Will someone please post if they have a higher order number than 1000, and have received their books.  I am tired of hoping for mine to arrive soon.




NM! I got a tracking # now!  (Squee).  Now I know when its gonna get here....

well ....

At least more so than I did before.


Thanks Evil HAT!

I still don't have any tracking information. Anyone in IL who preordered through the webstore received their copies yet?

For people who are having questions about UPS shipping and relative distances from the target, don't try to think about it too much.

They have an extremely esoteric way of sending things to different drop points before getting the parcel on the truck to take it to it's final desination. I learned this the hard way working for a UPS drop-off point.
What makes sense to us looking at a map doesn't mean anything to the logicistics people at UPS.

Paitence is key. "How many beads now, apprentice?"


By the by, I'm order #352, and am still "Preparing" status. I would be nervous, but I'm too worn out.   :(

I'm so frustrated about this entire situation. I should have known better and just bought it straight from my FLGS. I know they are a small company and had a lot of shipments to deal with, but they were able to get the books to Alliance early enough that my FLGS had it before any pre-orders. Why couldn't they have started shipping them to customers at the same time? I think its funny that I buy it straight from the company and pay full price, which means they get the entire $90. If I had bought it from my FLGS, I would have supported where I played, gotten it sooner, and Evil Hat would have gotten less out of it. It doesn't make since.

So not only am I confused and frustrated by that, but then UPS messes it up more. Watching the tracking it sat in the middle of nowhere for 24 hours. Then it only takes about 3 days to get to St. Louis, decent try. But apparently I'm at the end of the UPS route and they come by after 6 when I can't be home and after my apartments leasing office closes. Because of the holiday weekend I can't get my packages until the middle of next week now.

At least you have some idea when you might get your books. I live in central, Illinois (Tolono) and my order number is #910 and I still have no idea when I might get my books. The Evil hat website still says "Pending". The PDFs are nice but it's easier for me to read books.

I feel your pain lankyogre... kinda wishin' I had bought locally too, but they'll come soon enough.  I think.  Mine says it shipped on the 23rd, but is still only in "Billing Information Received". :( sadness. I'm not even sure how that could be... that means they should have went out nearly two weeks ago, but that status tends to mean they haven't been picked up yet.  Very odd.

UPS still recognizes mine and says that it's due to arrive at my place on tomorrowtime.  it's actually IN my city... but they don't deliver today.  <frustration>

I got a delivery attempt notice from Canada Post today (yeah, I'm up North...).  Kinda cheated and ordered from a partnered, Canadian retailer (The Sentry Box in Calgary, they are AWESOME!!), and did get a link to the PDFs as well after asking the fine folks at Evil Hat!

can't wait to check the hardcover copies out!!!!

Mine says "Preparing" and I just ordered it yesterday (July 4). This means these guys are working even on holidays.

Yipeee!!!  ;D
