@Freedom_Right, another data point for you and @ytihjafsbczpelrmqr:
Ordered: 7/12/21
Shipping Confirmation: 3/26/21
Support Confirmation: 4/8/21
Tracking Information: …
Configuration:
I ordered mid August and haven’t received anything yet. I’m guessing May delivery now.
The website changing to orders “placed today arriving in June” is an update over the last 48 hours or so.
To add to the crowd-sourcing of data points:
I also asked for a shipping update on 4/12/21 and was told best estimate was it will ship this month. 
Thank goodness they remembered to include the firmware in your shipment.
I got my tracking number this morning, ordered 2020/07/02. I guess folks who ordered after the first day haven’t quite been reached yet. I’m sure they have a lot of orders to get through on the first few days.
@ytihjafsbczpelrmqr I think the email you’re referring to was a generic newsletter sent to all L14 customers? Not that your order would ship in May, but rather people who pre-ordered now.
Hey all,
My first time posting here but I figure I would add a voice if it helps. I ordered my Librem 14 on 07/03/20, confirmed address on 03/26/21, got second confirm email on 03/30/21. I just received my shipping tracking email today 04/22/21. I bought the L14 stock , I only added a privacy screen and the 3 year warranty. Here’s wishing you all get your shipping emails soon.
Cheers
No, I am not referring to the generic newsletter. I contacted support asking for an update and received “should ship in late May”.
Configuration:
Unfortunately, I’ve had to buy another laptop for work.
I ordered 2 July 2020 and so far have not received a shipping notice, but I did receive the initial address validation and the request on what I’d like to do since I ordered 2 storage devices. I have not gotten a follow up on those emails yet. My requested action was emailed twice to them on two separate occasions.
I get they are busy, but I hope I can get an email back with the answer to my request, and that my early order will not be regulated to the rear simply because I ordered 2 drives. (My proposed action was to ship the L14 with the larger battery and the second storage device on the side. Then when the 3 cell battery comes in, I would order that as well.)
This is not a knock on Purism. I know they are busy.
They may have asked for verification for the first few shipping weeks of orders (maybe the first pallet). Once your laptop is configured and packaged they’ll send out the shipping notice and post it.
That could be a problem. I believe they mentioned that it is now difficult to impossible to ship Lithium batteries by air, if shipping them separately, and that they are working on that problem. So your strategy may not be viable.
If you are in the US (or Canada) then you can ignore this post.
Perhaps they could ship the batteries in a small plastic “electronic device” that doesn’t actually do anything.
Like USB-C PD power bank for laptop, where you can switch the 3 cell battery for the 4 cell. This way you would have both M.2 usable and could use the other bigger battery as handy backup.
Sweet, another potential delay!
How did these pass hardware qual? The solder jobs are atrocious… I sure hope Purism is screaming at manufacturers right now…
That looks like it was put together by kids at a junkyard 
that should never have been approved to be shipped in such an atrocious state.
And has the same person or persons been soldering all the rest of the laptops that came in on the pallet for the past week?
Do you know that for sure or is this just speculation? I’d like to give Purism the benefit of the doubt…
Its either that or third parties liberally modified / hacked up the Librem 14 and Purism didn’t notice. Either way… its a hell of a scandal.
Okay, so no direct evidence that Purism made the modifications. Let’s give Purism the benefit of the doubt, like @kafkaesque said, until we know more.
I don’t think this is giving them the benefit of the doubt given their privacy oriented stance. YMMV however.
