TBEAM shipping currently not available to US about firmware HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm. Interesting. Here's a seller on amazon (though the ship date is way out - probably Covid) and the price is a bit high: https://www.amazon.com/TTGO-T-Beam-Wireless-Bluetooth-Battery/dp/B07WVWCMKZ/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=ttgo+t-beam&qid=1583893272&sr=8-13

I've had five on order through alibaba since before CNY. I think they (along with some other aliexpress items I've ordered from other vendors) are still having a really tough time because of Covid. I bet their backlog has now gotten so large the placed a temporary hold on new orders.

I've exchanged emails with them a few times and they seem really nice and this current situation is personally hard for them. After they saw the hackaday article they were kind enough to airship me a few units (and some new 'watch shaped' lora gps devices) as a special favor (because I really need more than the small number I have. Mostly so I can give two to @girtsf ;-) ). I'm supposed to get them this week.

I'll email my contact there who was so helpful and ask if they know what's up with aliexpress orders.

Thanks for the quick response! Nice work with the project. Hopefully I can get my hands on some hardware and participate.

apparently Banggood has plenty of stock and they can ship pretty fast: https://www.banggood.com/LILYGO-TTGO-T-Beam-ESP32-433868915923Mhz-WiFi-Wireless-bluetooth-Module-GPS-NEO-6M-SMA-LORA32-18650-Battery-Holder-With-OLED-p-1545070.html?rmmds=search&ID=510804&cur_warehouse=CN
