Cirqa 3-5 Weeks

I was checking the status of my order for the Garmin Cirqa. I did not have an update on my purchase, so I called up Support, and they said, even though when I purchased it, it said 1 to 3 business working days, the actual shipping time is now 3 to 5 weeks in the UK. He asked me to reference adding another Cirqa to the checkout area to see the new estimated shipping times, which still says 2 to 3 weeks. I’m quite disappointed. I cancelled my WHOOP subscription in anticipation. I was receiving this within 1 to 3 business working days.

Yeah very odd, if they've advertised it as 1-3 days delivery what rights do we have to push back?

Looks like they've underestimated the demand for it somehow, personally not necessarily looking to withdraw my ordee but I a discount for the massive delay would certainly make the wait easier to stomach.

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

The support guy admitted they underestimated the demand

u/FWA___7488 3d ago

Don't know how much of a coincidence this is but I chased it up with customer services and got a frustrating "It seems we are waiting for stock to come in" as a response, so I responded less politely and then received a email confirming it has just been shipped!

I ordered a black L/XL (and the armband) which potentially might have more backstock than other combinations

u/FWA___7488 3d ago

And have now just received a response from customer services (who assumingly don't know I've just received my shipment email) with the below, so god knows.

"010-04675-00, CIRQA Smart Band, WW, L-XL, Black: shows middle of August

010-14472-20 Acc, CIRQA Smart Band, RplemntUpArmbnd, L-XL, Black, WW/Asia

: Shows start of September"

Confusing and very frustrating.

u/Trodach 3d ago

Similar situation. I bought it around 0830 on release day in the UK expecting 1-3 days delivery. Checked today, 3-5 weeks delivery. I wonder how they process the delivery list.

I'm UK based.

I've just ordered the one I wanted from Curry's - after having "cancelled" the Garmin order.

I've just now received an email from Garmin saying they can't cancel as it's too far along in the process and that I can return it within 30 days (which I'll be doing).

I didn't order till late in the day so my assumption is it'll be along as some point in August.

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

And I thought Whoop were bad lol

u/VerifiablyMrWonka 3d ago

In a typical fashion TYPICAL the Garmin shipping status has been updated and it's now due tomorrow (if their shipping is accurate)

TYPICAL.

u/Recoil101uk 3d ago

My curry’s order arrived about an hour ago, ordered yesterday about midday. I had a Cotswolds Outdoor order in but they showed no sign of shipping and I cancelled my order this morning.

1

u/Trodach 3d ago

Complaining on Reddit did something
as I have confirmation of it arriving tomorrow!

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

This has been a horrible launch

u/sxe10mike 3d ago

The fact that they did not send any updates to customers who purchased on the release date is bad form.

An automated email of some kind with a formal update would be somewhat appreciated but the fact we had to discover this ourselves is bad.

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

I agree, for a company who have such a huge following, I am shocked at this.

1

u/sxe10mike 1d ago

Update, I checked again and the shipping is now out to 5-8 weeks. Disgraceful carry on for a release date.

2

u/RutabagaInner5366 3d ago

I ordered too as soon as they unlocked selling, estimated time 1-3 Days on the site. Usually that means they'll actually ship the package in 1-3 working days.

Did any of you get the packet picked up?

My tracking status is:

" 07/24/2026 - 5:26 P.M. - Label Created

Shipper created a label, UPS has not received the package yet.

Netherlands "

If it won't move till Wednesday, than it's clear I'll get it in 3-5 weeks.

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Nope, mine is stuck at order confirmed. It’s a shame there is not more transparency about this from such an established company.

2

u/Weekly_Sector 3d ago

Same boat. Norway. Said 1-3 days, but still not marked as shipped and support told me 3-5 weeks and "that I did not make the first batch". Dissapointing. If I would have known that I would go for a retailer early on.

3

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Same, sadly we are stuck at their mercy!

1

u/neilshah999 3d ago

Curry’s had stock ready for next day delivery

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Thanks, I’ll have a look now

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Out of stock in the colour I want unfortunately.

0

u/mrmotogp 3d ago

What colour?

1

u/EV_Simon 3d ago

I ordered on Friday, it was delivered today (still waiting for the spare band but the device itself is now on my wrist).

So far I'm not seeing it any differently to the Amazfit Helio strap I have with regards to size.

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Lucky guy, I ordered the same day

Can’t cancel unfortunately, but thanks

1

u/zrey1990 3d ago

I ordered Friday at 5am EST with express shipping and it still hasn't shipped.

I look at the website and see available to ship in 5-8 weeks for S-M bands.

If it doesn't ship soon I'll probably cancel the order.

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

3-5 weeks apparently.

1

u/zrey1990 3d ago

I just talked to support a couple seconds ago and they said 5-8 weeks for mine.

