So I reached out to the business email, andā¦well Iām just gonna share the conversation
Seeing it has been 90 business days and I havenāt received any shipping notice, I would like to ask you about the status of my order as per below. Are there any estimates on when will my order be shipped? Have there been any issues you needed to adress which could result in shipping delay? I would appreciate some specific information.
Thank you.
Regards,
Zeth
To which I got the generic:
Hi,
Sorry for the waiting.
There will be about 4 more batches to go before yours.
Best regards.

Not being satisfied with the nothingburger, I tried to prod Alex for more information:
Hi Alex,
Iām sorry but that doesnāt really tell me much, so Iāll follow up with a few more questions to clarify if you donāt mind:
How many units is one batch?
How long does it usually take on average to process one batch?
Is the processing time affected by other factors, such as availability of Compute Modules/4G expansion boards?
Thank you for taking your time to answer these questions, the information might help me better understand the process so I can explain it further to other members on the forums.
Regards,
Zeth
I think these would help right? Sadly we have another nothingburger of an answer, the likes of which have been seen here in one way or the other:
We are working on a batch at this moment. Since the supply condition is getting better, we expect the production to be constant.
We are trying to maintain a 3~5-batch-a-month schedule.
The production is relying on supply of the parts, mostly the metal parts.
Best regards.
Alex
Iād say that the last sentence in particular is the only valuable nugget of information. Not exactly the kind of answer I was looking for, knowing how much constitutes a batch would greatly help here, but since others already tried different approaches only to get same exact result, it would be insanity for me to continue prying.
Oh well, I already missed two deadlines I cared about, and I highly doubt Iāll get it before christmas. So Iāll just try not to think about it, and carry on as I were.
