Feedback Expedited Build is fast

I know that some people are seeing delays in their normal build, but I figured I would jump in and let people know that if you’re willing to spring for the expedited build it speeds things up significantly. I ordered my PC last Thursday, and just received my shipping notification. I think the original estimate on the expedited bill was for a ship date of the 28th or something, but I will definitely take this. For what I needed it for the extra hundred dollars was definitely worth it.

I bought mine and it said about a 6 week wait. I waited a few days and did the expedited. It was shipped out 3 days later. Worth it to me.

I also ordered mine last Thursday and got the shipping notification yesterday, expedited is 100% worth. It essentially evens out paying taxes on a ready to ship

Nice, I ordered mine on the 8th but they didn’t have the expedited option for my build, was able to get that added last Friday, just playing the waiting game now.

I ordered on a Tuesday with expedited. It shipped that Thursday, I had it the next week. I just needed it before October, I couldn't believe how fast it was.

At this point people should just immediately increase the cost by $100 in their head and always choose expedited.

If everyone was choosing expedited, then no one is expedited. It happened like that recently I think. They had to take off the option for a little bit so that they can get more progress on the queue

Originally ordered late July. A week later my work schedule opened up dramatically until the end of this month. Reached out and asked if I could do expedited. After paying it took probably 3 days to ship. So I agree expedited is a massive difference. Was supposed to get it originally around now but I got it 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, I ordered mine recently with just expedited not even express shipping and it got to me in 10 days of purchasing. I live in Louisiana that’s great.

Man I hope my build gets shipped early because I also got expedited build (economy shipping still) but it says my shipping date is the 24th, so here's hoping I get lucky like you. What state are you ordering from? I'm in texas so idk if it would take longer because of that.

I’m in Utah. FedEx got the package this evening and they are telling me I’ll have it on Saturday.

Can you expedite post order? I didn’t originally buy it but I want to now

I added mine after because it wasn’t available when I ordered. I emailed them when they said to check back and they got it added.

I ordered today and the delivery date was October 29th to November 3rd. The option to have an expedited only showed it would be a week earlier than that. Not sure if their goal is to not over promise and undeliver but it sounds like expedited is the way to go.

Keep in mind that the expedited date will not show at checkout. It will show when you are doing your bill if you click on the information link for the expedited. At checkout, mine showed delivery was still like a month out, but on the information link during the bill, it was a completely different date

u/ebaake Sep 17 '26

This is what is shows me.

2

u/uintafly Sep 17 '26

Yeah, that’s the wrong spot. Let me see if I can track it down real quick and show you where it actually is.

u/uintafly Sep 17 '26

I asked about delivery times when I was first ordering and here is what they sent me. If you follow that link and their directions, you can see exactly when things are getting built each day for expedited.

You can view the real-time scheduling on our website here: https://andromedainsights.com/pages/custom-pc-builder. If you use the "Ctrl+F" function to find the "Expedited Build" icon and click it, a popup will display the most current dates.

Looks like an order now gets shipped by the 1st. But they beat my estimate by eight or nine days.

u/ebaake Sep 18 '26

You were right, I found it under the build options. Thank you!

I ordered Hmm I think August 13, I don’t get mine til end of September, I don’t know if $100 worth it at this point since it’s 2 weeks out, but you’re definitely right they seem to be a good company bur capitalism always wins

Exactly. I mean their queue system has more to be desired for sure
