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.
@spaetz, thanks for taking this task on yourself. I’m sure everybody appreciates your efforts.
hope my anger at pusim didn’t discourage you. apologies.
No offense taken, all is well

Edit: I should also add Purism did send out a shipping email too with tracking on August 26th when it was shipped, it just went to my spam and I missed it
There’s that pesky spam filter issue that everyone keeps reminding about here in the thread. 
I ordered Oct 2018 and received it last week. 
Ordered September 11, 2018
Shipping address confirmation September 6, 2022
Received September 12, 2022
Ordered: 2018-09-08
Shipping address confirmation email: 2022-09-06
As I don’t need this device anymore, I asked for a refund. We’ll see how it goes.
I have created a ticket for your order to be canceled and refunded.
Please keep in mind that it will take some weeks for your order to be
refunded.

Thank you Purism
Would you like to share the exact order date?
Actually I looked it up on the Purism website, I was off a bit.
I ordered 18 August 2018.
Received 8 September 2022
Although it was available for pickup the day prior.
Ah, that explains. As I’ve ordered on Oct. 9, 2018, and have yet to receive an address confirmation mail.
Guessing you ordered more or less around the same time? Well, seeing as how they’re apparently shipping early September 2018 orders, I guess our wait is almost over.
Ordered mine in January 2020. I can’t believe it’s been so long. I wonder if I’ll get it before Christmas this year or if it will be 2023.
No I ordered mid 2019. Purism challenged themselfes “internally” trying to reach shipping parity or fullfill all backorders in 2022. So we will see if they succeed. As much as I look forward to get it into my hands I can wait even longer if that means purism employees avoid issues e.g. burnout. What I think is that we tread each other zs humans, fair with solidarity.
Order date: Oct. 9, 2018
Confirmation mail: Sept. 19, 2022
Received: TBD; will reply to this message when I have the phone in hand.
Order Date: September 4, 2018
Address verification email: September 6, 2022
Purism Shipped: September 8, 2022
Received: September 20, 2022 (delayed by customs due one of the many Malaysian holidays and following weekend)
Immediate started unpacking (everything alright in neat little box) and are in the process of charging … Have to wait for an hour (says the booklet) before further exploration.
I’m happy and exited after the long wait. (in Dutch: "Lang gewacht, stil gezwegen. Nooit verwacht, toch gekregen)
Thank you Purism 
I tried to edit, but I guess there is a time-limit on edits. Just got my email yesterday though.
