I've had vastly different experiences with the different shipping companies depending on weather i'm living in an apartment, or a house.

In an apartment, FexEx and and UPS were hit-or-miss.  They never seemed to deliver at any predictable point in the day, and they always managed to deliver when I wasn't home.  If you needed it that day, you were screwed because they'd deliver it back to the distribution center in Dallas (almost an hour away from Denton texas) even though we HAVE a distribution center in Denton.   USPS though always delivered to the lock-boxes in the bank of mailboxes.  Very convenient.

However, Here in my home, FedEx/UPS just drop whatever off on my doorstep, and USPS refuses to leave anything that won't fit in the mailbox by the door.  I always have to go pick it up.

Check your evil hat account. Fred it putting up UPS tracking codes. Honestly though, it doesn't help at all. I've digressed from waking up in the morning idly wondering if the books will come, to refreshing the tracking page every 10 minutes just in cast they magically teleported to my doorstep.  ::)

The problem there for me is that I pre-ordered through my FLGS, and they have not gotten it from their distributor yet, and the distributor uses UPS.

So, I have no tracking number and no way of knowing if it has been sent to the distributor to be sent to the FLGS.  And even if the distributor does get it today, tomorrow, Friday or Saturday, the FLGS gets their shipments in on Tuesdays, so I have to wait until at LEAST next Tuesday to find out.

No tracking number on mine yet - it's still officially "preparing".

Mine was still officially preparing several hours after it actually arrived.  :)


Really guys, this stuff isn't that reliable. Chill out and the books will come. There are even free bookmarks!

If you have to ask, it probably breaks a Law of Magic.  You're just trying to get the Doom of Damocles.

Not to mention incredibly cheap, you can ship 4 pounds of books from mid florida to california for about $3.50 as "Media Mail".

No books for me today.... What grinds me is ten miles from here, there's a D&D shop that has em already. And it's nice, sunny cool, and perfect riding weather.

According to UPS, mine will be here Friday. I live in an apartment so I'm not sure what will happen. They are supposed to drop packages off at the leasing office The tracking number makes me feel a little better, even if it makes me want to through a fit. Sometimes I wish I could act like a three year-old. :)

Both volumes arrived this afternoon in Elk Grove, CA (a Sacramento suburb) and they look great. ;D

Now I have to fit them into my work bag - luckily I have a little more room since I got the case for my Nook a couple of weeks ago!  :D

Got my notification this morning, and when I checked with UPS, it showed as being due today. Sometime this afternoon, before I left work, it arrived (I checked with UPS around 4PM and it showed delivered as the status.)
