Oh yeah, this is all about the waiting game. You'll really try your patience here.

Welcome to Geekhack!

A certain amount of patience is usually needed when joining group buys.

However in the case of Granite the wait will definitely be worth it :)

The Granite drop has finished, the order is being processed, it's just the waiting game now.

From my experience Massdrop are quite good with the communication - regular status update emails, and then finally that "your order has been shipped" notification!

Hi!   I've had to stop myself a few times from ordering a KB Paradise v60.  I couldn't stand how great they look paired with an acrylic case  ;D
