Did you put the tape on top of the screw or at the end to extend the thread a bit?
same issue here. it seems like a thing that occasionally happens for whatever reason. according to this: Clearance Delay Club - #18 by HReflex you can contact support after two business days. just sent a support ticket so we’ll see how that goes

On top of the screw so it does not loosen itself.
Ignore the thermal pad, that was, before I’ve seen, that framework already applied a small stripe to the middle plate.

Not in the current political climate. But I can’t work out why whatever is in China doesn’t get flown to the Phillipines to then fly on to India/Dubai/Europe.
I don’t believe it counts as such when it is still in customs quarantine. But realistically the ‘visit’ to Germany is probably just customs paperwork clearance before the physical item arrives.
Looks like some laptops are currently at Alaska, delayed by the customs. These delays are usually resolved in a few days and there is no need for you take any actions on your end, our logistics team is monitoring all shipments.

OK, after an Afternoon and half the evening, I’m overall satisfied. Installed Windows 11, modified with Rufus, installed all drivers and updates so far, Stellarium, VLC, Everything search and a few more programs.
While I think, there is room for improvement, like said NVME screws, the performance is great, I’ve run Firestrike (normal, not extreme or ultra) and the 780m scored 8200 points, not bad. Also more than 6000 in Wildlife extreme (finally unlocked a new achievement for me lol).
The temperatures are OK on the GPU part, for now not higher than 83°C. The CPU nearly hit 100°C in 7zip benchmark, but that was to be expected. But I think that’s ok for 75MB/s compressing and 1,2GB/s decompressing.
As for the cons:
- NVME Screws and/or nuts!
- Spacer/Touchpad slightly bent

Fedex is trying to say I’ll get it today somehow after clearing customs and leaving at 4
But based on my best guess of the flight I can only assume they are going to drop it out the plane window while they pass by.
Mine is with yours and giving the same estimation. I kept looking back at the estimated time trying to figure out how that woukd even work
It still says Monday 6pm, but it was loaded into the delivery vehicle at 6:29am today near nuremberg, which is 1 hour away from me. I hope he doesn’t drive it until monday 
Rufus can modify windows?
It can disable the need for TPM and network configuration during setup. It’s even recommended to use in the DIY setup guide, because windows setup has no integrated driver for the wifi card, at least not yet.

Nice! Looks like you will get yours probably today.
Mine arrived in Munic at 5:15 and the status now says “On the way - MUNIC”. Doesn’t say anything about a delivery truck, and because I don’t think that the truck will drive from Munic to me (I live on the border between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg), I guess my laptop will go to another logistics center near my location and then get loaded onto a delivery truck on friday.
Can’t this be fixed by slipstreaming the driver (creating a modified Windows ISO that has the driver bundled inside)? Or are wifi drivers more complicated than that?
You could also have a look at the FedEx tracking page. I just today found out that is a bit more detailed than the one from the Framework email.
It also says that the estimated arrival for me is today 
Mine arrived in the UK yesterday evening and is now scheduled to get to me within the next two hours!
In case it’s interesting, mine seems to have been in the later shipment (sent on Monday, not Friday) and it showed as going:
- Taiwan
- Philippines
- Guangzhou
- New Delhi
- Dubai World Central
- Paris Charles De Gaulle
- London Stansted
so no funky import/export between France and Germany on my side.
I’m a bit worried about it being left on my doorstep as I work from home but need to head out in half an hour, but my doorstep is in the city centre so is very obviously not a safe place, and I share the same front door with several neighbours, so I’m hoping it’ll be waiting in the hallway when I get home!

That should work, too. Can NTlite do that I the free edition?
