I order the original CHIP at end of May, and I still haven't received it today, it was supposed to ship by June. They kept getting delayed. Latest update is that the shipping is for November. Can't help but suspect they are doing this on purpose to wait for price drop on the components to sustain the business.

I was a part of the Kickstarter, got mine roughly when promised.

If you've ever been involved in electronics manufacturing in moderate volumes, it usually ends up being more episodic than planned.

just to provide a counterpoint, i have received mine on time (original promised date). although, they're still sitting around waiting for my next big idea(tm)!
I got mine during the June shipment, not quite sure how/when I ordered mine, however.
