Hi HyruleBalverine! Yes, that is true. The sale of Nexus merchandise will have an impact, but from Daniel's comment elsewhere in this post, the impact will be lower than that of Light Day. In addition, Nexus itself, the Christmas Break, the broken water main, and staff illnesses aren't factors in January. (At least I hope the staff doesn't get sick again!) My only point is that making future estimates based off of shipping speed in December is not reliable. To be fair, shipping going forward may not be like last week either, perhaps Nexus shipping will have a bigger impact this week. Still, the factors slowing down shipping now are significantly less than those in December and shipping in January & February should be quicker. The estimate given in this update is probably reliable, but being wary and distrusting of that is completely understandable! As a side note, I appreciate your comments and views. You are respectful, intelligent, and fair. We disagree sometimes, which is fine and normal. I am glad to hear your thoughts and perspective.
