"Hey folks - Jack here! I wanted to give you all an update on everything. All of the plates have been produced and are being packaged, and the milled bottoms are just about done - the black ones should be back early next week (6/20), and the clears are going to the anodiser soon (no firm date on their return yet, but my guess is around 6/30).
This is a little different than what we described earlier - it looks like the purple cases were moved up ahead of the clears. The black and clear bottoms will take a little longer than our projected completion date, and that's mostly due to the fact that this is the first run that Massdrop is fulfilling, and my suppliers getting used to what all's needed for that - we're trying to minimize the amount of work that Massdrop will need to do at the warehouse so they can ship things out quickly.
The PCBs are completed and programmed, and are being packaged now - these too are taking a little longer than expected, partially because of the packaging for the warehouse, but also because the quote we got when arranging things didn't take into account the programming (approving the first articles and everything), and the custom packaging. All of the PCBs will be done by 6/24, but that includes the Planck and the Preonic, and the ones I'm getting for the store, which are a lower priority than the ones Massdrop is receiving - in fact, they've already gotten 300 of the Planck PCBs!
Thanks for your patience! All in all, things are moving much smoother than last run, and once all the parts come in, the shipping should go much faster than when I was doing it :)"

Expect another update from us on 6/29 or sooner if something comes up.

PeterKWas there a clear milled bottom option for this drop? This is a surprise, I didn't see the option before when I joined. Or did Jack mean silver bottoms?
