Tom, he ships in the order that he received the orders, and he ships through at least mid-August. I mailed my order on March 6th this year and I always specify early to mid July, and I got mine at just about the same time as always. So you can judge by the date you sent in your order, and if you're worried I think you should email him. He usually responds within 24 hours or so. But give him a good reason, like you meant to request early shipment but forgot and you're worried about winter arriving early and need to get them in the ground ASAP because you have very harsh winters, etc. He's pretty firm about his rules, but he might push your delivery forward -- who knows.
