...with the week added for the moulds and other stuff to go yet, is October/November still a reasonable expectation?

Yea I hate waiting for shipping too. Don't we need to wait for the first 100 to be shipped and tested before the rest of us people get our Pandoras.

I don't think that's the case any more.Shaun. said:

Oh, I should give newcomers some background. 
A few months back, the idea was raised of sending out the fist 100 boards for a few weeks of field testing / abuse, which might uncover any remaining issues before the entire first batch shipped. The discussion that erupted around it was lively to say the least. But it was just an idea. The MWeston post I linked above was a response to the discussion.
They didn't do a test run of 105 boards so they could ship them early; they did it because it wouldn't be sensible to run off 4,000 boards without ensuring that the manufacturing process is solid. The idea of shipping them early came after that. But chances are that by the time the cases are ready, there will be hundreds if not thousands of boards ready to go too. So no significant delay between the first 100 and the rest
I'm basing this on a post that's a couple of months old though, so don't take it as gospel or anything. That's just how I have interpreted what's going on.

We have been told that due to a Chinese holiday the cases might be delayed from being delivered by 8 days.
At least having 10,000 means it will be a while before we need anymore.

Remember it only *might* be delayed. However, what I am curious about is which Chinese Holiday? The only one I saw is this:
But this is still 2.5 weeks away. This leaves a ton of questions. Eight days from when? Are people just taking off early for this event? If this holiday starts Oct 1st, that means they wouldn't be able to ship the cases until Oct 5th, the earliest, right?
I do understand you qualified your statement with *might* delay the shipment. But how I look at it, there is still 13 business days for them to make the cases and ship them. I suppose there is a threshold somewhere, like Sept 24th. *IF* they finish the molds by Sept 24th, there shouldn't be a delay. However, if it goes past that day, everyone is going on holiday and then we are looking at Oct 5th.
This is just assumption.

Weird, the next holyday (chon chun chie) (or however it is spelled as i never learned to write))is at the end of september, so WTF? and yeah 1 October is National Day.
so i dont see why there should be delay unless the production does take down to these days, and therefore panda gets delayed once more.
how large is this packet going to be? and is it gonna be sent via?.
((10 000 * 1.15 * 30) / 3 600) / 24 = 3.993055.
at this point im more worried about customs stuff, if they just hooked up any packet the project would be stuck for a while.
