Estimate your Librem 5 shipping

Agreed.
English is not my native language, so the bad grammar was not recognized.
Despite that fact or maybe because of that fact, to me that mail was not confusing.
This all shows that communicating is a tough job.
You think you are using the right words and then they cause confusion. :woozy_face:

That would indeed be less confusing.

What do you mean? Who do you mean by ā€œtheyā€ ???

Some of the participants in r/Purism. Not that they donā€™t sometimes have legitimate gripes.

In any case, it was tongue-in-cheek.

I see. I worry about the all-too-common ā€œus vs. themā€ mentality: https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-the-us-against-them-mentality .
In this case, it was really a complaint against FedEx and not Purism so I didnā€™t understand the (tongue-in-cheek) villainization.

Well, one of the top comments reads, and I quote:

My response exactly. I would love to see a race between a Librem 5 delivery date and the issuing of subpoenas to Purism executives regarding a lass action lawsuit.

So the audience of redditors is clearly not focusing their anger against FedExā€¦

I recommend moving to the branch-off I created. Otherwise, this thread will be derailed.
Thanks.

Thanks for those updates, it would be awesome if you let us know when the devices actually start shipping so we can update our tracking table. But it is good news that we seem to be moving forward againā€¦

This redditor ordered July 2018 and got the tracking notice today, May 16: https://teddit.net/r/Purism/comments/uqzrjk/what_is_the_functionality_status_of_the_l5_these/

Just posting this for community info (not for the chart, unless the order date is found), another L5 received May 15: https://nitter.net/baltakatei/status/1525676883861381122#m

@amarok I am not sure this information is correct. My order is from May 7, 2018 and I am still waiting.

Maybe that person was confused about their own order date; it has happened before. (They also didnā€™t say whether it was an L5 or an L5USA, although I suspect itā€™s the L5.)

In any case, I would regularly check my spam folder if I were you. :wink:

Seems like a batch is shipping now, so maybe your email is also on its way.

Mine also said that until well within April. Just checked again, it no longer gives me a shipping estimate on the order page. Order date is in October though, so Iā€™ll be waiting a bit longer than you, if the world is still a fair placeā€¦ :joy:

Dang, I was just getting my hopes upā€¦ :cry:

To estimate your queue number:

Compare your order date to the dates in the chart at the top of this thread, which are collected from preserved snapshots of various dates of Purismā€™s L5 campaign on the Web Archive.

Your number will only be an estimate, but fairly close to reality.

I like how this was snuck in there.

Long time lurker first time poster! I wanted to toss my info into the ring now that I have received my Librem 5.

Order date: 7/30/2018
Received: 5/17/2022

I did receive an email asking me to confirm my address before shipping and I think it was a window of time to respond, I would assume to not just have a perfectly good phone sitting there that could go to others that are waiting for it. If anyone has ordered before me I would reach out to support to see about getting yours.
