No email for me either, and Iâm extremely anxious.
GL inet just posted about it on their blog:
Flint 2 Preorder Success and Delivery Expectations - GL.iNet (gl-inet.com)
deliveries will be delayedâŚ

WowâŚGuess I was right about them sitting on the assembly lines (Actually they werenât even started)âŚ
Delivery? Optimistically by ChristmasâŚBut maybe after the first of the yearâŚ
For me not a big deal as my FLINT1 is humming along nicely now that they fixed the 4.50 beta firmwareâŚ
thanks for posting this. Where do you have the info âoptimistically by Christmasâ from?
The Blogpost stated that super early Bird and early Bird will ship from November 21th.
I mean there where 100 super early bird units and 200 early bird units? so 300 units overall.
that should be produced within hours and ready to ship. This is a router, not a covid vaccine.
where i get a little bit stomach pain is, that the âstreet priceâ of the router is already 134 Euros in the EU Store. But i think (hope) thats its not with tax-free EU Shipping?
I pre-ordered at 4.30am in the morning and will need to pay 92 Euro + 25 Euro Tax/customs = 117 Euro. And i Did that because they labeled the Street price at 180 Euro.

Depends on the product, as written on the shop page:
- Fast delivery (Products with the âEU local deliveryâ tag will be shipped from Germany).
- Products without the âEU local deliveryâ tag are shipped from outside the EU and are subject to shipping costs & TAX & longer delivery time.
Since the Flint2 is still âpre-order onlyâ the 2nd paragraph applies.
Finally, itâs always the same with âearly birdâ: Sometimes youâre annoyed, sometimes youâre happy.
I will always be able to say, âI set my alarm clock to 4 a.m. for this great routerâ

Relax manâŚIâm sure youâll get yours soonerâŚIâm in the U.S. and was estimating my preorder for arrival hereâŚEU is a different storyâŚ
I was thinking about ordering one of these for $109 last week, but I just checked again and noticed that the price has gone up to $129, despite it being Black Friday this week. Maybe itâll drop again on Friday or Cyber Monday though?
I was hoping to keep the price down, since Iâd need to order from the global website due to GL.iNet not shipping to the UK via their EU website. And that higher price could mean Iâd likely have taxes and customs fees to worry about too.
I guess Iâll wait and see. Otherwise I could play it safe and eventually pick one up when theyâre listed on Amazon UK.
I hope they drop the price to $99 for Black Friday, in the spirit of giving.
That would be royal f*** you in the face of the early bird customers, which devices havent even shipped,
But letâs see,

I wouldnât expect the price to match the early bird customers, but if they were to put it back to $109 for a day then Iâd bite.
I just didnât expect the pre-order price to increase before the end of November, since thatâs when people are looking for deals and the new price no longer matches their marketing material.
The several stores all have some differences: in one place in stock, shipping December, in another a different price. But none marked as tax included. At any of these prices this beast is a real deal.
its only a $10 dollar F*** you.
My order is on the way via DHL express
