I have not yet received tracking information or a delayed shipping to May, only shipping address message (26 March), my address confirmation in the same day and feedback from support (6 April). I back-ordered on 7 July with payment finalized on 10 July.
I fear to receive such a delay as @ytihjafsbczpelrmqr since in the shop now they write:
Orders placed today ship June 2021.
I guess otherwise if other options for L14 are influencing shipping date, other than 3-cell battery; I ordered only one storage but other options. @ytihjafsbczpelrmqr have you ordered big storage, big RAM and a bundle like me?
I ordered mid August and havenât received anything yet. Iâm guessing May delivery now.
The website changing to orders âplaced today arriving in Juneâ is an update over the last 48 hours or so.
I got my tracking number this morning, ordered 2020/07/02. I guess folks who ordered after the first day havenât quite been reached yet. Iâm sure they have a lot of orders to get through on the first few days.
@ytihjafsbczpelrmqr I think the email youâre 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.
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. Hereâs wishing you all get your shipping emails soon.
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 Iâd 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.
full disclosure - I flipped flopped on cancelling it twice. That might be what has my order regulated anywhere.
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 theyâll 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.
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.
Okay, so no direct evidence that Purism made the modifications. Letâs give Purism the benefit of the doubt, like @kafkaesque said, until we know more.
