Update on upcoming 60HE batches in the EU
Wooting 60HE in the EU
This update will provide the status of the next six batches of 60HEs that are scheduled to deliver to our EU fulfillment center.
EU-Komeet
This batch is ready to go and is currently shipping! If you haven't yet confirmed your shipping address via the Wooting Hub, please do so. Otherwise, the remainder of the orders in this batch will be automatically shipped during the week of the 24th of July.
EU-Krater
New orders for ISO keyboards are currently being allocated to this batch, though the ANSI keyboards are getting allocated to the next batch.
The keyboards in this batch have completed manufacturing, got the stamp of approval from quality assurance, and the freight shipments have been scheduled.
We expect that the remaining ISO keyboards in this batch will be allocated to orders well before this batch arrives to the fulfillment center.
Shipments start: the 22nd of August
EU-Asteroïde
The first keyboards allocated to this batch date back to the end of June, specifically ANSI layout keyboards. Indeed, all of the ANSI keyboards in this batch got allocated to orders as we experienced an explosion of interest out of Japan!
Wooting ファミリーへようこそ!
To attempt to rebalance the keyboard allocations, we've redirected the entirety of NA-Asteroid to get shipped to the EU instead, which doubled the size of this batch. Before we could execute on that swap, some orders got allocated keyboards out of the next batch, EU-Nevel. All of these orders were reallocated back into EU-Asteroide, so make sure to double check your batch!
The manufacturer ready date for this batch is the 31st of July, at which point they will begin their freight shipment to our EU fulfillment center.
Despite having effectively doubled the size of this batch, the ANSI keyboards will be fully allocated to orders long before the freight arrives to our fulfillment center. It may be the case that when this batch delivers, ISO layout keyboards will be in stock for a short time.
Shipments start: the 31st of August
EU-Nevel
Once all of the keyboards in EU-Asteroide get allocated, new orders will be assigned a keyboard out of the next batch, EU-Nevel.
These keyboards are expected to finish manufacturing on the 18th of August, at which point they will begin their freight shipment to our EU fulfillment center.
Once this batch delivers to our warehouse, we expect to have a healthy in-stock level of ISO layout keyboards and be able to consistently sell directly from available inventory. This is not expected to be the case with ANSI-layout keyboards.
Shipments start: the 12th of September
EU-Zon
Right on the heels of EU-Nevel, we've got EU-Zon getting manufactured.
The manufacturer ready date for this batch is the 25th of August, at which point they will begin their freight shipment to our EU fulfillment center.
It is possible that when this batch delivers, there will be a brief, fleeting moment when the ANSI layout keyboards will be in stock.
Shipments start: the 26th of September
EU-Zonnestraal
The next batch after EU-Zon is EU-Zonnestraal, coming just a week and a half later.
The manufacturing ready date is the 8th of September, with the freight shipment occurring shortly thereafter.
Based on current sales rate projections, we expect that once this batch delivers to have both ISO and ANSI layout keyboards in stock, though the stock level likely won't be enough to stay in-stock through the next batch delivery.
Shipments start: the 10th of October
