@Jason Stoddard, there is a lot of discussion of back-ordered Eitr shipping time over at the Eitr thread and I see a lot of confusion that I always had about the estimated shipping times on your websites. Maybe you can clarify it here?
Eitr shows "Orders estimated to ship the week of December 8th". Magni 3 shows "ship the week of December 8th" and "ship the week of December 15th" for different orders. But December 8th and 15th are Fridays. A week starts on Monday. What are the seven days meant by those messages? 7 days from Dec. 8th? Monday through Sunday that includes Dec. 8th? People get high hopes after reading those messages. But it's very confusing when it's written "the week of [Friday]".
If I were to say the week of December 11th (Monday), as opposed to the week of December 15th (Friday), then on December 12th we would get a barrage of angry email from people when we didn't ship on the 11th. When we say the week of the 15th then people actually give us the entire week to ship before bombarding us with emails.
We're keeping a pretty conservative shipping target on Magni 3 and we are actually quite a bit ahead of shipping projections. Always under promise and over deliver, especially at Christmas. I updated the Magni 3 status on Saturday. It has our current best estimate.
