Quick update: customs clearance complete and domestic tracking is now live. It says r2.5 cases shall arrive to me at the end of this week. My domestic life is a bit busy with the holiday prep right now, but I'll try to turn the anodized cases around within just a few days of arriving to me, and get the last batch of cases destined for powder coat off to the shop before they go on holiday break.
After following up with the logistics company, it turns out that the trans-Pacific shipment took more than twice as long as it was supposed to due to some snafu in how they partitioned the weight between pallets, causing it to be broken up into two shipments that went in sequence rather than together. As always when things take longer than the estimates I was originally given by vendors, my apologies that I couldn't ship sooner. But at least I'll be getting most of these out before the end of the year, and the remaining r2.5 powder colors hopefully soon(ish) thereafter.
