  1. For folks waiting on an Orba, we very much regret to hear you’ve been waiting longer than expected. As a team, we’ve certainly encountered our fair share of logistics challenges this year. We’ve shipped thousands of Orbas worldwide so far, and we’re working hard to smooth out the remaining disruptions. Orders placed on Artiphon.com are indeed shipping within 4-6 weeks. However, there is a batch of orders that were more significantly delayed due to a problem in our system. We’ve spoken about more of these details in a recent social post (www.instagram.com/p/CFkll6zDrfr). If anyone is still experiencing issues with their order, please do email us at [email protected] and we get back to you with the status. Thank you so much! –The Artiphon Team
