Someone suggested a little more transparent. Maybe this ?

What's happening

Due to the APEC meeting in Shenzhen, customs and courier inspections on shipments containing batteries have become significantly stricter. As a result, we are currently seeing a ~95% rejection rate on outgoing 4PX parcels flagged for battery content. This affects the Proxmark5 units shipping with batteries included. Rejected parcels are returned to us and must be re-processed.

What we're doing

We are working with 4PX and alternative channels to find a compliant shipping route for battery-containing parcels.
Parcels that clear inspection continue to ship normally, and tracking numbers are uploaded to the pledge manager as usual.
If your tracking number is not moving, it may be affected by this inspection wave — your unit is not lost.

What this means for you

Shipments via 4PX will be delayed until inspections ease. We will post a follow-up as soon as we have a confirmed timeline.
If you have not yet received your tracking number, or your order is affected, please contact one of the following emails (not all three):

[email protected]

We're sorry for yet another delay on this front — this one is driven by tightened security screening that is out of our control, but we'll keep pushing until every unit is delivered.

Proxmark5 support lands in the rfid image with #RFID #Proxmark3 and #Proxmark5 side by side in the same container, plus a hardening pass on the PM3 install and a batch of tool bumps.

@DustinFinn @herrmann1001 Don’t worry. We did wrong for not buffering the timeline and also slow communication. We will do better on the next campaign.

@flipper_net Hugs. We see the same problem.

Pavel explains why we use pre-order coupons for Flipper One and how RAM prices affect us.

[RFID Research Group @RFIDResearch]

@JLCPCB It is ok. I has been resolved 2-3 weeks ago. Please please do not screw our next order.

[RFID Research Group @RFIDResearch]

📦 Shipping Update: 85% of orders shipped!

Transparent case Proxmark5 units are going out now. We expect 100% fulfillment by November 5, 2026.

Most backers should receive their units within 1-2 weeks. Tracking numbers are being uploaded to the pledge manager.

@DustinFinn @Pr0zKCNL We got too confident after doing Defcon Singapore badges in 22 days with fulfillment but did not expect JLC to screw up the boards twice.

We rejected the boards twice to them. So there is no refurbish boards.

Our apologies on timing.
We also wish we could have fulfill earlier
