Got this e-mail from ASM today:

"Your order is marked "Artwork Approved" on June 22, 2006. We are approx 10-12 weeks from the date of the artwork being approved. You should be looking at the beginning / mid-September."

I placed and paid for the order on April 20th. Sent art files round April-26th-ish. Got the first art proof June 15th. Approved art June 22nd. Sent an e-mail asking for a timeframe June 22nd and got te above reply today (June 23rd)

September. . . .

Bummer. Well, I guess that they are pretty busy over there.

Wow, ASM really has their hands full atm. At least the chips are well worth the wait. Holla.

I received this email today:

Hi John,

You keep bragging ... the chiptalk members that have received their chips to date have loved them .... very little complaint from our customer. I hope we have the same effect on you. Your order was one of the first order in the second wave to start production. We did receive clay from Portland but the plant manager is not her this afternoon ... but you are on her prod. sheet and the white board, which means production is underway.

Be patient .... and keep bragging.

I was told about a month ago that I was on the floor half-way through production. What this means.......??.............We'll never know. I just cannot stand to wait anymore. IT seems as though I might never see my chips at this rate!!

Now I know what a NUN or a CATHOLIC priest feels like.

Trust me, you will feel SO good when they do arrive that the wait will instantly fade away in your memory. If its anything like my experience, they were actually better than I had anticipated when I got them in hand.

It's a very long process. Keep in mind they're doing each chip by hand, using old machinery that sometimes needs to be fixed, and so on.

My art work was approved back in February and I'm still waiting, so believe me, I know how you feel. It'll be well worth the wait when we all start getting our chips.

I got my chips two days ago, exactly 13 weeks after artwork approval.

And it was worth the wait not to mention the fact that they first came out and stated 14 weeks was the average.

And when was your credit card charged? I'm pretty sure you posted that in another thread, but I don't want to dig around for it...

Sometime last month my cc was charged. Then it was about 3 to 4 weeks later maybe a bit longer.
But nothing ships without you being notified first via email as I was the other day.
