A (slight) shipping delay - an explenation + details
Thanks folks for the additional information about tracking numbers and emails.

I completely understand that. I ordered on the basis that the store page said 'orders received now will make the end of December shipment.' I had no warning about ansi keyboards being delayed as much as they were until I started digging through community stuff some time later.

I am heavily time constrained mid February till June. I won't be able to receive shipments at any personal addresses. (Won't have one in that time). So if the order didn't make January cut, I would have to reroute the laptop to my business address, some 500 miles away. And then drive there to pick it up, as I won't have a way to forward it from that location. Factoring in the cost of gasoline, I would rather cancel the order if that is the case.

Entirely the reason I bought the device. I need a Unix laptop for my work. ARM and form factor are only a bonus.

However, with the above information, If I can't get one by mid 2020 or have to drive 500 miles to pick it up, there is no point in me getting one. I will be getting a 7nm AMD laptop around mid 2020 anyway. So I only really need a PBP for 6 months and possibly future ARM compiling. The later of which could really be done on any sbc.



Anyway, my question regarding notification was answered. I'll keep waiting as long as possible.
