Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery .

In July the 7th I ordered the new Technics SL-1210 AEG anniversary edition from an authorized dealer . ( and paid for it )They said I could have it at the end of July, later they moved the date for mid August , and again the delivery was moved to the end of August.  Today, I got  a message saying :  “We just received notification that Technics pushed the delivery of the SL-1210GAE turntable to the end of September.”Does anyone know if that is accurate?  any useful information?

Got an update yesterday September 16th that Technics is still delayed, I just hope the dealer is accurate and not providing fake news. Don't want to miss the train on this one. If any of you have any updates please post

I Just got this message from the Dealer:” We received a notification from Technics on Friday that all shipments have been delayed again and estimated to ship at the end of October. This is affecting all Technics dealers.”
I wonder what is going on at Technics!!!

There is NO shipping from Japan to USA at all, except for the sea mail. Japan post does not ship to USA at all since the covid if you don't know.  

This is the only reason.

Chak, My research tells me that there is certainly commercial shipping between Japan and the USA, both by air and sea. That said, I could certainly imagine that there are delays due to COVID-19. But I don’t imagine there is complete interruption. It is more likely, to explain the delayed delivery of Technics turntables, that demand in Japan and locally in Asia is high enough such that those geographic regions are being given priority, maybe until production can catch up. The 1200 G series sells like hotcakes over the counter in major stores in Tokyo.
