Amazon.co.uk order of new 7004T
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:47 pm
Last Nov 15th I ordered a 7004T from UK Amazon. It was out of stock at the time & said something to the effect of "order now and we will advise when item is available". I have done this for other items in the past & had a few days or a week to wait. Well, it has been over 3 months now & Amazon don't tell me anything when I nag them, just that they can't get any from their supplier.
I'm well aware this isn't an Amazon complaints forum! My point is to find out if there are supply issues at Asustor. Amazon won't tell me who their supplier is but I'm wondering if the whole of the UK is waiting on a slow container ship full of 7004T units, or whether they aren't coming out of the factory at the moment for some reason? Can anyone shed any light on this strange state of affairs please? (let alone do anything about it!) Maybe I should think of cancelling & getting the 7008T? Is that the closest model performance-wise? I don't really need 8 bays but I want the unit primarily for a future proof (in so far as is possible) Plex media server and data back-up in mirrored array. Thanks in advance everyone.
