It'll say that until it says shipped. I guess it means it's waiting to be picked and shipped. From what I understand the warehouse is a sort of jungle where the various Fractal units roam about and the employees have to set up traps or chase them down and quickly get them into boxes.
They're quick little things and can be hard to catch. Means they have one cornered though and about to get it into the box.
FYI, AdminM is not Cliff, he is Matt...FractalAudio is Cliff........Customers are frustrated, but I don't think everyone appreciates how frustrating it is for FAS as well. They want to sell a product that they can't produce..
Admin M@: "UPDATE: Now entering the end of July.
Invitations will be slowing down for about two weeks while we wait to re-supply. We're all sick of this global electronics parts shortage. I learned today that some capacitors are going at auction for 50x what their price was 3 years ago."
Cliff, thanks for posting this update.
I work in the computer industry and although we don't manufacture at board level, we haven't noticed any shortages or lack of availability of computer hardware - including logic boards, modems etc.. At least not yet.... So I'm very curious why audio equipment seems to be so affected by this capacitor shortage. Is there something very specific about these capacitors, or is it that other companies are much larger and have more leverage when sourcing parts? Or should I be preparing myself for an impending lack of availability on computer hardware as well?
What a bummer

Well said, and I agree.
