Ordering & Shipping
Where to purchase?
Currently your best bet is directly from Retroid at https://www.goretroid.com/
Aliexpress and Amazon should be arriving soon. Ebay may have units for sale at an increased cost.
Current Shipping Info:
Beta batch: If you ordered (only) a Yellow, Blue or Pink console before the 7th of August, it should have already shipped. Batch 1 (flawed sticks) stopped shipping by Aug 25th.
Batch 1: If you ordered an Indigo, 16-Bit, or Retro (DMG) unit between August 3rd and August 28th, or a Yellow, Blue, or Pink unit between August 8th and August 28th, these orders are currently shipping, and you should receive your shipping notification by the 17th of September by the latest.
Batch 2: If you ordered anything on the 29th of August or after, your orders will START shipping on the 25th of September, and may take a week or so before it is shipped.
The round time for shipping (4PX or DHL) seems to be around 2-3 weeks average. (Though this could be as little as 1 week, and as much as a month based on existing data.)
To see if the DHL upgrade is worth it to your location please refer to the website: https://www.trackingmore.com/ and compare the average times to deliver for 4PX and DHL from Shenzhen to your City.(edited)
Right stick fix: add 2 tiny pieces of paper under joystick for smoother movement (if ordered from 1st batch)
