FM3 Now Shipping

The discussion forums though is not an official channel.

This thread is an announcement that the FM3 started shipping, read the 1st post.... then the community of those with nothing better to do turned it into a waitlist tally....

If you want an answer from fractal, Your best bet is to email or call them directly.
Thanks, I did end up doing just that and the answer was confirmed => FM3s are temporarily back ordered.

Thanks for letting us know this. Even though this is not the news I would have hoped for, it is nice to have some information that has been confirmed.

I wonder if the next batch is on the slow boat from China or if something else has caused them to be backordered.

I am told that the next batch is arriving by next week at the latest. Why they went back ordered I would imagine is likely complicated, given the ongoing complexities of doing business with China.

Thanks, that's helpful. Despite being only really relevant for the US/Canada, I have used this positive indication to pass on the non-HP version and sit tight for the HP version. A difficult decision, and at AUD$2000+, not trivial. Anyway, no idea how long this will be, but will be awesome when it eventually gets here. In the meantime, what was it - oh yeah, play guitar! Cheers.
 
FAS at one point posted comments indicating invitations were sent each day, I do not think they are doing that anymore unfortunately.

I think they do not do it anymore as it costs to much time and led to too much speculations on time frames etc... And then questions like hey FAS did you forget my invite? Surely they want to provide everyone with a FM 3 who wants to buy one no matter when the day will come 🤷‍♂️😀
 
sure, I'm in agreement they got tired of the relentless questions though for me it was nice to see some communication that units are shipping having been on the wait list for over a year now, just be nice to know where I'm at in the lineup.
 
Congrats! What time were you on the waitlist?
Thanks
