Pimax, it's time to ship ALL remaining backers base stations

Received mine today.

Thanks Pimax!

Got mine today. Well packed and all parts intact. Works fine except for the bullcrap we were fed about 1 base 360 tracking capability in the KS. No surprise there but given the price increase since the KS, I wish I’d ordered a bunch of them.
Was funny that Fedex delivered someone else’s parcel at first, but did return 10 minutes later to correct.

I got my 2x 2.0 base stations. Also wish I’d have ordered more =P
The packaging was a little sketchy, but they both worked.

Someone else’s parcel, with 4 basestations :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Were you charged any tax/duty?

I have received mines today too. I was charged 31€ import tax.
Unofficial packaging but well protected, with thick foam on top and bottom and air cushion around the base station.

Not sure on using for full 360 but @neal_white_iii is using a single for sims. I do recall when they demoed 1 LH i think during the LA backer meet? It had mixed results similar to Nolo.

No extra charges? :thinking:

None whatsoever. Seems Pimax just ships Fedex to Canada regardless. Should not have been anyway as I paid during KS.
I suspect that they didn’t want to ship snail mail to make sure parcel wasn’t damaged on route.

Interesting as Fedex dinged me for Taxes and admin fee. However ypu said only 1 LH vs 4.

That seems likely why. Over $200 in value. Did you opt for express?

No express. Was originally going to ship CN post like my headsets did(which paid zero). I suspect the CN route having too many delays as it switched to fedex.

I ordered a drone couple of years back that travelled snail mail to west coast and across Canada (took a month), but no duty or taxes there either, Was less than $130 bucks.

@dogbite Let me know if still interested in swapping my 1.0 for your 2.0 basestation.

Actually, I have an interested party for my Vive full kit and another for my Rift kit so I’m thinking of buying a 2nd V2 base (sorry I didn’t order 2 on the KS now) when Valve gets them back in stock and selling off the first gen stuff.
Sorry if I got your hopes up but further consideration and this dam hobby’s thirst for constant upgrading has had me considering future investment. Hope you understand.

No worries it’s all good. I’m fine with 2 myself, as they have great tracking. Was just a convenient way to match up BS types for us both if you had gone for the offer.

Dear PimaxQuorra,
Since I opened a ticket # 2701 because of my kickstarter base station 15 days ago, it has been “in progress”. No tracking number or other messages…

Heads up for anyone not yet charged by Fedex, 1.5 months after delivery (express delivery within 11days) Fedex sent me a bill by mail for $23 CAD.

No tracking number or other information here. No response to my new ticket about bs.

@PimaxQuorra Rearranged waiting list and list of solved cases in first post for better clarity. I try to keep those lists daily updated (using users’ feedbacks from this post but also from other single cases posts).

@Tess Could you maybe also help solving the remaining unshipped base stations listed here ? See red waiting list in the first post (some cases can also be stuck China Post shipments). You can also recoup the first post waiting list with datas from the googledoc just above (this doc is updated by backers/customers themselves).
