Preorder Shipping Update #46
Week of 10/20/21!
Hey besties!
I’m Jimmy from Wyze and I’m back to let you know how progress is going on your preordered items. Let’s get into it!
First, some weekly reminders.
Preorders happen a while before shipments start, so don’t forget that you’ve gotta let us know if you’ve moved since you placed your order!
- Think we’ve got out-of-date information? Contact our support team ASAP ! I’m sure the person that moved in your old place would appreciate the gift, but that’s not what you’re payin’ for.
The dates that you see in these emails are estimates for when devices will start to ship .
- I’ll do my best to get as specific as possible once devices start shipping so you have an idea when your specific order will ship. We’re working on changes behind the scenes to make this experience more personalized in the future.
- After shipping, our partners will work on getting your package to you. Please give about 4-14 business days for your new device(s) to complete their journey.
Not in the contiguous US? If you’re in Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico, it could take up to 2-4 weeks to get your package to you.
Wanna hang out with other Wyze fans? Our communities are a great place to see what’s possible with your Wyze gear (or if you want to stare longingly at photos of products you haven’t received yet). We love new faces, so feel free to join us!
…Now on to the good stuff!
Quick summary.
…Not interested in the nitty gritty?
Here’s a quick look at the changes this week.
A small portion of Wyze Cordless Vacuum accessory orders failed to ship last week. We will be reshipping these by Friday.
Wyze Light Strip (16.4ft) orders have started and finished shipping already! We still plan for 32.8ft orders to start shipping next month.
Wyze Video Doorbell Pro orders are now included in our weekly emails, with an expected ship date in early December.
Note: Preorder shipping estimates will continue to fluctuate due to seaport congestion.
I get it, you’re probably hearing a ton about seaports right now. Us too - the time it takes for any company to receive and process imports that arrive via the ocean has increased dramatically and is now reaching historic highs.
Since this process isn’t controlled by Wyze or the partners that we work directly with, it’s super difficult for us to create accurate estimates until the inventory clears through the port. Sometimes this takes over two months! For now, our only option is to push estimates out a ways to hopefully leave enough time for the employees at the port to process our shipments, and in some cases where we really aren’t sure how long processing will take we may have to abstain from projecting a date for a short period of time. We’ll continue to track this and adjust as needed.
Please keep the hard-working folks at the seaports in your thoughts and bear with us – as always you can expect open and honest communication from me every week along the way.

Wyze Video Doorbell Pro
Shipping is estimated to begin in early December .
LEARN MORE
I’m stoked to announce that our first Pro product is here - meet Wyze Video Doorbell Pro! Tons of you told us in the communities that you were holding out for a wireless doorbell, and I think we nailed it.
You can go wired or wireless with 6-month battery life on this new doorbell, and don’t even get me started on the picture - it’s got an amazing ultrawide view with the highest video quality of any of our cameras thus far. It even has pre-roll support, which means it captures a few seconds before motion is detected when hardwired to make sure you don’t miss the beginning of whatever’s goin’ on.
… Long story long, it’s a real crowd pleaser at a great price (disclaimer: Wyze bought me lunch once), and we’re still taking preorders!
Shipping starts in late November to early December , so don’t wait if you wanna be one of the first to get it!
That’s all for this week!
Thanks for hanging with me for another round of updates! I’ll be back with more next Wednesday.
See ya around, friends!
