Maybe they're shipping following order date....which seems fair

That's down to the retailers isn't it? Chord just ships out the allocated stock to retailers in no particular order, or where the company sees highest demand.

Appears our Czech friends are the most eager

Good to hear there appears to be some movement. Keep us posted.

I find it strange that chord would ship to other European sellers first, yet the ones in uk have no news when it comes to stock.

Considering it's a British company based in the UK

Find it hard to believe myself, but that is the word I got... maybe major UK shops are getting stocked as we speak...

Wouldn't bet on that myself, it is mighty expensive here. I myself am pretty anxious about this investment, and I really hope I will be able to tell the difference between H2 and mojo, which I learned to love recently with Hifimans.

Spoken to my (well known uk) retailer. He had no word from chord as to when to expect the first batch.

Now that is really strange. Either is my dealer pulling my leg (or is not correctly informed- bummer in both cases) or Chord has very interesting supply preferences (in which case I wouldn't be the one complaining).
Either way I will keep you informed, and should I get lucky, I will post a quick impression and a picture or three. I should get an info tomorrow, whether they got the goods.

Maru, may I ask when you placed your order? I placed mine on 15th Feb and told by my UK dealer Hugo 2 will be with me by the end of next week.

 

[Azurik]

Either way. Couldn't care less who gets one first as long as they finally get sent out and we get some decent first impressions (which will probably make the wait even harder)

To them. Should arrive tomorrow, and Friday is the day I'll bring the baby home from the shop!

Great news, congratulations. Let us know when you have it!

Mid April. From the beginning, delivery sate was unsure, but I got news today that their shipment was disatched...

Being skeptical at the monent, but I will let you know tomorrow either way...

Fingers crossed for you. Your feedback will interest many of us.
I have just received an email stating availablility June 9th, so it looks like things are moving for the rest of us as well.

After having told me they would be shipping on Monday 22nd May, I emailed my UK dealer on that day and he said he had been told that they would be shipping this week. I preordered in January, about a week after the CES announcement. For some strange reason, I find myself not expecting to receive my Hugo 2 this week.

You must be one of the earliest pre-orders.
