I also ordered on the 6th (probably on the late side), got tracking today. Later than I want, but I've been monitoring things and can understand a day here and there.
I think folks are awfully gun-shy with all the scammers everywhere else. The shipping here has been discussed (shipping out in a few days, 2 days to HK - where it gets DHL shipping number, then arrive). I think a day-ish for the time difference and anything unforseen, and we're still on track. People are jumping the gun, IMHO.
It seems that perhaps the initial promise might have been a day or two over enthusiastic, and I don't think people understood the ship-out time and the time-to-HK-for-DHL-tracking. But still, c'mon people. We already saw folks get stuff quickly - it just doesn't seem nearly as quickly when we're waiting for our own stuff...
I bought mine 7pm est time jan 6, hoping for a tracking number soon. Im pretty confident btmine's product will deliver. Just don't see why sellers don't just say 1 week shipping time, if that's what it's gonna take.
