I wouldn't have found out if my friend didn't bring a post on their facebook to my attention saying that it's a public holiday on October 1st and 2nd in Hong Kong so they will be out of their offices until Friday but that all shipments processed today have been shipped.

I was hoping they might have chucked 2.5 in todays batch and shipped it off early rather than waiting but my order has October 3rd as the delivery time so I guess not. It sucks but what can you do. They might have shipped it today for some people though. Oh neat, I wasn't aware of that.
