I too ordered in Feb 18, the case arrived today
I dumped two boxes to do an Initial external inspection, orange cheddite hulls, good crisp consistent six point crimps.
Only negative and it is not very important is 2 3/4 box so the shells are loose in the box, easily solved by slipping in a piece of cut cardboard.
I will cut into two shells from different boxes to check shot consistency, what wad, and maybe figure something on powder.
Bottom line; positive first impressions

I'm pleased to hear this good news about Shenk Shotshells. Let's hope this bodes well for them.
This may or may not be pertinent but... I ordered some 2 1/2-inch 12-gauge shells from RST on Monday and they arrived yesterday. Not cheap, but darn fast and I'm presuming the usual RST quality will be present.

Is pressure reported? In the description of the two shells offered for sale I see shot weight and velocity but not pressure. In reply to my email today: FPS 1185, PSI ~7,000 I like RST too, but it is better if three or no more suppliers are in the market, especially if they make a decent product. Now if only polywad would come back into the market

I'm questioning whether I'll get the ones I ordered. After the first month or so I emailed him and got a response. A few weeks ago some were being shipped. I read it on some forum,don't remember which one. I emailed and got no response. I think I just saw a posting on the 16ga. forum about some shipping ,again no response. I ordered in mid February.

this is interesting... https://www.shenkshotshellco.com/shophomesuggesting that an auto loader may be a suitable platform for testing low recoiling ammo, for possible use in fragile old doublegons... by fragile old shooters...
keep it simple and keep it safe...
