How fast does it normally take Audeze to process an order? I want my pads!

I'm telling you, we should have drove down... in trafficto boot!
I haven't even gotten off work. Probably closed by now.
Status says payment received but seems like they are in no hurry to ship it out...
Worse, it's the front-end of a weekend... "We'll leave it for Monday."
Congrats on the gig, though!
@brunk and Potterma,
Thanks to both of you. brunk thanks for the great illustration! Yes. It is as I expected. I am not sure why it is not flat, as it should be. The biggest problem is because the ring is not flush, it moves in and out while wearing which produces a plastic on plastic noise. I can speculate either fake(I don't think so), bad QC(I hope not), this pair has been repaired or modified(likely). I will contact Hifiman and see if it is possible some of their rejects escaped their factory. That does happen over here, or if they have refurbished some. Their factory is near, so it is possible.
The sound is what I would have expected. I must say they certainly bring out any flaws in the source, unlike the HD650 which seem to mask them in extra bass. The music is kind of naked and pure. There is bass and very deep, but very tight and not emphasized at all. The mids and highs seem perfectly accurate. I am no pro, so not able to describe well what I hear, but I can imagine with a more powerful amp these would be unbelievable, especially for classical. I just listened to some piano, cello, and violin from a 24/192 source and nothing is missing.
I appreciate everyone's help. I do not think I am dealing with fakes, but likely a pair that have been worked on or rejects. But I will say, from what I have seen in the past day, both here and elsewhere, Hifiman could do a much better job at manufacturing consistency. The color has changed from part to part, I am sure. I saw a purple hue pair, live. Mine are not. And some have no black material between the outer grill and driver, some do, it seems. Mine do.
considering the first watt f3 again.....
but not sure if it will provide enough power into the HE-6 and whether it will be improvement over GSX MK2 or not.
i been thinking of selling he-6 and just sticking he-500, but i can't deny it, the he-500 sounds better in mids and whatnot right now somewhat cause its better powered, but the he-6 is clearly a huge step up in everything, transparency, naturalness, accuracy, timbre, and most of all....the bass. the he-6 has the tightest deepest most true to the recording bass i've heard. it has just the perfect amounts of everything and seems the most visceral and tactile bass out of any headphone, it just sounds so controlled and clean. only the LCD-2 and LCD-X have comparable bass and better slam, but its still different than that of the HE-6. basically, i think the HE-6 would be my favorite headphone and my true end game if i can find a perfect amp for it that has no limitations. like on all my recordings, the bass always stands out with the he-6 i just hear it so cleanly and it doesn't muddy anything up, the decay is faster and better than any of my other headphones.
