hmm… I guess I’ll add my DIY config here too.
- i5 Bare with no wifi/ram/storage
- 4x USB-A
- 2x USB-C
Ordered on Sept 1st, and got the batch 4 email on the same day as everyone else (Oct 4). I should add that I did not receive any other emails as of yet.
I checked and it looks like I’m in the Sept 12-20 group (Ordered on Sept 19). No second confirmation email yet.
Sorry, I don’t have an update. My status is still “Pre-Order Confirmed”. I received the second email on the 6th of October. I ordered Sept. 27.
Intel i7-1185G7
Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 vPro®
2 USB-A
1 HDMI
1 MicroSD
1 DP
3 USB-C
1 Storage – 1TB
power supply
32 gb ram (2x16)
Package expected to be delivered today but no tracking update from fedex since it said “Label unreadable” on Friday so according to their tracking its still several states away. Fedex why must you always let me down :\
@Monger3170 still no shipping update for my August 2nd DIY i5.
Given all the posts I’d say the i5’s must represent ~70% of the order volume. I guessed that the higher end CPUs would ship out faster but damn it’s slow going for us lowly plebs.
I’ve also ordered an i7-1185G7 DIY. I’ve received the first and second emails (saying they would charge my account soon), but still no charges. In exactly the same space as @P_bark right now.
I’m hoping I’m charged on Monday, but we’ll see.
It here! 
Got mine 2 days ago and I am obsessed with this thing. I received it and had to show the whole family. Thank goodness this now a thing in 2021!
I am sure all the silly kinks will be worked out in time but it’s been great thus far after running Ubuntu 21.04 with it!
Alright, first impressions. I love it.
I bought the DIY version.
Configuration:
Expansion Cards:
Putting it all together was a snap. If you’ve ever installed ram or an SSD in a laptop, it’s just that. The WiFi antenna leads were small, but I think the worry over them that I’ve see (somone saying plan of it taking 20 minutes?) is overblown. Reading the install guide is by far the longest part of the process. Actually installing took less than two minutes for me. The RAM was normal RAM and the SSM just a normal m.2 drive, easy peasy.
I installed Fedora 34. Then, after booting into it I attached it to my CalDigit TS3+ dock to get internet, installed updates, and rebooted.
Everything seems to be working perfecrtly with zero fiddling. wifi, bluetooth, camera, mic, media/function keys, fingerprint reader, touchpad gestures, sleep, everything I can think of.
(Though I’m having unrelated screen flicking problems with my dock and/or a cable and/or my displays and/or something. :/)
The battery estimator says I’m on track to get just under 8 hours, again with no fiddling done to maximize that.
The only minor gripe I’ve found so far is that the mic & camera kill switches seems to indicate backwards. Behind one half of each it’s colored red, but the red shows when they’re off rather than when they’re on. That just seems completely backwards to me. It’s also a bit weird that on isn’t the same direction on both of them. 
Obviously that’s incredibly minor stuff, so I’m incredibly happy with this laptop.
Dates:
Sept 2 - Ordered
Oct 4 - “We’re preparing to ship your batch!” email
Oct 6 - “We’re preparing to ship your order!” email
Oct 7 - “Your order is shipping soon” email
Oct 7 - “Your order has shipped” email
Oct 10 - Delivered! 
Edit: Also, damn this thing has good sound. I wasn’t expecting that.
This is actually normal or i should say a common configuration 
(weird right?) , ThinkPads have the same configuration for years now.
Super weird. Though, I guess using the UX people are used to is at least excusable. I’m just happy I have a laptop that has switches at all now and I don’t have to put a sticker over the camera (and just hope that the mic isn’t on).

@jimlarck I’m seeing the exact same thing on my end… Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
(I’ve been saying that the last two days… )
Here’s hoping tomorrow brings some positive updates!
@jimlarck I got the same update today 
although it also says my Framework is in a city ~20 minutes away, so who knows how delayed any of our packages actually are
How do you find your expected delivery date?
Never mind, Email went into my junk folder…
I was right!! Finally got charged this morning (received the email at like 2:30am)…now if it would ship today…
This is up thread, but for convienence, I ordered the i7 1185G7 DIY pretty barebones, but needed the wifi chip at well (no vPro) on Sept 29th. Also grabbed a power block, 3 USBC expansion cards and 1 USBA expansion card
I received the email, but my card was not charged.
I ordered the following on Oct 1:
Configuration (DIY):
Expansion Cards:
Plus a power brick.
Got the shipping soon email at 1:47am today and card charged!
