We express air freight all our switches. There were manufacturing delays, but we finally just received our first batch. We already sent out a handful of orders today before FedEx did their last round of pick ups. More will be sent out tomorrow. A few early order customers should also be receiving their orders tomorrow/Monday.
We've instructed Gateron to ship out switches in smaller batches so we receive the switches earlier, instead of in bulk. This way orders are sent out faster and it prevents a large batch of switches getting stuck in China due to lockdowns that keep occurring.

Cool. Thanks for the update.

Got my 40g Clickiez and love them! So close to the perfect modern Alps replacement - if they could have just that little bit less tactility to match SKCM Blue/Orange they'd be my main switch going forward for sure.
I've had an issue with the return force on the space bar though - using a KAT space bar (weighing about 9 grams) it gets stuck on the way up quite a lot. It might be something to do with stab alignment as it's not as bad using a heavier SA spacebar that I have, though it still feels somewhat sluggish with that, but the KAT spacebar is fine with other switches. I'm using a linear switch for space instead now anyway, which I tend to prefer so not a big deal for me.
Ultra-tactile mode is a nice novelty (I like having one on Escape) but pretty much unusable for typing I think. Linear is ridiculously light. I haven't bothered with more than one switch on either yet.
Hasn't felt like lubing is necessary but maybe will at some point. I do wonder if lubing the tactile leaves will reduce tactility in a good way or not. Hard to tell without doing a full board and it wouldn't be easy to reverse.
Definitely in the market for reduced-tactility leaves if they come out. I feel like you'd have to have one a lot less tactile in order to have a normal amount of tactility with the leaf in the non-clicky position.

Thanks for the input, especially the space bar issue. When did you order yours? I got a shipping notification late April but there haven't been any updates to it.

Ordered mid-Jan and got the shipping notification April 27th. Arrived in the UK just over a week later.

Good to know. I ordered in February, so I guess there may just still be a backlog.
