Hi guys, just a PSA - watchout if your precious Framework is shipping through FedEx.

Once mine shipped from Taiwan I requested they hold it at a shipcenter for me to pick up instead of dropping it off at my front door.

They ignored it and delivered it to my address. I was out of town for a day, so I was nervous the whole day just hoping it wouldn't get stolen.

Luckily it was still there when I got home. Also it took 7 days to ship, as it got held up at customs.

It took me like 20 minutes, because I was looking closely at every packaging and enjoying the process of putting it together.

But yeah, it was quick and easy and installing windows, drivers and updating bios was flawless. I was expecting it to be more difficult and problematic.

Also I adore the tiny thoughtful details like the little loop on the keyboard ribbon cable to put your finger through.

Patience young grasshopper. FW16 won't be released for another couple of weeks. I doubt anyone outside of Framework has the motherboard dimensions in order to design a case.

I'm on day 7 as well, but it looks like it should be delivered today.

Yeah, mine is now at customs in Winnipeg as well. How has yours been there?

From Taiwan to Western Canada through Alaska, through Tennessee? FedEx works in mysterious ways.
