| G1 (base) | $13,500 | Manufacturer direct | shop.unitree.com | Listed US $13.5K excl. taxes/shipping; shipping $300-$1,200; still backordered ('will ship as soon as it is back in stock') at 2026-08-05 check | source |

| G1 (base) | $17,990 | US reseller | robostore.com | Sale price; regular $21,600; product page shows Sold Out with notify-me signup at 2026-07-07, 2026-07-14, 2026-07-21, 2026-07-29, 2026-08-05, 2026-08-12 and 2026-08-19 checks (seventh consecutive week). The store's own feeds still disagree, and at the 2026-08-19 check the disagreement is wider: the collection page shows this variant In stock AND the product variant JSON reports available=true, while the rendered product page shows 'Sold Out - Notify me when it's available' with no add-to-cart. Rendered product page treated as authoritative; do not read the variant JSON as a restock signal for this listing. Buyers should confirm by phone before assuming stock. | source |

warranty sourceUS service & support
US buyers can purchase from RoboStore, which describes itself as the Official North American Partner for Unitree with phone (855-285-7626) and tech support; manufacturer-direct orders ship from Unitree with $300-$1,200 shipping and buyer-handled customs. Note: as of a 2026-07-07 check, shop.unitree.com posts a notice that shipping rates to some countries are temporarily raised due to peak-season logistics costs, so direct-order shipping may exceed the listed range (notice still posted at 2026-08-05 check). FCC note: on 2026-07-28 the FCC added foreign-produced advanced robotic devices (explicitly including humanoids and quadrupeds) to its Covered List — models authorized before that date, including the current US listings, remain legal to import, sell, own, and update, but future new Unitree models cannot receive the FCC equipment authorization required for US sale without going through the new conditional-approval process. Corporate note: Unitree listed on the Shanghai STAR Market (code 688836) on 2026-08-19, closing its first session at CNY 845 (+460% over the CNY 150.80 offer price) for a market cap near CNY 341.8B (~$50B). The IPO raises ~CNY 6.1B (~$900M), of which ~CNY 4.2B is earmarked for robot model R&D, body R&D, new products and a first company-owned manufacturing base. This changes Unitree's capital position, not the warranty, parts supply, or FCC status of any robot already sold.
