Based on our shipping throughput right now it still looks like we will be able to hit shipping parity in June, which would mean an order placed today would ship in June. By the way sometimes people interpret phrases like “in June” to mean “June 1st” which is not accurate or realistic. It means “sometime in June” to give us plenty of room for adjustments depending on the realities on the ground. Is it possible that shipping parity may slip a few weeks? Maybe, it will depend on how fast we can ship through the backlog and whether there are any hiccups along the way that we can’t predict. But in any case that’s our plan.
Of course we continue to get new orders and as we do (and as time progresses) at some point we will either reach shipping parity and update the shop to say “ships in 10 business days” [this means shipping parity] or depending on the volume of new orders we may have to adjust it to say “orders placed today ship in July” instead. So the sooner someone places their order, the earlier in line they are.
If we do update it to say “July” I expect some folks in the forum will misinterpret that to mean their past orders will ship in July (this happens each time we update the shop), but the shop simply provides our best estimate on when a new order placed right then will ship. It’s not an estimate of when any past orders will ship.
