Its shipping...

... and a day early to boot! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

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

[Joonie73]

How do you know?!!!

Mine still says "backordered"

[MythicalMino]

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 :-(

[licker]

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.

[Joonie73]

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

[MythicalMino]

i think it is guaranteed for 1-2 days delivery

[Joonie73]

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 )

[Joonie73]

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

[Taqwus]

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]

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.

[Pocus]

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


hey, call me Captain Pocus from now on!

Mine says shipped - yipee!

Ordered 9/19...

[MythicalMino]

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 :-)

There you go....

[st.patrik]

Just got an e-mail from shrapnel telling me mine has been shipped http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif very cool.

[then again I did pre-order back in September]

[MythicalMino]

ha....mine would be sent out....express mail even....BUT....the USPS says my address doesn't exist....and the United States Postal Service wonders why ppl don't like to use them

[Richard]

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 ).

[HJ]

Kudos to Shrapnel and Illwinter for the timely release.

[Tim Brooks]

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...

[gregebowman]

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

[Zapmeister]

I almost hate to ask - how long till my copy makes it to Australia?

[Altus]

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.

[Vger]

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

[ November 14, 2003, 01:43: Message edited by: Vger ]

[licker]

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

[Joonie73]

Processing! Yoohoo!

I may get it tomorrow with express, if it gets out early enough today...

[LordArioch]

Shipping! Victory is mine!

[MythicalMino]

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]

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,
V'ger gone

Mine has been processing since this morning.

Sigh. I guess I ain't getting mine tomorrow...

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.

Shipped on Friday morning, got it Monday afternoon here in Pittsburgh. That's not bad at all for USPS Priority Mail.

[PhilD]

Has anybody East of the Atlantic got its package yet?

I have no idea how long to expect the shipping to take. I know mine was shipped on Friday...

[blackwulf]

Mine was also shipped on Friday and was delivered here in Las Vegas USPS Priority mail around 10:00am!

It was a nice surprise to be sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

So, Ascension Wars have spread to Finland. 'Twas a guy in overalls who brought it. Which was nice... Then I had to go to bloody work (pun intended)!

Hi,

Mine was shipped Friday (6am?) and still isn't here and I'm near Wash. D.C. ARGH. I'm hoping it comes in today's post.

[Wendigo]

Got it yesterday, USPS piority.

5 days freight time sounds great for an overseas non courier shipment.

[Vger]

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,
V'ger gone

Does priority mail go in your mailbox or they come to the door with it?

[WraithLord]

Joy Joy. I Just got my envelop.

They tried to deilver it to my home address while I was at work two days ago. darn, that cost me two days http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[PhilD]

The Ascension has begun in France; I got my package in the mail this very morning...

[WraithLord]

I do believe that it's time to start a new PBEM.
Anyone interested?

I am.

[WraithLord]

maybe I should start a new thread dedicated to setting up the PBEM.
