They are currently out of FariPhone4 and you can’t buy one (in America) from FariPhone itself. My Terracube is broken and I need a phone. So my question is, does anyone have any experience with waiting for an out of stock item to be replenished? I would like a phone ASAP but am willing to wait a week or two for a FairPhone. However, if it’s going to be a month or months (or never) I should just go ahead and order a Pixel 4.
While I’m sceptical that more FP4s are still being produced (as in manufactured), I’d still recommend to wait until monday or tuesday to check availability again. My experience (although admittedly with Fairphone’s own online shop) in the past has been that devices have often gotten out of stock at night or at weekends, only to become available again the next morning or the next working day. Apparently they don’t necessarily enter their whole stock in their online shop system at once, but only a limited quantity, perhaps to better deal with logistics of shipping etc.
The Fairphone stocks usually are restocked in about 2 weeks. This depends on the availability of devices as well, for example for the newer FP5 it could take more time as it is a recently released model.
