BuddyTool Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 I don't know why. I live in Kansas City MO., and pre ordered about a month ago, and got it today. Just one of those things I guess. You will get it my friend, just hold on. I'm sure its not BTS's fault, probably the way the mail works. Who knows. It'll all be behind you soon. Good luck!

Lee Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 Hey, I know how ya feel. I ordered back in October and mine didn't arrive today either. I live in PA, which is pretty close to the origin of the package. And yet I see people all over the place getting their boxes, even though they ordered two weeks ago. What gives? All I know is that when I check the mail tomorrow that wonderful CM box had *better* be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard III Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 OK, At least I see my card was charged on 6/15/2000!! So it is indeed the Post Office responsible for this outrage!!!! (rant, rant, rant, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 I think the post office must have lost the box containing all the really early pre-orders. Condolences, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 You ain't kidding!! What gives on all these "junior members" (no offense ) getting their copies first over us "veteran members" that have ordered at least SIX months ago. Blackhorse on another thread similar to this one had an interesting theory in that the original post office actually started shipping the later orders first. Kinda like a stack thing. You know the early orders were brought in first. Then the later orders were stacked on top of them and then the ones on top (which of course were the late orders) were shipped out first leaving the early orders to be shipped later than the late orders. But all I know is that if I don't get my copy tomorrow, then I'm going to become seriously discombobulated. I am real anxious to start working on my ficticious neighborhood scenario. Could be fun to watch a King Tiger blow apart your neighbor's house at 600m, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntg84 Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Think of the USPS as one of those Family Circus cartoons where the kid goes all over his school to take a drink out of a water fountain right outside his classroom door. The package went from New England to CO, to CA, to TX, to Mexico, to Chilie, to South Africa, back up to France, over to New York and then to your door.

Richard III Posted June 23, 2000 Share Posted June 23, 2000 Now now! Credit where credit is due! According to the postmark I got mine overnight. I am sure that was true for Jeff also... Besides, don't make fun of post office guys unless you are better armed than they are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
