Nice job to all involved to not just make the schedule, but to get it out early!

Mine still says "backordered"

yeah....unless you got express mail delivery and can track it through that....my order status simply says "processing"....but, that is better than before, as "backordered"....

hopefully it is true...and hopefully I could possibly get it by Saturday....leaving town monday through Thursday next week :-(

Check the shrapnel games front page for the blurb...

As to backordered, processing, whatever, I dunno, I'm just assuming that as they work through the orders the status will change.

I ordered it "express." How long would that take?

If its USPS express that's usually 3 days, though it can be less, if it's FedEx or UPS it should be 1 day.

I took the standard shipping, so I'm expecting it after the weekend, still got enough to do in the demo not to worry about a couple of days http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Can anyone tell me when their order beings to ship? I am afraid that mine won't ship for a while because I ordered Last night http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

As to how quickly they process the list... someone from Shrapnel would have to answer that.

I wouldn't worry too much though, its not like having nothing to do on Sunday besides watch football is such a bad thing... (unless you're a fan of the Redskins or Lions or some other crappy team http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Any news from those pre-ordered in the U.S.? Does your account say it is shipping or shipped (as opposed to backordered)?

In US, ordered the 9th of October, says 'Processing'.
Mmm. Hopefully I'll have it by the middle of next week (USPS Priority for me).

Joonie73
November 13th, 2003, 07:32 PM
Oh well. It means I am going to get screwed; mine still says "backordered."

I was hoping to get it by Saturday, with express mail and all.

I have it on processing. I suppose it just means they will eventually ship mine http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Here is a quote from Annette at Shrapnel....from an email from her:

Will you do me a favor? Will you let the guys on the forums know we're working very hard to get all preorders out in the next few days, which is why we're so pleased to be able to get started a day early. Tell them not to worry, we have plenty of games to go around and if they have questions they can come to customer support. Thanks! I'd post myself but can't take the time :-)

Your status won't change to shipped until it literally goes out the door. So you will know if yours is on the way as soon as you see the status change. I would say most orders should be out in the next few days, but otherwise I would say Monday at the latest (of course I don't work in shipping http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Kudos to Shrapnel and Illwinter for the timely release.

Okay Guys:

We are finished shipping for the day. If your order shows backordered or still processing then it didn't ship today. The ones showing processing will be the first out in the morning, so hang in there. We should get the majority of what is left on backorder tomorrow -- hopefully. We will also ship on Saturday, so don't give up hope...

Can't wait until I get home and check my e-mail. Hope it shipped today, but I can wait another day or two.

Thanks for the update, Tim! It's a rarity these days for a company to keep their customers informed of the status of their paid orders. A tracking URL on an email has become the defacto standard and not all companies provide that; your forum update is very unexpected and very appreciated! Thanks again.

On the bright side I will not have access to the forums or the web so I cannot torment myself by constantly checking out the order status. I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised when I get back from my travels...hopefully the same will happen for you.

Hi,

Happy, happy, joy, joy, happy, happy! Mine says Processing. I'm SO looking forward to this. Fortunately, I have Knights of the Old Republic (XBox) to keep me occupied until it gets here.

Licker,

I will be one of those watching my dear, miserable Redskins this weekend. Sigh. The pain, the pain. We get a new coach ... Heck, 2 new coaches. What happens? Severe suckage. Dallas gets a new coach ... Instant division winners. AND we can't even beat them reliably (heck, at all) when they stank. There's just something about Dallas that is unnatural. Other teams go through cycles. It leads me to wonder if Dallas made a pact with one of the Old Ones.

Back on topic, thank you, Shrapnel and IW for all the hard work. I'll just go back to beating on the demo a bit more.


Oh to live in an alternate universe where
The 'Skins can beat Dallas like they were a normal team,
V'ger gone

Heh, mine shipped... Guess ordering on October 4th had its advantages http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yes the inability of the Skins to beat the Cowpies is indeed baffeling, though as much as I can't stand Spurrier I'm not at all sad about it.

The Skins did beat the Patriots though, which was most upsetting to me, then again for as poorly as the Patriots played I suppose it shouldn't be surprising. Take solice in the Pats stomping the Pies this Sunday night though, I know I will http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

hmmm....where do I go to track it once it is shipped (using USPS Express Mail)???

I have went to the USPS website, but it shows that that tracking number has not been bought or something like that....anyone have any clues?

Vger
November 14th, 2003, 07:01 PM
Licker,

Well, I HOPE your guys beat Dallas. Thing about Dallas is, they're like the undead. No matter what the score, you can never relax and enjoy them getting stomped. They'll pull some rabbit out of their hat and win. (When Staubach used to be their QB it was awful like that. He had the record for most Last minute comebacks.)

Back on topic,

Well, mine has shipped! Yippee!

Now, if I can just figure out how to play this game decently. Sorry to say I get my head handed to me by the Easy AI.


Vaya con chille,

Mine was shipped around 1pm(PST) in the afternoon. I ordered back during late Oct.

I've stopped playing the demo completely several days ago because of that dead_stop 40 turn limit deal.

Raen,

It goes in your box, unless it won't fit, then they attempt to hand deliver.

Y'all,

Happy, happy, joy, joy, happy, happy! I got it today, been perusing the manual. (THANK you for such a nice thick manual with all that lovely information on items and spells, IW and Shrapnel!)

I'm about to install it now. Problem. I have a Jotunheim campaign I want to finish, but I really want to play Ermor and R'lyeh. Decisions, decisions ...

Ciao,
