As I've understood, the Jolla order notification process goes like this:

1) First hint is that the order goes from Paid to In Picking. This is the one big bit of really good news, others are not so trustworthy - sometimes this is the only info prior to receiving the phone and other steps may happen in delayed fashion. You have to keep checking the webstore for this. Some have made scripts to do this, see earlier in this thread.

2) If you are receiving to a foreign location (not Finland), FedEx is probably used and using the webstore order number in FedEx reference number tracking can possibly be used to check the status once you are In Picking. See tips earlier in this thread.

3) After this, the second info from Jolla directly is usually an email with the tracking number. The number may be mangled up, so check the FedEx tip above if so. But this has come to some only after the phone has been delivered, so it may or may not be useful in your case.

4) The webstore also has statuses for shipping and delivered, but in reality these may be update late, if at all, so are probably not that useful. One can of course check for them and, again, earlier in the thread there are some examples of scripts automatically checking these statuses.

I repeat my estimate from a couple of pages ago, 3000-4000 ranges hopefully go into shipping this week (clearly since last night and today Jolla has been moving into the 3000 range) and most people should at least have their Jolla on the road by Christmas, if not yet received. Unfortunately for some this means not getting it in the 3-4 week window, nor in priority order which has not been respected, but at least they have light at the end of the tunnel.

Only question marks to me are the few non-EU foreign orders (is there a delaying issue there) and the possibility that there are more orders than the 4000 range, which might mean processing might not proceed fast enough - but I think this is the lesser worry of the two question marks.
