The promise was to start shipping on June 18 or soon thereafter:
It will be ready on June 18. After that we will begin to send orders
Yes, then 2 days ago he said:
We talked with the factory. They were very sorry for the delay. We'll get the batch on Friday... 
Cross your fingers!
. I still don't understand who's shipping them: a few posts ago it sounded like the factory was going to drop-ship to customers... but when he says 'we'll get the batch on Friday' maybe they're going back to DM+team first? Man... I'm going on holidays soon and would love to have a miner to play with!
