It has indeed been a long wait to get my Bobcat 300 but the factory has responded to my request for a shipping date. At first, I got the stock response ie, once they send it to a forwarder, it is up to them when to ship. Bobcat asked me to respond to a customer survey, which I did but was honest about the horrible process they use to ship. They responded back with the attached message.
This is all I asked for in the beginning! Looks like I will have my miner in a couple of days.
