Storytime: As part of moving to another city, I put a chest freezer on an auction platform, specifying that it must be picked up from my location. While that auction ran its course, I minded offline and online services and updated my address to the new address so that letters would already arrive at my new location. Now came the day where somebody would come pick up the freezer. Which address do you think did the auction platform give them where it could be picked up?

Well the Librem 5 is not another 'widget in a warehouse'. It was always going to be a long wait to delivery, due to the enormity of the undertaking. This was not a surprise to anyone. Addresses will need to be updated after order in this case! Every implementation is different.
Consider the scenario where right from the start they accepted the shortcomings of their system for this use-case.
