Haha, you snagged the deal way earlier than me, I’ve got a backer number that’s almost double yours.
To answer your first question there hasn’t been any shipping information. Zolo’s last Kickstarter update did mention that shipping will occur in batches between Oct 31st to the end of November. They may or may not have shipped the first batches or experienced delays in communication and tracking. You do also have to remember November to December has to be the worst month for shipping parcels as the volume of shipping and online shopping goes up due to Christmas and Black Friday (US). Kickstarter with all its successes and failures, are really based on estimates. As you may have noticed a lot of Zolo backers are quite upset that they weren’t getting the Liberty+ on October 31st. I really hope these people never buy early access games or Star Citizen for the matter.
I’m also from Canada and even if we get shipping information today, we might experience significant delays if they chose a courier that ships via CanadaPost during the domestic part of the journey. The CBSA is a huge bottleneck to parcels being handled by CanadaPost. One of the main concerns is now fentanyl which only requires small amounts. Likewise, if they use UPS, DHL, FedEx, we will likely be hit with some form of Customs (understandable) and brokerage charges (from reasonable to expensive).
Shipment priority normally would be based on backer numbers, but, it would seem to not be entirely 100% accurate in this case. If you scroll down on the Kickstarter page, those who paid $109 for the First Batch Special, will likely receive shipping priority for the Liberty+.
