Pre-order FAQ
When will my unit ship?+
Estimated ship window: summer 2026 (approximately June – August). We will email you a tracking number the moment your unit leaves the assembly line.
What if I change my mind?+
No problem. Request a full refund any time before your unit ships and we will release the hold on your card. Once the unit is in transit, our standard 14-day return policy applies.
Do you ship worldwide?+
Yes — $15 flat for tracked worldwide shipping to most of North America, EU/UK, APAC, LATAM, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. We cannot ship to US-sanctioned jurisdictions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk).
Will I owe VAT / customs duty?+
Maybe. The $99 price does not include VAT/GST or import duties in your country. For most buyers in the EU/UK/AU the total duty + VAT works out to roughly 15–25% of the device value. We ship DDU (duty-unpaid) — your local carrier will contact you if anything is owed.
Is this an Anthropic product?+
No. Claude Desktop Buddy is an independent community hardware project that uses the open-source BLE protocol published by Anthropic for maker devices. "Claude"™ is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic.
What does the Founders Edition include?+
The fully assembled device, a USB-C cable, founder code card, Founders member code, email support, and lifetime firmware updates. Firmware is also always free and open source on GitHub.
When will I receive my Founders number?+
Founders numbers are assigned when orders are being prepared for shipment, not immediately after payment. We will keep you updated by email as your order moves forward.
Is the device FCC / CE certified?+
The underlying M5StickC Plus module carries FCC ID 2AAJX-M5STACK and CE marking from M5Stack. Claude Desktop Buddy is sold as a developer / maker accessory, not a consumer electronics product. If you need regulatory documentation for your company, email hello@claude-desktop-buddy.com before ordering.
