Great Canadian Mass Shipment Bones Race

[ShadowRaven]

Not Soviet, pseudo- socialist, according to American media anyway, land of beauty and dreams. First nation of hockey, and the best place to live. We just get screwed when we try to import stuff.

[Finarfin]

We're not Soviet.

 

Just complicated.

 

And no one understands us but our Commonwealth.

Complicated! like the Avril Lavigne song with the same name... wich is canadian.

 

Coincidence? I think not

[GreyLurker]

My new theory is we are being punished for unleashing Justin Beiber on the world

[kristof65]

That's an awfully harsh punishment - mini gamers had nothing to do with JB

It is such a random connection that I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Buglips did it.

So I'm guessing the canadian orders aren't being finished off today? Since I only have 5 line items I can't help but think mine is the very next order, but they keep delaying it further and further.

From the Kickstarter comments:

@Craig McClung: UPS came back and said we had to redo everything for Canada. Rather than lose a day, we are working the current book of US orders. We will reset Canadian orders tonight after hours and be ready to pull that trigger tomorrow.
I'm really sorry, and please know we are doing everything we can to do this so there's no screw ups.
Also, orders escalate quickly from here. Before 5 lines or 6 lines took over a day. The next US book of 1500 orders starts partway through 8 items, and closes out 9 and 10, and begins 11!
Rest Of World Book currently scheduled for Thursday if nothing else goes kablooie.

Poor Reaper. That just goes to show just how awesome they are, though, that they're opting to stay after hours to fix things. I hope they get a nice long break after this, they've totally earned it!!

 

Huzzah!

Apparently even UPS doesn't like to use UPS to ship to Canada.

[Slinky]

Just musing, if the UPS guy wouldn't have been present when the Canadian orders were processed, would things have gone better or worse?

yes.

Just posted on Kickstarter by Bryan:

 

Now, current data re: Canada and ROW.
Canada, we can process to your 3 Easternmost provinces, but not to the West. It's a thing. I'm not pleased but we need another form signed to ship to Calgary. I am not sure right now if we will return to Canadian shipments tomorrow as originally planned - with only 750 to go, I think we want to do them all and not do just Hal of those. Either way, when I'm done typing this, I'm breaking down pallets for reprocessing.
ROW: your stuff is going US Postal, and we are anticipating 2 days of fulfillment there. I'm waiting on a phone call from the Denton postmaster to arrange them to leave us a truck rather than our usual carrier.
I think that's everything. For those worried, we really are trying to solve this as fast as possible - and we do appreciate your patience. 1,100-1,300 people a day are getting their parcels, and we should finish the remaining 9,626 in just over 7 work days. That should be before we leave for July 4 Holiday, Again, assuming no further Kablooie.
:)

 

 

 

Now I'm in those easternmost provinces. I am, in fact, in the easternmost province of all. I'm as far east as North America goes.

 

It's Reaper's call, but I'm prepared to wait until we can all get our Canadian goodies and let them do US/RoW in the interim until the issue is resolved.

You're in Alaska?

[buglips*the*goblin]

Nope. You don't get that one. You already stole "oldest city in North America" from us, so you're not getting "easternmost point of North America". I won't permit it. I'll burn your geographology place thingy down before I let it happen.

Ha, this figures. That means that I'm not in the next US book, but the one after that (14 items). So what's going to happen is they're going to do US orders tomorrow, make it through that book, then flip to Canada and ROW and not get back to US until Tuesday of next week. My order will go out that night, but because of the 4th I won't get it until the following week.

 

Or something goes kablooie and they have to stick with US orders until they're done. So...uh...if anything happens you can still blame Buglips. Just to be safe.
