Thanks a lot for the swift reply! Appreciate it.
So we have to wait … ok. Have to accept.
Am a little concerned since there are 2 years of backlog before my order may become proceeded. Quite a lot. Translates to quite long time I assume.
However …
Today still the same Order Status.
Just waiting
You will be waiting forever

My order date has it as July 2018. I don’t remember doing anything special…
I’m curious to know: are we still in chip shortage?
We’d have to be exited from it, or not yet?

@veleno I’ve seen a couple of insightful opinions in the i.MX 8M Quad: availability and prices in 2022 thread.

The chip shortage won’t be resolved for a long time according to experts like Intel who say it will last until 2024 at minimum. Big players in the industry, such as Apple, are still expected to miss their targets due to unforseen lockdowns in China as one reason. Toyota is cutting back production as well and TSMC is projecting their shortage to last into 2023. It’s not like companies aren’t trying to work around this, some of them are removing features, and others are updating their code to work with alternative chips. Anecdotally, a replacement Apple M1 MacBook I am expected to be getting for work won’t be available to me until September.
It’s completely understandable, though understandably frustrating, that Purism is still experiencing difficulties with getting orders shipped out still.

I got (yesterday) and replied (just now) to the “preparing to ship” e-mail (i.e. not the actual shipping notification with tracking code just yet) too! Will update when I get the shipping notification so we can add another dot in the graph.
Order date: April 7, 2018

I don’t think we reached July 2018.
I ordered March 21, 2018 still “Awaiting Shipment”

You messed it up heavyjoe.
tendays had the Order-Date: April 7, 2018 and just got his Phone on 14th June 2022.
And the Graph is still below 1. May 2018, The Blue Line is on the left Side, just the Order-Number 3333. June 15, was just the tracking date of the parcel.
Hope you’ll get your phone soon. When the next big pile of cpus arrive, i hope we will rush through 2018 and 2019 fast. Cause there was in sum less orders then 2017. But right now its not sure if purism got the ordered parts (in time!), due to hiccups of the supply and chain, logistics and so on…

Nahh, we do have one outlier with an order date of 2018-07-30 which was received on 2022-05-17. However, it seems it was just that, an outlier, the latest earlier confirmed date is indeed from April 7, 2018.

IIRC the prices went up in multiple steps in 2019. That may have caused cummulations of orders around that points in time.
But I don’t think in an amount like 2017. If 1000 people bought in 2018, then it could be nearly same amount in 2019. You are right that such steps cumulative orders, but directly after such steps the amount of orders should be lower than average.
Okay, this FourYearLongLurker popping up for his two cents:
Order Date L5 EU: 12 April 2018
Email purism asking me to update my data: 13 June 2022
Current Order Status in my account: Awaiting Shipment (No date)
Is it really time to say goodbye to my old dumb Nokia and paper agenda and notebook ?
