Given lead times, if the Dec/Jan ship date was not BS, then parts would already have already been in transit before primary covid impacts were in place. OK, that was missed.
I understand these are not normal times. And I live in Santa Clara County, understand current density and watch county #s (and Health Orders being ignored by the public). That they aren't shipping on time now seems most immediately attributable to covid, agreed. That this is the case is seems a result of either failure to deliver or failure to honestly communicate last year. We're now reaching the window of the most recent round of delivery promises, yet I don't know anyone, including those who fronted cash a year ago on a Nov date, who has even gotten final pricing yet. Hence my frustration. I not only am impatient about getting the Shiny (surprise), I feel deceived about how it has been handled by someone sitting on thousands of dollars of my cash.
