Something is not right here. I prefer an honest "we screwed up, wait another 2 weeks" to "oh, now we have them here", "now we are packing them", "now we are sending them".
This doesn't make sense.
just this afternoon I got an email claiming I have not filled out my survey. completely bogus. the only new question (for which they didn't have an answer for) that they had was: "what are going to do with Pin64" to which I replied: "I don't know".
Seems to me they are playing games and they keep throwing confusing stages like lockdown or excuses like "China new year" at people to get away with a genuine and substantial delay. Just come out and say it. you're late. we understand. but you are insulting the intelligence of all the people who helped you with your kickstarter and this this -not- nice.
Here are the photos of recent dispatch.
there are add-ons module in the mail box?

In the mail box packages are either board only or board with Wifi/BT module. Most of the add-on modules still in production phase.

It's true that there has been a small delay of a few weeks, but much less so than most kickstarters, where months, even years of delay are the norm. Ask people who backed Omori where their reward is.
Not sure if there is a delay in people being issued tracking numbers, this part of your post seems valid, as I've not heard of anyone having received their tracking number either. Perhaps Pine64 people are focusing on shifting out units and tracking emails have been put to one side while they try and catch up. An announcement or statement about this situation would be helpful.
And Chinese New Year is not an excuse. It is for some family members the only time of year when they can travel home and spend some time with the rest of their families, before heading off again for another year. Do some research into Chinese New Year, perhaps watch a documentary. It is not an excuse, it's a real thing.

About one third of the early bird pledge already went out on last week and tracking number already provided to our KS team. Seems like they have not provided the tracking number to backers and create this confusion. We are preparing the early bird 2GB board dispatch on this Thursday or Friday. In general, the board only shipment always get dispatch first due to no need to wait for other accessories. The Wifi/BT module, and HDMI cable ready for dispatch. The power supply, both US and global version, Acrylic casing, PoE splitter will arrive on next week. Follow by IR remote, air mouse, camera module, keyboard with USB hub, LiPo battery will arrive on third week of March.
Thanks for that explanation, TL.

I try to post more production info when available and be more transparent. In general, my team handles engineering, production (includes shipping from China facility), and this forum. Johnson team handles marketing/sales (includes shipping from US facility) and KS (include Backerkit) activities.
I think kickstarter tllim don't know he was very successfully , so backers pine64 boards and other add-ons delay too long
what about PINE64 ABS Enclosure and sd card pre loaded?
