Update: one of the fixtures is FINALLY out for delivery today. Unfortunately it is not the very first fixture that I bought of the four, which I bought back on February 2nd, but the first fixture also had an update today, saying that it departed the Chicago facility. We're making progress. The third fixture, however, still has no update... last update with that fixture was February 15th.

Glad to hear that there's some progress. Back in November, I ordered a reproduction part for an old Ski-Doo from a seller in Quebec.  I ordered it so it would be delivered during the window when I'd be home for the holidays.  The next morning, Canada Post goes on strike for a month, so it wouldn't even start moving until I was home.  I was back at work when it was finally delivered nearly 2 months later!  I can't really blame the seller though.  The strike wasn't his fault (well, unless he's also a Canadian postal worker that voted to strike than it totally is his fault, but I doubt that).

Strikes... resulting in orders not being delivered until 2 months later... that is very extreme. Hopefully I never have to go through that! More good news is that the first fixture that I bought has just departed the Cincinnati facility, which means next stop should be the post office near me. Third fixture has the spotlight now... since there still has not been any updates regarding the fixture since February 15th. I have a strong feeling that weather has played a significant role in this.

Finally!... update on the third fixture... it finally arrived at the Chicago facility. At this point, the next destination should be Cincinnati, then where I live, Franklin Ohio. The first fixture just arrived a few minutes ago. Good stuff! So as of now, three of the four fixtures I've ordered have successfully made it here.

Update: all fixtures have arrived. I now have all fixtures for my downstairs living room, just need the magnetic ballasts, low profile sockets, power supply wires and the floating shelves, (will have to drill a couple holes into those shelves) and then that's it! I'm guessing the shipping issue was weather related... as soon as a fixture made it to the Indiana facility, it got sent to Chicago, then all the way down to Cincinnati Ohio, then to Franklin Ohio, where I live.
