correction to:
orders up to xx.xx.xxxx will be dispatched by xx.xx.xxxx.
in other words, the devices are ready for shipping.
that level of commitment is commonly the norm!

Yes, for those orders where purism can estimate shipping dates, it already does so in your order web view, or so I hear. But I am not purism and this thread is for community tracking ACTUAL order shipments, so I’ll shut up on that.

It’s nice that they have made the order dates of the affected batches public 
From the data we have of September 2018 and begin of October 2018 my “educated” guess is that the batches consist of around 1000 phones.

New update and refresher:
Order Date: August 15th 2018
Shipping Date: August 26 2022
Message of shipment was not Purism itself, but the delivery courier that a package had been shipped to me. Purism may update me later today after they finish with bulk shipping today

Still waiting on my L5 USA but I did order a bunch of accessories in anticipation so that might be causing a slight delay.
My original post was Estimate your Librem 5 shipping
ja …, and where we are is your duty? you’re not getting my point.
Order Date: August 15th 2018
Shipping Date: August 26 2022
(Bonus) Receiving date: August 28 2022, one day earlier than courier listed
Still no update from Purism itself to my inbox that it shipped so lots of people may be in for a fun surprise who ordered around August 2018 and don’t have local couriers set to notify them when packages requiring a signature or proof of id ship to them
Proof for all the Purism haters in Reddit land:

Nice to see you got yours. Not an indication though that they are mass shipping them yet as your order date and shipping date seems to follow the same pattern we’ve seen for the last 6 months or so.

Not direct proof that the batch 1 of the final 3 batches is now shipping, no, but it aligns with the Aug 22nd blog post that the first batch will be from around September 2018 as my August 2018 has now been fulfilled.
| Batch Name | Batch Status | Order Date Range |
|---|---|---|
| E3 | Production Run Complete, Shipping in Progress | 2018-09 - 2019-02 |
| E4 | Production Run Pending | 2019-03 - 2020-12 |
| E5 | Production Run Pending | 2021-01 - Shipping Parity |

Wow. I have to admit that I was kind of giving up hope on receiving my L5 this year (ordered in 01/2019) but it might still happen
The fact that you did not get any notice upfront is not so nice, though - I counted on it as I wanted to add an extra battery and the privacy screen (and I was hoping on an official cover as well, which is why I did not add the extras sooner, but that does not seem to happen…)
It would be great to know whether it is easy to add extras to an existing order or if one has to contact support for that - any experiences ?

I don’t whether that is what @iamauser said though. The comments were about a shipping email. Presumably you still receive the modem confirmation / address confirmation email - and at that time you must order any extras and get the new order linked to the old order.

As part of the original notice that goes out of “we’re preparing to ship, please confirm your address” you can add other products. I myself added a modem that works better for places I travel to so you should be able to add a battery and privacy screen when the original email goes out. That email I got. The we have bundled everything together and actually shipped email hasn’t happened yet even though I now have the phone

Ok but did they confirm your address? I have since moved so I really don’t want my phone getting delivered to my old address.
On my reading of the previous post, it is clearly “yes”. However you could just contact Purism unsolicited and update your address.

I just updated the chart in post #1 once more. But its usefulness is nearing its end. Once we have reached the end of the recorded table, we have no clue about order numbers anymore.
Somebody else could continue to track order lead times, by manually collecting order dates and shipping dates, but that will not be me.
