There is info also in the last update: https://www.pine64.org/2021/02/15/february-update-show-and-tell/

I'm quoting from there:

Quote:As some of you are aware, we ran into issues with DHL shipments in late January and early February. Long story short, we effectively had to reship an entire palette of KDE CE PinePhones twice due to a DHL error. This threw a wrench into our schedule;

Quote:As I mentioned in the opening bit of this blog entry, CNY is now upon us and there will be no manufacturing or shipping activity until late February. All Pine Store contractors in Malaysia, China and Hong Kong are now enjoying time off with their families and close ones (where permissible, of course, given COVID19 is still rampant). To those of you awaiting a response from the support or info teams, please be aware that you will not receive a reply until after CNY. If you have an urgent query concerning your shipping or order status, i.e., a query which cannot wait, then please reach out to me or one of the moderators in our chats.

I've no doubt that these updates are somewhere, I've looked thought the forums and read the posts. As I said, I'm a customer who has exchanged money for a goods, if I had received the product and began making excuses for the reasons I couldn't pay, would that be acceptable? No it wouldn't; there's no argument there. What if the understanding was that I would receive the product and pay later but then my car broke down and I had to get it fixed, what would be appropriate then? Would you be upset if I owed you 224$ and you hadn't hear from me in a month? What if you text me, asking about the money I owe you and I blew you off? What would you think of me then? Can I go a dig through the forums to locate a scrap of information regarding a high dollar order I've placed, I certainly can. But the question here isn't can I, it's should I. I have and email, and it's near free to use. I'm not asking for a phone to be sent over to me on Airforce one, I'm asking for an email with some updates. Some information on how this deficiency will be addressed. And to dgdimick, I don't appreciate your aggressive and insulting tone. You do not know me, nor do you know what sorts of experience I have in this realm. I'd ask that you limit your assumptions to zero and simply reply to the words I've written because nothing more can, or should, be inferred, thank you. I didn't fund a kick starter here, I purchased a product.

USPS for example is notorious for screwing up and losing peoples mail. Though Pine64 should do some research on the companies before doing business with them and make them own up if they screw up. Amazon even called their asses out for holding courier services back.
