A Starlink is in my future for sure. I'm prioritizing portable power for the home first but Starlink will be good for the few times I year I camp off the beaten path for POTA.

FedEx now says delivery tomorrow around noon.  Seems SpaceX has a warehouse now, just down the street from the office I worked in for Bell Atlantic and Verizon.

Edit: Yep, got my Starlink Mini... router.  That's it.  No Starlink Mini, no car mount, no car cord.  Just the $100 router.  Starlink, or SpaceX, needs to seriously improve its communication about just what portion of your total order is being shipped.

I swear, Starlink is being a tease with my order.  I feel like I should be stuffing bills in its SpaceX G-string.  I just sent me a text that my order shipped.  Yayyy!

They only shipped the 12VDC car cord.

My new Anker power station is arriving tomorrow, but the day I ordered it the first part of my order "shipped" - the shipping insurance...

Starlink has graciously decided to ship my car roof rack mount, and it should be here Monday.

The actual Starlink mini itself, which had had an estimated delivery date of 07/04 that was pushed back to 07/06, has now been pushed back to 07/10-07/20.

It'll be a good Christmas present, I think, when it actually arrives in December.

My Starlink Mini has shipped!

 

Not just bits and bobs, the actual unit!

That's great news! Once you have it up and running, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on the connection quality and what kind of speeds you're getting.

And, all they've done is print a label for it, but not actually hand it off to FedEx.

That's a practice that needs to be thrown into the fires of Mordor.

I complained and was told it was "industry standard". My response was "that doesn't make it any less deceitful and underhanded".  They tried claiming they had given it to FedEx, who hadn't scanned it yet. I stopped that bullshit in it's tracks by pointing out that FedEx is a common motor carrier and that if it isn't scanned it doesn't go on the manifest, which is illegal.

Then they added a free month of service to my account and effectively told me to go away.

The expected delivery date is between July 10th and 13th. I'm betting it misses that window, given it still has not shipped.