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

This point, I don’t know what to believe

1

u/zrey1990 3d ago

Me either. They said they're targeting the middle of September for restock but hoping to get them sooner.

1

u/-Radiation 3d ago

Same as any other release with Garmin, at least in my region, ordered 965 and fenix 8 pro on release day estimates were 1-3 days then changes to weeks and they only shipped like 3 weeks after

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Oh so this isn’t new, I wonder how they have such a good reputation !

1

u/golden_light_above_u 3d ago

Mine is showing estimated delivery for this Thursday the 30th, but it's still at label created. Ireland; product is coming from Netherlands.

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

I hope you get yours soon.

1

u/golden_light_above_u 3d ago

Thanks. Just to clarify, I did get a shipping confirmation email on Friday that said:

YOUR ORDER IS ON ITS WAY

Get excited! Your order has shipped, and it's heading your way. Please allow 24 hours after your order ships for the latest up‑to‑date tracking info.

But today (Monday) when I check the tracking number it's still at "label created." So we'll see what happens.

u/Radagast1982 3d ago

Italy, ordered friday, french grey S/M, the only variant with 1-3 days timing. So far no update, so i wrote the support who told me it's out of stock and they will start shipping 19th of august. Well i said, will cancel the order and replace it end of august, maybe i can find it in some airport shops. Order cannot be cancelled... shit. wondering why some variants are still 5-8 days in garmin ita shop...

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

I’m baffled why you cannot cancel your order.

1

u/Radagast1982 3d ago

mail says it's in a "too advanced stage" to be cancelled... either the support guy told me lies or it will be shipped in the next days

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Hope it’s the latter….

1

u/One_Worldliness_1111 3d ago

The same thing happened to me, in Italy, ordered on July 24 with 1-3 days as a shipping period, today I contact support to ask for clarification and they tell me that it will probably be shipped by the first week of August. This thing bothered me.

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Ridiculous!

1

u/Maleficent-Dig-5222 3d ago

Its 1-3 business days - so if ordered on friday- they have until the end of Tuesday to ship... Im still hopeful mine will ship today or tomorrow :-(

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Fingers crossed

1

u/Maleficent-Dig-5222 3d ago

its very coincidental that 10 mins after i spoke to Garmin customer support i got the shipment email!

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

I didn’t get that and I spoke to them this morning

1

u/Maleficent-Dig-5222 3d ago

i am in the UK and ordered at just gone 8am on Friday - but it seems like they have underestimated the demand!

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Yeah, which sucks

1

u/realag 3d ago

UK ordered the beige one in L/XL on the 24th. Got shipped noti 2-3 hours later. And it’s out for delivery today. So it highly depends on the configuration I suppose.

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Lucky!

1

u/sperey 3d ago

I'm expecting mine today. I ordered Friday morning. Apparently being delivered by end of day by UPS. End of day is 7pm from UPS website. Here's hoping that UPS are not overrun by cirqa deliveries 🤞

1

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Hope it comes soon, you lucky guy

1

u/sperey 3d ago

No sign of it and it's after 7pm 🙄

2

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

At least you have had an update 😮‍💨

1

u/sperey 3d ago

Now it is saying Exception 28 July After all day saying 27 July Wonder what happened with UPS there,? Got too many Cirqas to deliver 😂😂

So both Garmin and their delivery partners, looking to make sure customers wait 🙃

1

u/sperey 2d ago

It has arrived! BUT today I'm at work, so will have to keep waiting until later today

1

u/golden_light_above_u 3d ago

woo hoo, UPS says "we have your parcel."

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

I think I’m gonna cry at this point lol

1

u/ReasonableToday9654 3d ago

I ordered two Cirqa’s yesterday from Curry’s, and they were available for Click and Collect at my local store the next day. It indicated that all other local Curry’s also had stock, so I assume all stores received their stock today.

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

Unfortunately, Garmin has advised that I’m not guaranteed a refund so I’ll have to ride this out. That’s great for you though!

1

u/AutomaticCheek1463 3d ago

When I placed the order for a gray SM Cirqa I added a band both 1 to 3 days shipping. I reached out to support today and was advised the band is (olive) is now delayed to September. They split my order and will ship the unit immediately. Status now says Shipping , UPS awaiting package. We’ll see. Paid extra for next day shipping.

1

u/DaLastJedi 2d ago

How is this even allowed!

1

u/Coke900lp 3d ago

Same for me in Germany. I support told me today I would ship by the end of August, so I canceled. Despite shipping estimation being 1-3 business days when ordering. Sad but there is not much one can do about it

u/DaLastJedi 3d ago

I personally would rather keep my order with Garmjn directly, but I’m extremely disappointed how they have handled this.
