May 13 Update:
Shipping labels have now been created for all group buy orders.
The orders containing wrist rests are getting an additional layer of packaging and those are already here and being boxed up.
A quick note on the wrist rests:
Since the material is softer than Dodici's aluminum, they are susceptible to micro scratching when placed against the keyboard.
If you have not used a polycarbonate product like this before, it is recommended that you place it gently up against the keyboard without rubbing or sliding up and down the aluminum case.

May 27 Update:
Tracking has been updated on a few additional orders.
The last batch of GB units were scheduled for pickup yesterday but nobody showed up. Unfortunately, this isn't unusual for scheduled pickups at the end of the week and before a holiday.
Hopefully these will be picked up soon after Monday's holiday (Memorial Day here in the US).
ExtraPriusPlease is doing a build stream of his Merisi Dodici today.
