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.

Yeah, oops, I’d originally thought I’d ordered Jan 2019, and when I looked it up and saw it was Dec, I changed the month, but not the year.

My order (Jan 22, 2019) with verification e-mail of Nov 22, 2022 “shipped” Nov 30 (“shipped” because it didn’t actually get to FedEx until the next day). Obviously coming by truck across country (California to Maryland) as it’s not expected to arrive until Dec 6. Photon’s is probably on the same truck; I would have preferred Planet Express! 
I had the same thing, with the shipping label created on the 22, but not given to the carrier till the 23.

FedEx Ground had it only for 2 days, so not so bad. They insisted that they would require a signature, but as they almost always do at my place (up in the Sierra Nevada), they just left it at my garage door.
