates wiring entirely and causes even the cheapest components to produce face-melting sound. He decides to OPTIMIZE the circuit.

I swear, I'm starting to wonder where this could lead...something's got to give

This exact same thing occurred to me way, long, ago, and that is really WEIRD. Another sign of the End Days.

Maybe what we really need is a fund to teach E. Peoria HS students to solder.

July is very very optimistic…

They seem to be shipping about 45 per month.  At #150, May is look realistic, maybe sooner....  My March 1 order just shipped today.

Decware gave me a consolation prize …The incredible Lii Audio F-15 and it does sound like my Belles that regretfully I sold just a few years ago. Robinson is right !!

does anybody know if a place in the que can be transferred to someone else?

thanks

Leonard,

Is that a Pass lab amp? Bet your F15's sound great.

I am currently in the mid 500s on the waiting list and was added to the list one year ago.
