Bones Shipment Tracking thread

[Finarfin]

Arrived! yuhu! I was lucky and didn´t have to pay taxes on this one :)

[theleast]

You know how Australia Post said my package should arrive the next day?

 

THEY LIED!!!

 

The worst part? A package arrived for my Mum, so the guy at the post office got to see my devastated face when I exchanged the parcel notice slip for an envelope of scrap-booking accessories.

[smokingwreckage]

:( the least, :( indeed.

Weird. So thats shipping confirmation for orders of 6, 10, 13 and 19 line items all happening today? I have no idea how Reaper is choosing the order, but its nice to see some solid movement and multiple reports.

 

No sign of mine yet (13), but again I have no clue how theyre choosing them so it could be any minute now or still weeks away.

I'm guessing they're doing somewhat by country, maybe not with all of the orders of country at once. If they run out of orders for a country they switch to another one, maybe? Eh, I dunno. Speculation might be somewhat pointless.

What this really means...

Aug 21st - USPS Driver picks up my bones and makes a run for the Mexican border to trade them on the black market but was caught just before the border because he couldn't resist stopping to use them to liven up his classic choose your own adventure book.

Aug 22nd - Joint FBI/Border-Patrol Black Ops team that rescued my bones finishes their top secret debrief (a quick romp through Keep on the Borderlands using Pathfinder rules) and drops them to USPS in Denton.

Aug 23-24 - USPS Elite Logistics team, realising the shipment is now being tracked by the Feds make a show of shipping it out on the next truck that just happens to also be carrying sofas, sodas, crisps, and half a dozen suspicious rolled up carpets. In the back of the truck with their signal jammers turned on, they go old school, the IMEF marines are going in to sort out an EarthCiv planet that has gone medieval, except they spend all the time creating characters and fail to deploy. They barely have time to re-pack and leap back into their carpets.

Aug 24 - The Cracked Canadian Geek-Terrorist squad tips off the Feds to the Chicago Mob's attempt to hijack the shipment, while they're both distracted they board the cargo plane to 'ensure safe delivery of the loot'. They give the pilot precise directions to NZ (go south, turn around when you see Mount Doom, right a bit to Hobbiton, then left to Orc land) then settle in for the next instalment of their Goblins campaign.

The plane, having refuelled five times is currently on it's third circuit of the world. Hopefully soon the CCGT team will realise that the rust monster they left tied up in the barn is just what they need to take out Wyrmgear and the Clockwork Knights, then maybe they'll check on the pilots and let them know that Mount Doom is now dormant and capped with snow...

The real story...

Aug 29 - Disgruntled at being eaten by Wymgear and waiting for their reincarnation as clockwork-Goblins, 2 of the CCGT take a walk on the tarmac while the plane is being refuelled. Chatting to the ground crew they find out they're in Auckland (perhaps they shouldn't have made perfectly reasonable assumptions about the spelling - Chief Buglips will not be amused). Reluctantly packing up, they hand the bones over to NZ Customs whose eyes alight with glee - the legendary Bones of Reaper...

EDIT: Shipping Email + 8 Days - It's Heeerrreee!!

The real story...

Aug 29 - After an Epic day of Swords & Wizardry going Against the Giants, NZ Customs green light everything they were supposed to clear today and head home for a beer. Lost in the middle of a pallet of ordinary parcels and it being late in the day, the NZ Post driver never realises the value of his last delivery to the automated distribution centre. Like the Ark in the warehouse the bones blend in with everything else to be sorted and distributed.

Aug 30 - It's a cold morning, clear skies and a bitter wind from the south, wishing she'd had time for one more coffee this morning, the postie loads her parcels and mail in the back of her station wagon, puts her delivery bike on top and sets out to drop the large parcels first, maybe the frost will have cleared by the time she gets her bike out for the letters. As she wends her way down a driveway to drop some sort of archaeological parcel, a young school boy waits by the gatepost. Solemnly she hands him the parcel, idly wondering what the "THACO 3" scribbled on the side of the box means.

The boy proudly carries the treasure into the house and presents it to his father.

Intent on getting everyone to school on time, at first the plain brown box in my son's arms is just another delay to us getting out the door on time, then the world pauses on its axis for a moment as realisation strikes. "Boys, what are the consequences of you being late to school?" "Detention", "Extra Homework", "I lose house points" they reply but I'm not really listening as I reach for a blade, "That's a sacrifice you'll just have to make" I say as I reverently open the box.

Consequences are forgotten as I open they box and they see... the giant plastic packing bubbles, casting them to the floor they gleefully jump on them until they bang. My older son and I know what the real treasure is and carefully extract and examine every piece, knowing we don't have time to open the plastic bags and play as we want to, we sorrowfully pack them back up to wait for us until tonight.

 

They're here!

Squeee!

[Caffiene]

Hooray, got my email (12 items, to Australia)

 

Now all I need to do is remember what on earth I wanted a second owlbear for. And hope the guy I arranged to trade with is still contactable and agreeable to it (since I changed my order based on what I was going to get via trade).
