Hi Robbie - we could say 15th Jan if you prefer and miss it by a few days one side or the other. But we'd be saying that just to make you feel better, with no confidence in that specific date. Just like you, we're waiting on lots of other suppliers for the jigsaw to come together. To the very best of our knowledge your irons should be ready to ship md January. If i ask customer service, i'd get exactly the same answer. We are in the middle of a global pandemic - with so many of our suppliers compromised. So at the moment that's the best we can do in the circumstances. Appreciate its frustrating.
