Hi,

I ordered an MPC One, and as I live in Europe, apparently there is a shortage of Akai products
when I call the store, they say Akai can't follow up with the demand and promises delivery, but nothing Akai-related comes with the weekly shipment

any idea what's going on ? is it corona-related ?

sheers

The MPC One is not manufactured in Europe.

The world is inundated with shipping issues due to the Covid crisis.

So much so that several countries are not receiving any air freight and are using sea transport delaying things on average for 3-5 weeks on top of what it would normally take.

So yeah, it's corona related.

still no available shipping date

the guy at the local store says Akai people are waiting for a shipping date; I don't really understand, from what or who

he also told me that many other people were also waiting

I ordered an mpc one in mid June and originally was told it would take 4 weeks, They've told me today that maybe I'll receive it at the end of August or September and said that its a delay in Akai's end

Same here, I ordered my MPC one retro edition early July 2021 and still waiting for delivery. We are almost a year later, it will be retro for sure. A new edition will be out by the time I receive it. It's starting to enervate me.
