Yup, but I ordered Jan, 2019 so I still have a decent wait.
I just received this today and thought this might interest you. My order is still TBD but will be checking it later.
Dear xxx,
Thank you so much for your patience as we overcome the CPU shortages. As we are able to source components, in particular CPUs, we are manufacturing new batches of Librem 5s. We just completed a new large batch. We have already started contacting the next customers in the queue for their updated shipping address. We expect to fulfill a lot of Librem 5 orders in the next few months.
We are dedicated to fulfilling all of our orders as soon as we can. While we already have large CPU orders in place with a longer lead time, we also continue to spot buy CPUs as they show up on the market, and the current outlook seems better for our CPU supply than in the past. In addition to contacting customers as their order comes up, we are working to calculate accurate shipping estimates for the rest of the orders we can fulfill with our current batch.
In the coming weeks we intend on updating the order status on our shop for customers who will be part of the current large batch. Once we complete updating this status we will send out a new email to those Librem 5 customers so they can check their own status. We thank you for your support as we continue to innovate on software to advance the mobile free software ecosystem.
Thank you!
January 2019 order.

Isnāt there a second large batch too that was referenced here, Reddit, Twitter, or Mastodon?
Weāre currently shipping through the batch that had its photos posted on social media some time ago (it still required assembly and testing which took some time). More are coming, but thatās still the future

Thanks for starting this thread, I find it quite interesting to see the progress (and was afraid we lost you during those years :-)). Updated the chart.

I found that the AP6275S_NVRAM_V1.2.1_20200311 firmware had working WiFi, but AP6275S_NVRAM_V1.4_20201116 did not scan (although other devices could see it in hotspot mode). Neither had Bluetooth. It might have something to do with where I found those files. Also, the right U.FL cable could be 2mm longer in Evergreen (although the extra length is available by rerouting the cable under the middle cover). Bitch models had plenty of length to spare.
Today Iāve received the long awaited email from Purism. 
I need to confirm my shipping address and if I wanted to add some accessories to my order. 
My order date is: 17 Januari 2018.
Iāll post any updates here as soon as there is any progress made in the process.

Wait - what? 
My order date is October 19, 2017, and so far I only got my address confirmation e-mail (in October 2021). Up to now I was just a bit envious, when I saw people with order dates after mine reporting shipping e-mails (or receiving actual phones). But I thought it might be somewhat difficult for purism to process orders exactly in order, since they might be doing things in parallel. Yet Iād expect them to ship first to those who participated during the crowd funding period, before serving those who ordered afterwards. Is anybody else with an October 2017 order still waiting for the shipping e-mail?

As always, it is useful to do two things.
- Confirm whether your email is working e.g. in terms of whether Purismās email was eaten as spam or e.g. whether your email address has changed in the ensuing 4 years
- Contact Purism support in order to enquire as to whether there is a problem with your order.

IMHO, best would be if Purism would publish somehow, for example here in a pinned post, the order date of the last shipped L5.

My order date is Oct 22, 2017.
I have received the address confirmation email on Feb 14, 2022 but the phone as not been shipped yet (Mars 9, 2022).
I have sent an email on Mars 3, 2022 asking when the phone is expected to be sent and get a reply asking to confirm my shipping address, which I have already done on Feb 14!
On Mars 7, I received an email stating that the phone will be shipped within the weekā¦
I am still waiting for the shipping emailā¦

Ordered: 2017-10-22
Address mail: 2022-02-14
Ship date: 2022-03-01
Arrival date: 2022-03-07
Unboxed and checked the most essential things
- drains 120mA when powered off and not charging ā¦
- wifi lost connection several times within 30 minutes (see vid at second 7), and couldnāt reconnect automatically, even soft-reset did not help. Only hard reset with kill switch helped ā¦
Strange ā¦ Hope this is software not hardware error. Havenāt checked anything else yet (bluetooth, gps, updates, sim, calls, etc).

Thatās pretty much what this topic is, but crowd-sourced. However as the post 3 above yours and the post after yours imply, thatās going to get confusing if (when) orders are not shipped strictly in order. The āorder dateā could be momentarily in January 2018 and then suddenly get dragged back to October 2017 for a couple of orders.
At least the shipping address / modem select mail should be in the order of the order date, very strictly. The rest, i.e. the real shipment, depends on the answer, if any, of the client. Having Purism in the obligation of publish the date of address/modem mail would help to avoid such confusions and would let people check their mail pipeline if theyāre not receiving a mail which they are suposed to be mailed.

Shipping mail, that is, it has actually been shipped, or the address confirmation mail?

You should create a separate topic and people will help you to debug.
