Rob4940you gotta understand is takes time for the manufacture(s) to pack and ship a big bulk order like this. from my experience working with Sony most manufacturers warehouse have less than 200 pairs of a particular headset/earbud what have you, so a order of 700+ is BIG! As Well as it take more time for massdrop to do a drawing for prizes and then box 700+ individual boxes for worldwide shipping..
Spencer_wsThey do(did) got a email from Massdrop every day that there was sposto be a update (first on jan 3rd then one on the 5th then 7th 12th and finally on the 17th) got updates on each of those days
