I have an idea, why doesn't the OP team have 200 un-worked cases shipped with a worked-on sample so shipment never slows down. When the sample that comes back as 100% ready for the Chinese company to start pre-working every case then every order from then on will be ordered as pre-worked. I'd just hate to see shipments just stop for weeks and weeks while samples go back and fourth. I'll understand if this is just not feasible for any reason, Chinese can't ship that few or Craig just can't pay people to assemble non pre-worked cases right now, but it's a thought.
Apparently, they ran out of boards recently, and MWeston and ED don't go back home until Wednesday/Thursday. Since they supposedly had 1000 cases, this is probably exactly what they will be doing - fixing up the remaining 300 cases ready for new PCBs to arrive. With Craig taking a break Thursday-Sunday inclusive, I don't know if the case fixing will be finished or continue on Monday, but they don't seem to be scratching around looking for something to do.
