- Retroid has begun shipping the Pocket Classic handheld after months of preorder anticipation.
- Retroid has announced that US orders in Teal, Kiwi, and Berry colors will face indefinite delays due to the upcoming cessation of shipments from China.
- Affected US buyers have been urged to change their orders as soon as possible.
After months of teasers, previews, and preorder buzz, the Retroid Pocket Classic is finally making its way into customers’ hands. However, some US buyers risk not receiving their handheld for the foreseeable future.
In an announcement on Discord, subsequently shared on Reddit, Retroid confirmed that shipments of its retro handheld have begun. However, American customers who ordered the Teal, Kiwi, or Berry variants will face indefinite delays due to shipping issues. The announcement explains that US shipping agents will not be accepting inbound shipments from China after April 25, and the subsequent flood of emergency shipping is the reason behind the delays on these particular units, which will now miss that deadline.
