Well, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, having been keeping an eye on this post since it started. I am pleased to finally report receiving my Librem 5!
Order Date: March 22, 2019
Verification Email: February 13, 2023
Invoice/Shipment: February 24, 2023
Librem 5 Received: March 3, 2023
Destination Country: USA
Getting ready to take it for a spin after charging! Thank you Purism and keep up the excellent work!
Iām in the same boat (though a couple days ahead of you on the email response Feb 13). I think Purism is shipping a lot of phones right now.
It might have something to do with the accessories we ordered with it? Just a guess.
Since Kyleās latest āWhere is my Librem 5?ā post (linked below) said to contact support if you were in batch E3 and hadnāt received your phone yet, I went ahead and did that, though pretty late yesterday (no response yet). Youāre technically in batch E4, so according to the post they are still working through your batch.
Iām at the exact same spot as adamk (Feb 15 verification, Feb 16 response, no shipping email). I figured it had to do with the accessories I ordered.
It also seems that all the shipped reportsā order date here still predate my order date.
i think its just about land-specific delivery rules about Batteries. Like, in Germany you could only send a Battery inside a Phone and one without will cause extra costs or insurance.
I think the offer of purism with that battery was a well-meant but end sometimes with extra personal issues.
Hope it will solved sooner, not later. And the Support give you some hints.

I ordered AweSim so there was a delay is shipping since Purism was forced to set up service through another phone service provider, but changed my mind and cancelled AweSIM, so:
Shipping eMail: March 8, 2023 by FedEx Ground to Newport Beach, California

Very nice product; all components, accessories, and ordered spare battery received.
Currently charging battery, waiting for red charging indicator to turn green before play time begins!
We can deliver batteries within the limits that the transport companies have. Some of those limits are, we can only send an extra battery together with the device that it is intended to, because it is supposed to be a extra battery for your device.
And there are limits to the number of extra batteries that a device can have shipped in the same order.
And now the shipment is stuck at German customs:
āThe enclosed invoice was not accepted by the customs authorities.ā
I need to provide proof of payment that I donāt have anymore!
Yeahh!
Iām curious how this never-ending story continues!
Well, thatās not a proof of payment. But because I have nothing else, I submitted this.
Iām afraid this is just as good as the enclosed invoice/delivery note
