Few things in my mind:

- Just question: Does FedEx work on Saturdays all around the world or in some countries/areas? Their web pages are terrible for finding any real information about their services (common problem with logistics companies).

- it is Christmas parties time in Finland. Maybe they had a company Christmas party on Friday night/Saturday. Jolla's sailors have probably worked long days for 7 days a week for 4 weeks (except Finnish Independent day). I think it is reasonable to expect them to have a little time off and refresh time after that.

- It is possible that they might have decided to reorganize the packing/shipment processes so that they can get the rest of shipments out faster. Maybe they have come to a conclusion that they cannot do this in promised 3-4 weeks if they don't do changes in the processes. For example outsourcing part of the job to get more hands on the work.

But my point originally was that we don't know. And when 4 weeks from the final payment or from 2nd December (discussion of its own from where to start counting) goes by then we know if Jolla failed to keep that promise. (And they might have originally aimed to deliver all shipments before Christmas...)

I really hope that all preorderers get their Jollas before Christmas. Let's not yet surrender to despair.
