Same situation here, hopefully they ship if they don't then I don't know 0.98 BTC is a lot for me... People say in some cases you get your miner to your door before they even update the shipping info or its already halfway there before you receive the tracking #. If this is the case I have no problem with the lack of order status updates or email replies.

Either way my order wen't from expired to paid so we are on the right track and I have no problem giving bitmaintech more time considering the problems caused by the blockchain outage.
