I hope there was a misunderstanding about it but judging by the info the CS guys have now (they have a list now of ordered boards in date order), they were pretty adamant that there were five boards that came in and I'm ninth in the order queue with a order date of the 2nd October so there and three people before me in the queue that are also waiting for a board.
Tbh this does make some sense as when I ordered mine I paid for next day delivery so even if they came in late on Wednesday they should have shipped by yesterday whether they are busy or not, that's why I phoned them in the first place to get them to ship it based on what delivery I paid for only to be told there wasn't a board allocated in stock to me and then the lengthy discussion about my position in the queue.
