    I don't mean this to be rude, but could you guys start a separate M1330 Canadian shipping thread, like those in the UK did?
    It's just that we're all anxious, and figuring out if and when these things are going to ship is hard enough without mixing shipping schedules of two different countries. If I recall correctly, some Canadian orders originally had a shipping date of the 20th or so. So canadian orders moving into build status is no surprise. The earliest original US shipping date I've seen is the 28th. The fact that some of these people are already moving into build status is news.

    I agree, it's not that Canada is less important or anything. Just that I believe you have completely different manufacturing line and the shipping dates do not really apply to US Customers. It will be more beneficial to both sides if we keep it separate (yet equal :D).

    I'm really confused here. I ordered my M1330 on June 27th, in the morning, and mine has been "In Production" since that very same day my payment cleared.

    If you are a US customer... call 1-800-433-9014 and the system will tell you a more detailed status.

    "In production" also includes "Pre-Production"....

    so it might be stuck there...
