Preorder Shipping Update #48
Week of 11/3/21!
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 to 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- Think we’ve got out-of-date information?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.
Wyze Night Light orders have finished shipping.
Wyze Cordless Vacuum has been removed as all preorders have finished shipping.
Wyze Light Strip (32.8 ft) orders should now start shipping by 11/5 due to technical difficulties.
Wyze Car and Wyze Watch 47mm C have been added to the weekly emails.
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.
