Pinebook Pro & PinePhone shipping progress (2020)

[tomm87]

Received DHL shipping notice today, expected delivery 6/22

You'll quite possibly receive it tomorrow.  My initial DHL Express ETA was one week from shipping, then they emailed the next morning & said "Your package is scheduled for delivery TODAY".

As for the people stuck on Asendia, my Pinephone Braveheart shipped via Asendia and it got here eventually.

The biggest joke was my new Nalgene bottle.  It had to fight its way across the country.  UPS tracking said, "Civil unrest has delayed your package in transit."  Then they went into PC mode and changed it to "Civil demonstration", but that's not what it said to begin with.

"Delivery will be rescheduled. Check back for updates. Your package has been delayed due to events beyond our control. We're adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible."

And I'm looking at the tracking, thinking, "You do realize that's just my new pee bottle?"

The exact same thing happened to me (DHL notice, not pee bottle): Yesterday (Monday June 15) I got an email from DHL saying delivery was scheduled for June 22, then today another email saying it was coming today! I'm skeptical, because according to Luke the current sub-batch shipments only just started leaving Hong Kong this week (which I assume means just yesterday). Does anyone know what to make of this implausible change in delivery date?   Are other people getting these too-good-to-be-true changes?

Replying to myself... I think it really is coming today. I looked at the detailed tracking history, and it shows it leaving Hong Kong yesterday, arriving in Los Angeles the same day (with some help from time zones), and leaving Seattle with a courier early this afternoon. I live less than 100 miles from Seattle, so it's practically here already.
