"We had a great response to our Moto X promotion, and are working hard to get orders out. Unfortunately a winter storm is causing hazardous conditions in Fort Worth, where our factory is located. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our team members, as well as providing the highest level of service to our customers. We are taking steps to make up any lost time, but we anticipate some delays. But do not worry, your device will be sent on or before 12/14. You will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number as soon as your Moto X is shipped. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you." from moto chat
So device will be sent on or before 14 Dec is the word I have now. Still the winter storm excuse...altho a valid one...I was also told that the device was back in stock now (VZW DE edition). So if the device is back in stock. I asked if that means it will be sent tomorrow and I was told to refer to the above message. Something slightly fishy there...but man, if it was going to be more than 7 days we were quoted to begin with, you would figure they would send us an email for the delay.
