What's going on with availability on the pro charging station? Anybody have luck buying it?

Seems like it can only be pre-ordered right now at a few places (amazon, frys, insight), but they keep pushing out the expected available date. What's the hold up? I don't think netgear should allow a pre order on something they don't know when they will provide. Is there an engineering or manufacturing problem with it?

Looks like Lowe's is finally straightening out their website for the charging station.  Their website now has a June 9th delivery date.  Probably just vaporware.  Home Depot website states delivery early May.

Late last week Nebraska Furniture Mart had an available date of 4/20.

Now it's 4/28.

I don't think anyone knows when the charging station will be in stock, ready for purchase.

Looks like Best Buy (Canada and surely US as well) have them in stock today for immediate delivery.

They must be shipped out by manufacturer only a few at a time.

I ordered one from Best Buy Canada, apparently only 12 were in stock online, it just arrived today. Checked the site again today and they're all sold out already!

Obviuosly Netgear is having supply problems with its manufacturer, something is holding up production and shipping.

I have a friend who is in the Arlo Dealer program.  I had him check, the distributor is indicating that they are getting another supply from netgear around 5/1.  However, he did also indicate that 300 units are currently backordered so I'm not sure how many of those will end up in stores.

I have tried searching for this thread using various search terms but I am to reach it except via email link.  Also as if Netgear prefers the thread go away. Anyway, have any of you been able to recently purchase a charging station or found out any recent information.

From the looks of it, it will be available on Amazon May 9th and you can order it on Amazon right now.  It sounds like people have been having all types of luck: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Arlo-Pro/Where-can-we-get-the-charging-station-for-arlo-pro-cameras...

 

Just make sure that you click the right one - I made this picture just so no one gets confused:

I ordered the charging station on Amazon 3 months ago. It was out of stock but I still kept the order.  I just received the item last week. You need to be diligent

My Arlo Pro charging station will arrive from Amazon tomorrow for $53.99 + tax.  Best Buy as of today has them in stock.  I also have two Arlo Pro batteries the "collectable" chargers headed this due for arrival May 16th.
