Snap’s latest flying camera the $230 pixy drone went on sale last week but the initial buyers were told they’d have to wait three months to actually get the gadget. We’re now thinking that the agency didn’t make enough because snap has unlimited the pixy shipping time to four whole months according to the drone’s website. It’s possible but it seems more likely that snap didn’t make that many, to begin with. In the past snap lost too many pairs of its spectacles but snap CEO Evan suggested that snap underestimated how many pixies it needed to make too few this time around. Honestly, in hindsight, we probably should have made more. As a result, people who purchased the pixy drone are going to have to wait. Even the very first people who bought the pixy on day one won’t see their drone for weeks snap spokesperson Keusder confirmed in an email. That won’t be a surprise to buyers snap website always showed an 11 to 12-week shipping window on its launch date April 28th. But if you purchase one today you’ll now have a longer wait time of 15 to 16 weeks. Snap however isn’t waiting for orders to come in before making each drone the pixy isn’t made to order. So there’s at least a small stockpile somewhere one that takes multiple months to make it to your door. Snap declined to tell us how many drones it made. So we can’t really begin to guess how popular the pixy might be.
