But why not in germany? |O
Not here in Canada either.  My guess is this is just an effort for Amazon US to reduce inventory.  Perhaps they know a permanent or promotional price drop is coming.

Sounds like Keysight is a brand to stay away from if they  are claiming their products don't need to have warranties as consumer goods.
I see it is sold online and it's very expensive. That sounds terrible that they won't warranty them.

thanks for letting me know.

This is the thread about people's experiences with Keysight's warranty handling (it seems to be different region by region): https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/keysight-officially-lost-the-plot-dont-buy-if-youre-a-hobbyist/

I was looking forward to getting the Siglent last night from Amazon, then I got this email today that it's delayed,  no tracking number, nothing, just that it's delayed.
called Chat (on Phone), and they don't know where it is or any delivery date , even though it's still in stock and says if I order it now fresh today, it comes in 2 days by Friday.

Amazon: "Hello,
We're encountering a delay in shipping your order. We'll send a confirmation as soon as it ships and communicate the expected delivery date. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Disappointing I am sure. The site says sold and fulfilled by Amazon and if ordered today would be here (South Florida) Friday. I have found Amazon very responsive by phone, surprisingly so. Wait til tomorrow so you don’t get transferred to the Far East and give them a call. It says free returns, if things drag on order another one.

Might it be your location?

Since Amazon moved away from Canada Post to independent couriers here in Canada deliveries have been generally great.  But once in a while, if your package was picked up by someone that needed to pick up their kid from school or a friends hose, your delivery could be delayed. All in all I am pleased with Amazon's efforts to get things to me ASAP.  BTW, I am out in the woods so this effort by Amazon is 347.8731% better than what was possible with Canada Post.

Full disclosure.  I had a mail order business I started in 2012.  Canada post pretty much put me out of business.  How?  I thought you'd never ask.  They would deliver stuff from my competitors in China to my customers for next to nothing (literally .. free shipping on $4 items and such) whilst charging me $9 for the same service.   Yea, ti's great when your government actively squashes small business.  Awesome!

So, do me a favor.  Whenever you can denigrate Canada Post, please feel free.  Do it with abandon .. over and over again .. forever ..

No discount on Amazon Canada. Shame.

I ordered one yesterday, and it's on the truck to be delivered today, so I think this might be a regional issue. I'm in NC.

Yes indeed.   It is only in the US.

As far as the legality goes, I'm pretty sure it's not illegal and you can easily revert the 200M bandwidth key.

Everything you change on the scope without a permission is not legal, just saying. ;)


We in the US are actually allowed to do this without anyone's permission.

The only law that restricts such behavior here is the DMCA and there is a specific exemption for "Computer Programs—Unlocking". This is considered fair use.

I finally just ordered a 2nd Siglent 1104X-E  last night from Amazon-USA  since my first order is still  delayed, no tracking information and no one knows where or what is happening with it.
The 2nd order  should arrive today (california).

If I ever get the first one, I was told I could return it.   They gave me $10 for all the trouble with the first one (I did not ask for it, and it might have been because I called in trouble with 2 different other orders as well and they felt bad for me). 
I think there is some glitch in the system (most likely human glitch in the chain, or new trainees, understandable as long as they take care of issues).

NOTE:  on my 2nd order from Amazon for same 1104X-E model,  on check out they gave me a warning that the Siglent comes in it's own package with no hidden covering and asked me if I wanted it placed into another brown box for free.  Yes yes!!  of course I do,  not only does it hide the  Siglent Scope that looks expensive from  Porch theives, but it adds another layer of  drop protection.   I honestly do not recall that option appearing when I checked out on my 1st attempt at ordering the on sale  Siglent.
Look out for that option if you get stuff from Amazon - always a good idea to have more protection on electronics.

if you order from USA-Amazon to ship to  Germany, maybe  it's still a savings in Price? 

I have a friend in FRance who ordered something else from Amazon-USA, and it was only a few dollars more to get it shipped to france.

can't update the siglent  1104x-U   only the X-e can do all the update enhancements to 200 and other stuff.

Correct, X-U is a different and only 100 MHz design and with a lesser/more basic feature set.

My 1104 XE just came a few days ago. It’s a lot of scope to learn. Like some of the interface features like pressing the voltage scale knob switches between course, and fine adjust.

RCC shipping is free in Canada.  Wow, that's about $180 less than I paid for mine.  These scopes are getting insanely cheap!
