Estimate your Librem 5 shipping

Oh, I did not know that the answered post could be opened like that. Unfortunately, this does not work in the mobile browser (that I usually use to read in this forum). There the browser jumps back to the answered post. This is solved better in the Desktop browser.

To your question: I care about likes if people do everything to get more of them and this could cause a worse experience for other people. And on the mobile browser it is a bit annoying if users answer with every step of their shipping progress instead of writing one post.
If the forum would show the same behavior in the Desktop browser as in the mobile browser it would also make the work of @jonsger (or @spaetz) more annoying. Gladly, this is not the case which I didn’t know before.
Otherwise I don’t have anything against likes and liking :slightly_smiling_face:

To build up the anticipation in those ordering later than Toggleton above (Jan. 9, 2019), I received my verification e-mail today (Nov. 22, 2022) for my order dated Jan. 22, 2019! :slight_smile: I’ll complete the remaining info after receipt.

I can’t say I’m super impressed with their process here, since my order looks to have “fallen through the cracks”. I initially replied to their verification email the same day it arrived, and got back a “thanks, we’ll get it shipped”, and then had to send a followup email asking when I didn’t hear anything further for 3 weeks. To be fair, it was something of a “special order”, since I wanted it sent to a PO Box, which meant USPS instead of their usual carrier, so results may not be typical. I just got hands-on with it, and it came through shipping fine.

The second delay was me not getting to the PO Box due to scheduling and weather, so don’t read anything into it. (The whole reason for sending it to a PO Box was so it could sit safely without risk of “poorch pirates”, or snow).

I’ve fired it up, and have thoughts. I’ll probably post those here in a bit.

That’s really cool, first success story with order date after mine (Aug '19). Congrats, dude! I’m a bit more patient now.

From what we’ve seen here, the initial address verification email has never been an indication that the phone would ship immediately, only that they were getting ready to finalize it (add the modem, flash the software, test, etc.), probably with a batch of all the other L5s of people they might have just contacted.

Congrats on getting your L5!

This is what I was thinking too. My order date was Jan 30, 2019 and I have not heard anything yet despite Photon (Jan 21, 2019) having received his verification email 11 days ago.

I’m Jan 29th and haven’t gotten any correspondence as of yet.

That’s fair. 3 weeks seems a little on the long side, but it indeed doesn’t give an ETA on shipping after the confirmation email. Then again, the majority of reports here are within a week or so, including emails sent after mine, which were shipped around Nov 4. Still, that means only a week or so delay, which the odd shipping requirements more easily explains.
