Q: When does Schiit NOT happen?
A: When you try to order a Schiit Mjolnir 2 amp!

You should know that if you order the Schiit Mjolnir 2 amp, you will see it shown as “backordered,” with a shipping date that at this writing is two weeks out, i.e., week of March 6.

If your experience is like mine, once you get within days of that date, the delivery date will be whisked away from you by another two weeks. You will not be told this... you will have to look at the web listing for the Mjolnir 2 to see that the backordered receded by a week or two, which you can confirm by signing in and looking at your individual order’s (new) delivery date.

There is no explanatory email sent, you are left to find the delay yourself.

And it happens repeatedly. When I ordered on December 27, the date had just moved from week of December 29 to week of January 22. Then when I was within a week or so of January 22, the date moved out to week of February 15. Then when I was a week or so from that date, the shipping date moved out to week of February 22.

Now, one day before February 22, it has moved out to week of March 6.

The Schiit Director of Operations informs me that they have been deploying their limited production facilities to products for which they sell more units, including the Magni 3. They don’t really sell that many Mjolnir 2s.

I feel like this poor donkey trying to get the carrot! I understand that Schiit is considering renaming the Mjolnir to the “Mirage.”

I am a Schiit loyalist and have bought a number of pcs. from them but I must say that is terrible. If you ordered in Dec. , and still don't have it and they haven't updated you that really sucks.

Maybe an update to Mjolnir is in the works...

From what I understand, Mjolnir 2s are (finally) on the line, but if you'd like to talk to the person who really knows, I'd ask @Alex Martin here--he can give you an accurate update.

YAYYYYY!!!!

Or just send an email to info@schiit.com I have never failed to get a quick reply to my questions.

I can vouch for this amp being worth the wait.

I have indeed sent emails to info@schiit, as well as orders@schiit. I get great info promptly, but so far it had not led to getting a Mjolnir 2 amp promptly. But now...

I am Eagerly Awaiting seeing a charge for my Mjolnir 2 appear on my credit card, as Schiit quite honorably does not charge for something until they ship it, no matter how long ago you ordered it.

So basically you are complaining that you are not getting instant gratification?

EXACTLY! I ordered the Mjolnir 2 on Dec. 27, 2017 and they were showing it as backordered with shipping scheduled the week of January 29, 2018. There were several slips, with the current shipping estimate being week of March 6, or 6 weeks after the original promised date (and 10 weeks after the order date). Instant Gratification Indeed!

^^ Thanks for being a good sport about my ribbing.

It's the "Amazon Syndrome". There is a lot of it going around.

Schiit, as a company, is about as far removed from Amazon as possible. I mean that in the best possible way.

Thank you sir for the update

I am so looking forward to the amp arriving

Yeah, being promised a four week response and not getting delivery for at least eight weeks with a promise slipped out to ten weeks...very spoiled of me to be concerned. I gotta work on that!

If it helps, I would have been pretty anxious by now had I not been told in advance it would be a long wait. I waited a while for my Liquid Carbon and 64Ears A12s to finally be manufactured but in both cases buyers were told upfront "this will be a while." I think Schitt is making and effort to improve on their availability forecasting. Let's hope your experience is the exception in the future. You know the old saying "Schiit happens."
