I received an update on my Desk order an hour ago at ~1700GMT
"Hi there. Your recent order on BITMINE has been completed. Your order details are shown below for your reference:
Order: #10xx" (80 < xx < 95)
and my order status on my bitmine.ch account has changed from "Processing" to "Completed".
Just FYI
ps. Dunno my queue number because I never asked, but I had completed payment within about 10 minutes of the preorder queue opening on Sept. 9th.
e
how many bonus modules?
Looks like one, so 20%?

Just one - I can`t follow this for such a delay... seems it`s again a typical bitmine-calculation.
So they say finally that it`s just 2 weeks (TM) late? WTF
It could even be just 1 week, since 200GH is the smallest increment they can make. I have to say, I've been very tranquil about this whole delay -- it's a familiar routine by now since this was the 5th company I've preordered from and they were all late (Avalon Batch 2, Feb BFL orders, megabigpower August Kit + October modules, KnC (1st batch, not delivered until 29th Oct), bitmine).
That said, this is disappointing. Without getting into review of emails, blog posts, or etc, my original anticipated delivery date in my own head was around Dec 16th. Definitely shipping by Dec. 31st, however. Give them until the end of that week, and that's Fri, Jan 3. So this is 52 days after that. Take 10 days off for the allowed lateness and we have 42; round down to the nearest multiple of 10 and we're at 40 days, or 40%.
All in all, I think two modules would have been within the letter of the agreement, and three or four would have been closer to the spirit of the original dates and marketing tone.
