I was unable to track the shipment on the FedEX site. Every time I checked, the page would load just fine but display this:
Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later.
I tried LibreWolf and Firefox-ESR, enabled javascript, and even unblocked everything except google (it was trying to load fonts.googleapis) using uBlock Origin. I also tried using a Windows 10 user-agent. There are no other extensions that would cause any issues, and it has only been a year or so since I tracked a different order on FedEX with this same setup. I’m guessing that FedEX now requires google not be blocked or something similar. But whatever, I received my Librem 5 anyway, and it works fine so far.
This reddit post from a person claiming to be a Librem 5 customer says that they asked for a shipping update (a week ago) and received this:
At the moment we are fulfilling our backlogged pre-orders from 2018. Backlog from late 2018, 2019, 2020, and orders from 2021 most likely will not be fulfilled until later this year or early next year. We are really sorry for the long wait, we assure you we’re doing everything to ensure larger amount to be produced.
