Jeff, actually I have not received any replies from the HiFiman in China yet. Are they still figuring out how to ship these headphones?

I'll PM you the tracking number once the factory ships it.

It's a shame information is not a bit more forthcoming. This isn't pointed at you Jeff; I know you pass on what they provide.

Ah, but think of this way. It'd be much worse if I were not here. :P

I can only apologize for the wait, since my work is only as fast as the largest bottleneck, which is currently on their end, meaning things like time zone differences and Chinese sense of time come into play.

All the orders that have been paid for have been processed. I honestly don't know what's holding back the factory from shipping out the units like...yesterday. My contact hasn't actually responded to email for about a day and a half now.

Figured that was the case Jeff. I'll just assume they're being very deliberate in vetting each headphone / accessories to insure they're production quality. Course, they may have found some last minute issues - but we'll hope not.

Would this be related? It's a long weekend here. May 1 is a public holiday.

Chinese Labor Day? It's possible. I tried pushing them to ship before that though...

Yeah May 1 is huge, usually 3 days minimum vacation.

No courier companies work 5/1 to 5/3, China customs is also closed, so if it wasn't sent out don't expect anything before 5/4.

Upside is that if they are putting this much attention into the betas, we won't have to worry about getting a production unit, we'll get the special units!
