Has anyone bought a new Shuffle Tech ST-1000 in 2024? (2 Viewers)

[LovNapkinz]

It looks like the website is perpetually on 4-5 week backorder. Has anyone bought one and had their product shipped in that 4-5 week time frame? Or are they unable to satisfy new orders as of late? I would imagine that if they were waiting on a bulk order from their manufacturer, then the backorder time frame would have gone down recently, instead of staying the same. Or perhaps even increased in case there were complications. I guess it's possible that the rate at which they are getting new orders is exactly the rate at which they are able to satisfy them, making the backorder window stay the same, but that seems unlikely. It just seems weird the backorder time frame has stayed the same for quite a while.

Friday will be the 4 week mark since my order. Will update when (if?) I get shipping notification.

 

[LovNapkinz]

I really am curious where the 4-5 week delay comes from..maybe they build each to order and it takes 4-5 weeks to come from the factory? Seems like a very suboptimal way to do it if that's the case...

An Australian vendor is expecting to get a batch of ST1000 units delivered in Late May/Early June after a looooooong time waiting. Their educated guesstimate is production troubles.

Which one? Jacks?

Which one? Jacks?

Yeah Jacks. Small batch for the entire country since it seems no other vendor has had any interest in importing them.

Entire world! I have ordered from them before

U ordered a shuffler from AU?

 

[divinerites]

1 month ago i requested a quote. They where expecting a new batch and they re-contacted me : 1 was available to purchase.

But I already got @cpac54 one.

So i guess they receive a small batch from time to time, sold immediately. Reason why it is always on back order.

I’d hope that there’s more batches going out than just Jacks’. If not I’ll have to pre-order to get ahead of the desperate international shoppers.

Tough supply in these hobbies. I waited 6 months for a restock on Dal Negro roulette wheels a while back and the batch had a grand total of 3 units. Gone in a flash. Pre-ordering was vital.

No, but I might I have ordered other products from them like their awesome Viper case

Those cases are brilliant. I stuck travel locks on the two I’ve got for hosting at other people’s places.

When I unlock them to set up starting stacks for tourneys they get plenty of wows from the newbies. Beats racks for sure.

Chip at shuffle tech told me that there are a number of orders shipping/to be shipped right now. And since Jack's in Auz says they are expecting ST-1000s to be back in stock on the 24th, it seems to be likely that orders are actually being fulfilled.

@Danny_Banana have you gotten a shipping notification yet?

 

[Danny_Banana]

I have not. My order was placed on Apr 5th, so hopefully it'll ship this week.

 

[Danny_Banana]

I just talked to chip and was told there was some parts delayed, so I'm looking at at least another 1-2 weeks

Placed my order on April 5th.

Sorry to hear, but this is good to know as it's the next item on my quest of home game poker nirvana.

@Danny_Banana I ordered on the 3rd and just got the UPS Ship notification now

Sorry for ambiguity. April 3rd, shortly before you ordered.

Well, here's hoping mine ships soon too. Congrats on yours finally being on its way

 

[Dread_Pirate_Roberts]

I ordered mine March 6th - received it on May 8th, so that was 9 weeks. For order to SF Bay Area, California.

 

[Danny_Banana]

Just got mine in. one day shy of 8 weeks on the dot.

What's the good, The bad, the ugly?

What's the good, The bad, the ugly?

It is a bit loud, but still within tolerable levels. Used it for a full 4 hour single table tournament, it started trying to jam a bit towards the end, but never fully jammed. I cleaned the cards and rollers, and it's back to normal. And if anyone is wondering, it works great with my custom cards from makeplayingcards.com

Are these worth getting?

Yes if you want to afford it
