I also ordered in January 2019, but from what I’ve seen estimates point to the purchase density not being linear and in turn order date is less important than order number for those of us farther out.
Based on the non-official estimates I’ve seen once we get past the November 2017 orders we should start seeing months of orders go out instead of days. It appears that there is a much higher order density in the first 90 days of orders than all of 2018.

right first 3 months were generating 1k orders a month, while three next years were generating 1k orders a year (very rough approximation). So if we take 500 phones a month (shipment) that would make 6 months (5, one already passed) to cover backlog. Give or take for speed increase / order volume increase after Q3’19.

I ordered in August
I see with happines that the order date of people who got their mail (here 28th of September) is coming closer and closer to mine (October 7).

welcome to Patience, Colorado !
Just got my estimate a few minutes ago. mid-October 17 turns to “May”.
Some early October-orderers seem to be still waiting, but that might be a matter of minutes or hours.
Also, in the matrix channel, Kyle just said
it looks like now that we have paired CPUs with customers, that the shipping estimates will extend through orders placed on Oct 20 2017 *

Just got my email.
Ordered: 10/09
Expected: April
Feels pretty anti-climactic.

What’s your estimate? You are right ahead of me.
Still about 500 phones /month. Pretty disappointing.

Perhaps Purism don’t want to overpromise anymore…

Well… these are labeled as reliable estimates…
Just was informed about estimated shipping in April, my order date is October 7, 2017. There is light at the end of the tunnel

Like @guru, I ordered 7 Oct, 2017, and I just got my estimated shipping for April! Therefore, at least they’re internally consistent

That’s an April-foolish way of calculating that

I am so frustrated that I want to eat the table in front of me!
I ordered at the end of September 2017 and have not yet received the confirmation email from PURISM. When I saw on the forum that people who had ordered at the same time as me had received the confirmation email, I thought that something was wrong.
I sent a message to support@puri.sm and they confirmed that they had sent the email to the address used when ordering but that it had been returned.
In fact, they didn’t take into account the email address change I made last year on shop.puri.sm/my-account/ (My former email provider closed his service last year).
Because of this silliness, it looks like I lost a month… but what’s one month out of years of waiting, you may ask…
Well, it will be better tomorrow! Tonight, I’m angryyyy!

Thay were saying before (about the post address) that such change only influences the new orders, not the old ones. So it’s good you contacted them.
