Answer summary
The user, John, applied for a 90-day single-entry Non-O visa but has not received it in time for his upcoming flight. He was informed by the embassy that it's first come, first served and advised him to cancel his flight if the visa does not arrive. A commenter suggested that if the visa has not been approved before travel, John could enter Thailand using visa-exempt status with a pre-booked ticket and later activate his new visa by exiting and re-entering the country.

If your visa has not been approved before you travel, you can fly into Thailand on visa-exempt using pre-booked flight ticket. Then you can go for border-bounce to enter Thailand again this time on your newly approved visa ("activate" your unused visa) once your eVisa PDF arrives.

You may have to check with your airline if you'd be required to show an onward travel ticket (wouldn't have to be a "return" ticket) to board. But it's between you and your air carrier to Thailand.
