Just learned this too. 
Best of luck for your order.

I buckled and watched a Youtube video about Discourse, it turns out if you select some text you can also quote reply!

Has anyone from The Netherlands received a “step 3” e-mail yet?

Jawel!

It is even easier: Just highlight the text passage you’d like to quote and a magic button will appear. And now I learned that pressing “q” also does the trick.

I did order it with the charger, plus a 500GB SN750, 32GB RAM and 6 Expansion Cards. I thought about removing the SSD and charger to speed things along but now I think I’ll leave it alone

I received my email this morning (8:32 AM - Chicago) stating that my order is being prepared. I placed my order on 29 July 2022.
I did order the Power Adapter and a couple expansion cards additionally.
I will share the status as my order progresses.
I am hoping my friend (from the thread) @Varg has received an updated order status.

Just got charged and received the preparing to ship email. 1240p, ordered July 6th. I got both delay notices as well, so I’m pretty thrilled that I technically got to complete the order within the original batch window. Best wishes to everyone still waiting.
I’m still sitting in the dark, though on the bright side, I now find that the shipping time for me is not as critical as it was a few days ago. I have the whole of September to spare now before a lack of a (Performant) Laptop becomes a real issue 
The new Race, however, is still very much on!
Best Regards,
Varg

Phenomenally quick shipping. I don’t know how much it costs Framework to ship with FedEx International Priority, but it’s a very smart move to give the user a hugely positive final direct interaction with the company.

Thanks. Back to normal this morning and in Indianapolis.

From the sound of things based on the emails, Framework partners with a final assembly and shipping facility in Taiwan. Basically these plants just perform the final packaging of all the other components that were produced elsewhere. I worked with one such facility at my first job and pretty much they prioritize their ordering based off the biggest fish. So if you are the small fry and someone like a OnePlus (just an example) comes in with the same deadline as you, you will get bumped till OP is guaranteed to meet their deadline. Much better to anger the smaller of the two to ensure the bigger orders come back. We had a very similar thing happen to us with an order of 500 custom arm based boards getting delayed about 3 weeks due to assembly conflict in the final leg of production.
