I'm a JZ in Los Angeles and Houston (one for home and one for my college club).  We'll see which one arrives first.

ehh, good luck there bro.

(edit because these are 2 separate thoughts, but I had them in the same line like they were connected. They aren't.)

I'm just waiting on the FedEx truck, here. It likes to show up at a different time every time, but I think appx. 10 minutes from now is when it usually shows up. That or 4 hours.

Did you put a gaming table in a cornfield in order to facilitate its arrival?

It's not order of order placement. Based on my household, it's likely not first names. Last name vs geography doesn't help, as that's D vs about 3 hours drive.

afaik there was no email.

I didn't get anything today... and my first name is Dave, my last name begins with a B.. so I'd be pretty early on the list to receive if that was the case. I was also one of the earlier order placers.. I think. I might be wrong on that (I can barely remember my own name some days...).. but I'm pretty sure I was.

 

So I'm without for the day. Which is sad.

I really am dying to look at Guise's deck and Wager Master. And everyone else. But those 2 in particular.

Don't think I'll get my copy today but then again FedEx is hard to judge for delivery times here.  I've had packages arrive very early and I've had days where they come quite late

NL in suburban Chicago and received mine, so my guess is that shipping was done geographically.

My guess is that they slap labels on them as the computer prints them. Since Omnitron is their computer, it's however he feels like printing them.

How about also taking into account the size of the box? I've got 3 copies coming out to California (also I'm a TR)... nothing yet, but I'm hopeful. Has anyone who has received their order gotten more than one copy?

Because it is fedex, you can sign up on FedEx's website for them to automatically alert you when you are getting a package shipped to your address. So, even without GtG giving me a tracking number, I have one. Mine should arrive today or tuesday, depending on if the Indianaopolis station processes packages on Sunday. I don't believe it does, because the station I work at in cbus does not either. Which means it would get processed today (monday) onto a truck to Cbus, and then processed tomorrow morning for delivery.

Which option do you select on the website? It seems the only options are to track by tracking number, reference, or TCN(?).

Well I found it but that makes me really concerned now. Apparently the shipment info was sent on January 2nd and then nothing else. Apparently it will somehow arrive tomorrow despite there being apparently no progress since last week......Well someday I hope to have it. So much for game night with the new stuff tomorrow =/

Thanks for the tip, lynkfox! I signed up for the delivery management thingy and now I know I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow (first and last name K, in Southern Louisiana). So close I can taste it!

Yes, it shows mine as having gone from St Louis Friday to Memphis today and estimates the delivery for tomorrow.

Hmmm not good for me, congrats on yours though. Hopefully they ACTUALLY START SHIPPING AT SOME POINT. Apparently the info for the shipment has been sitting there for 4 days and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED! 

Been looking forward to this for quite some time too =/

Looks like that service is only for US people. I have no idea why they couldn't tell me something's being shipped to me in the UK even if they can't track it outside the US.


Just assume I'm always doing that.

Damn it, Ronway!

I'd forgotten about that.  Looks like mine in California, M.B., should be arriving Wednesday.

According to FedEx mine, TC in California, is in transit and should be here on the 7th.  My copies of Shattered Timelines  and Vengeance will be arriving on the same day. It's going to be a good day, although my mother-in-law's eyes will be rolling so much she may get them stuck and wind-up looking like Little Orphan Annie.

We are giving parcels to FedEx as we pack them, starting with US orders this time. Unfortunately, this time around, the EU got the short straw, meaning yours will be shipped last. However, that is partially for experimental logistical reasons that will hopefully mean faster and cheaper EU shipping in the future. Only time will tell!

In any case, we expect everything to be shipped by the middle of next week at the latest.

 But how is this helping with my lack of ability to accept delayed gratification?? I want the things I want RIGHT NOW! ;)

Possible improvements to EU shipping would be wonderful though.

Thank you for the update! Although sadly this probably means Fed Ex's prediction on delivery is probably wrong in my case seeing as theres been no progress since Friday

I Didn't learn about the game untill December, So I was not able to get in on any of the pre-order, But I ordered A copy through Amazon on Jan 2, and Fedex Tracking says I will receve it on Jan. 7.  So I feel bad for those that Pre-ordered and have to wait. But I will be one of the First Day pre-orders on the next one. So next time I will be right there with you, My Last Name starts with S, but I live 4 hours from St. Louis, in KC, So who knows where I would be on the list.

I wouldnt assume that, I have had FedEx packages that met the estimated delivery but didnt get updated beyond the initial appearence in the system until 2 days after I had it in my hands. Keep the faith!
