Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .

In July the 7th I ordered the new Technics SL-1210 AEG anniversary edition from an authorized dealer . ( and paid for it )They said I could have it at the end of July, later they moved the date for mid August , and again the delivery was moved to the end of August.  Today, I got  a message saying :  “We just received notification that Technics pushed the delivery of the SL-1210GAE turntable to the end of September.”Does anyone know if that is accurate?  any useful information?

Hey Chak, Lew is correct, I get packages from Japan either DHL or FedEx within 3 to 4 days, faster than from the West coast. Japan post yes it will take forever or won't ship to the US. The delayed from Technics in producing these units is really puzzling.

I wouldn’t worry @vinylnostalgic. It’s not a Technics problem but a covid/normal mail shipping issue. You're gonna love that table, if you ever get it. Speedy express is open for business but they’re not going to send it via bullet mail like Russian.

Yeah I get it Lew, the delay most likely due to filling demand at Asian markets first.
All I was saying is that it amazes me how fast (even with covid) delivery is from Japan to the US

I’m talking about Japan Post, not overpriced DHL or Fedex (their prices are insane). If someone will ship 100 turntables with DHL or Fedex it’s hard to imagine the final price for distributor and customers.

Japan post (or EMS) is not available at the moment from Japan to USA.
