Amazon Japan & Amazon UK still no imminent stock for UK, and Sony UK website none for the AM2 but they assure me they have the Z available for delivery and it has High Gain.

Seeing as its a 28 day, no quibble return policy, I've ordered one to test the bloody thing for the EU cap/High gain issue. Hope wife doesn't see the CC bill :scream:

Will see if delivery window holds true

Plus, my Hiby R5 Gen2 already arrived from Hiby in China to UK in 2 days and now at UK sorting centre already!


UPDATE

Soon as I ordered the 1ZM2 it showed out of stock! Maybe they only got the 1 for the UK :smile:
Just had a look and it is showing available for me.. weird.

Very intrigued to hear your thoughts..

Does anyone know if the USA charges duties on getting this Walkman from Japan if I order from Ebay?
They don’t. I purchased Sony lenses from Japan via EBay and no duties were assessed. I also got 1ZM2 forwarded to me via Buyee - no import duties paid either.

Unfortunately I won't have any because they have just cancelled it without any explanations, so assume they don't have any stock.

Absolute farce. Seem to have no idea what they are doing.

Why launch a product in the UK, advertise it and make song and dance about it when there's no stock!? It really bugs me in 2022 when sites show stock when they don't, esp big players like Sony.
Did you see the Australian guy saying their stock delayed until July & August! When its was meant to be deliveries end of April too.

In contrast, Hiby launched their R5Gen2 last Friday, I ordered straight after launch, already arrived in UK from China yesterday and now showing as Shipment en-route from UK distribution centre. May even get it tomorrow at this rate and it was stated as a 10-30 day delivery.

Site now at least acknowledges it is out of stock:

I don't like to be negative but to launch a product with such a high price and instantly be 2 or 3 versions of android behind the current one is not good. One acknowledges there is at least a years development before an item comes to market, but the O/S Version is almost mutually exclusive at this point. If my 5 year old OLED Tv can and does still get Android updates I don't see why Sony can't update their Walkmans.
