I ordered 😀  

RE: I ordered 😀

Mine was dispatched today. Should be here by the middle of next week, not that I'm keen to get it or anything 🙂

RE: I ordered 😀

I am sure we can find a solution if you are not keen on getting it 😉 jk

RE: I ordered 😀

Well, it looks like they have the lead times under control now! 🙂

RE: I ordered 😀

I guess so.

Mine has been dispatched aswell! 🤩 

RE: I ordered 😀

Out of curiosity, what are the order numbers for people who did it on March 29th?

RE: I ordered 😀

Mine was Order 1644611916, ordered 30/Mar/23 dispatched on 13/Apr/23 it was an upgrade from an XL order.

RE: I ordered 😀

Is that an upgrade or a downgrade?  Just kidding - enjoy your printer.

RE: I ordered 😀

Mine is 1680450593, it looks like there is a huge gap in the order number 😀 

RE: I ordered 😀

An order number can be anything.

Other MK3 printer, spare parts or filament.

So the difference between these two numbers is not specifically related to MK4 orders.

Therefore, you can't calculate when the printer will be delivered based on the order numbers.

🙂 I hope it was an upgrade from my MK3 @cwbullet, although that has worked pretty well over the years. The order number I posted could be the same order number from last year, when I ordered my XL.

RE: I ordered 😀

Yes, that would be an upgrade.  Enjoy your printer, and let us know how it works out.  A good comparison is very welcome.

RE: I ordered 😀

A few users tried to figure shipping by order numbers a few years ago.  It did not work out.  It could be sequential or have another technique.

Based on another post, the order number is the elapsed time from the epoch (1/1/1970 0:0:0) in seconds. If you go to https://www.epochconverter.com/ and enter your order number, it will spit out the date and time the order was placed. This is really a stupid way to create order numbers, especially if you are getting a lot of concurrent requests, but it is what it is.

BTW: still no update on the estimated shipping date; chatted with Prusa support, and now it is pushed out to the end of May, the support guy proudly wrote too many orders.
That does not make any sense, because when I ordered, the lead time was 4-6 weeks; now you are telling me the shipping time is 6-8 weeks because of too many orders. What happened? Did you sneak in lots of orders before my order and pushed the shipping date of my order out? I feel really sorry I sold my MK3S+, I should have kept it. And it is time to say goodbye to Prusa and look around for other options.

RE: I ordered 😀

Nice catch.   yeah, if two users generate an order in the same second, you're gonna get the same number.....    That's coding on a unix system 101 haha.   At least in java(which is my primary language) System.getCurrentTimeMillis() returns an epoch based value, a long, that's the number of MILLIseconds instead of seconds so you'd be less likely to get a conflict.  But the real answer is to either use UUIDs or a biginteger(or similar) auto-numbered primary key assigned by the database.
