Jesus, they just left a $2k package on the driveway?
At least itâs his driveway. My last huge shipment from FedEx, they left at someone elseâs house .

Mine arrived. The fedex guy used the single nylon strap securing the box to descend it to the ground. Could have been much worse.
One of the carton locks was missing on mine and a bit of tearing of the bottom, but didnât see any other problems.
Unboxing the styrofoam top got wedged in the box top and came off along with the box. No harm, but it made it more difficult than it should have been. So try to keep the top square so that the styro stays with the unit and it will slide off much easier than mine.
Otherwise it looks pristine, no visible damage.

I just got mine and got it unboxed. Doing the setup. The handle on the front door was broken 
the screw was sheered off. Dang it. Otherwise seems okay though. The FedEx driver complained about the weight, ha.
Also. If this thing was any bigger, it wouldnât fit on my desk!

On my order page it says âPre-order Ship around April 30, 2025â
Is there any reason to believe it might ship sooner (or later) than that?
Anyone getting any movement on GEL to Europe / Germany? Mine is still in âGoods has left transshipment pointâ status since thursday morning.

No movements. But that is to be expected with GEL. You can only see what step comes next, and that would be the delivery depo.
So the printer could just pass about, (to pick a number) 10 other locations bevore arriving at the delivery depo.
And they dont tell you where those are so you cant keep track how far away the printer is.
So in my case i dont expect any further information today.

Good to see there is progress atleast somewhere with GEL. Having read the reviews about GEL I have a bad feeling about this, Besides the fact there is no movement at all and its still stuck at the second step.
I was ordering from Germany in thursday 15.15pm. It seems that, at least in my case, the shipment status is currently completly out of date.
The accessoires still have the status âin transitâ while they have been delivered on friday or saturday:
The printer status ist still only on âreceived Order informationâ while I received the tracking number from Bambulab in thursday.
I am still hoping that the printer delivery status is out of date like the accessoires delivery.
I dont understand. Is DPD the carrier you are receiving your printer from? Because the others living in Germany are receiving it from GEL.
At least is has some info on the GEL site but there hasnât been any progress there is days.
Thank you for telling me! The link from Bambu tracking was forwarding me to DHL (!) and since the number did not work ich checked by DPD (they shipped accessoires) and they at least knew the number.
Ich now checked by GED and in this moment I received the call/message from GED informing me that the printer will be delivered tomorrow. The current status is still:
@olafruecker
Did they carry the parcel into your house or you had to do it for yourself?
Have fun!
You need a bigger room

Unfortunately no, delivery is only to the front door, I had to carry it together with a friend to the 5th floor 
(there is no elevator)

Oh ok. Any chance to carry this thing alone for a few meters?
As I dont have some company at the place I want to setup this thing 
I tried it, for a few meters straight ahead it was ok, but going up the stairs was difficult
