Now the hardware is here, great. What about to deliver the rest? I can see it is working, but it is still a Blackbox with a white lid. Not what i expected to contribute to an open network.
https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/is-the-things-gateway-open-source/3423/7?u=bsiege
We will open source the design once we are going to ship.
I paid the vat about 8 days ago and today, 17th januari, i see that the parcel is released from the warsaw hub and on its way. I also had my vat returned from the thingsnetwork so that part went smooth. I will get back to the forum to let you know when i receive the shipment because it does not say when i can expect the delivery at my door.
I thought the package was on its way but I misread the skynet info. It states released from customs and sorted for destination. But it has to say āin transit to destinationā will it be moving to me. So it is still sitting in the warsaw hub waiting to be transported to the netherlands. Seeing how skynet moves it can take up another two weeks. Great company that skynet. 34 days on its way now and counting.
SkyNet just delivered my Kickstarter pledge to me in the Netherlands. Tuesday afternoon I received an email with an invoice stating ā¬70.35 for tax and customs (goods valued at US$ 405), and a total of ā¬20 for handling, which I paid the same day.
They have not used my telephone numberā¦ (And I was happy to be at home early after some meetings were canceled due to a storm here.) Their tracking said I signed, but I did not. Oh well 
In the above image, according to SkyNet UK, it was actually sent to Amsterdam on January 3rd, but Amsterdam claimed they did not have it. Also, the December 19th update only appeared December 22nd. I think we can safely say that the online status is not quite accurate.
My skynet message is that the delivery is still at hub London all ready from 2 january , I have gife them my number, in to the request mail. And my E-mail adress in de get notify below.
Still waiting and couting 
Hongkong Post is still preparing my items for postingā¦ probably means that they have not yet received the stuff yetā¦
Update:
All packages at the warehouse in Hong Kong have been picked by the various shipping companies earlier in the afternoon (HK time). The issue with the tracking site (whistl) is also fixed. The ones with postal companies (HKPost, Swiss Post, Singapore Post) will have these updates reflected on their portal by evening.
Sure 
No update at Whistle
My shipment from Skynet has not arrived. It has been stuck at the London hub since 2 jan 2018.
After exercising a lots of patience, it was time for me to take some action:
A product is sent from Hong Kong (14 dec 2017) to my address in the Netherlands.
I have received a track & trace number: xxxxxxxxxxx
I have been tracking my shipment and it arrived at the London hub at Jan 2, 2018.
Since then the status remain unchanged.
Could you help me out with this?
_It seems my shipment is stuck at the London hub. _
The company who has sent the product says that I just have to waitā¦
Are these normal waiting times??
Best regards,
Email 1 Internal (17 jan):
Hi Imports
Please can you confirm if you have this shipment on hold and why if you do
Email 2 Internal (18 jan):
Hi XXXXX
Another one for you Iām afraid.
The shipment is stuck in UK customs and to get this cleared I will need to submit a UK customs entry and once this is paid we can move on under free circulation. Can you confirm you are ok for me to submit this entry and we will forward a copy of the customs entry and VAT payment? Once paid this will be sent out for delivery.
XXX,
Yes, can you submit a UK customs entry.
_Please note I do not have visa. _
I can make SEPA payments or Paypal payments.
Regards,
What we will do is send this under bond to the Netherlands to you and our AMS office will contact you directly so you can bypass this payment with us. It seems this could cause further delays with payment so we will arrange this to be cleared slightly different.
XXXX,
Thanks.
In case they need my info:
email: XXXX
mobile: XXXXXX
We will arrange this now. You will still need to pay NL customs charges as you are probably aware of but they will contact you once customs cleared.
XXX,
Thanks. I am aware to pay NL custom charges.
Regards,
So, I am now waiting, but at least their is some progress. I will keep you updated.
My package is also still in London but I have no idea how this customs thing works.

The strange status of āyour parcel is expected to beā is there since day 1
As someone in the United States with DHL as the carrier, Iām finding this to be the best DHL tracking address to use: https://dhlecommerce.asia/track/Track?ref=
there is indeed a change of tracking status this evening:
it changed from āpreparing for postingā to āpostedā. There is some hopeā¦
No gateways any longer @ element 14.
