I'm not being funny but we've had some Aussies in here receiving their shipments from local distributors, and a chap from South Africa also receiving his Penrose already (not sure if direct or distributor?)...
California,USA to Australia - 8,128 miles
California, USA to South Africa - 10,238 miles
California,USA to UK - 5,037 miles
I'm not saying UK should be a priority, but if Audeze had actually shipped to European shores, how the hell are countries like Aus and SA getting stock to distributors beforehand? Aus even has a very stringent border/customs policy, so I would assume the products take longer to clear their customs. Surely being half the distance it should take half as long to arrive, particularly since Audeze committed to 'expedited shipping' to help get products to customers as soon as possible?
Here I was excited to receive the product this week, a product I ordered back on day 2 of pre-orders, that's now been in the wild for almost a month, and still looking no closer to getting it.
