Great Canadian Mass Shipment Bones Race

[Doug Sundseth]

Mine were delivered today! I'm suddenly feeling ill. Maybe I should take the afternoon off.

 

Take, as my wife calls it, a vision day: "I just can't see working today."

[jaryth000]

I no longer view this as a competitive race, this has become one of those charity marathons, the ones where no matter what place you come in, first, third, or dead last, everyone cheers for you and congratulates you for being awesome.

 

Congratulations to everyone that's gotten their package!

The bones have landed, I repeat, the bones have landed.

There goes whatever free time that I had

[Mistwalker]

I have my bones!!! :bday:

 

I have even managed to hide a lot of evidence, so my domestic boss will not see exactly how much I have.

But my daughters and I will be painting bones for quite a while.

We have bones! (Technically my wife has bones, I don't have them until ~5:30 pm).

[Dan Goodchild]

 

Edit: For the record, strapped and taped.

2nd Edit: I did sign for my box but I'm also sitting less than 3m from the front door so the delivery dude didn't have time to give up and run back to the truck.

I hope you understand that my current hate for you all is nothing personal.

 

Latest update I've had is still the one from July 11th.

At one point, I think there was discussion that there would be two entry points: Calgary and something in Ontario. It seems like a bunch of orders made it to Ontario a day or so ago, and are now arriving in the east. Maybe the Calgary truck hasn't arrived yet, so the west still has another day or two.

 

(I could believe Toronto-ish being a day closer to Denton than Calgary is, so that might account for the difference.)

Our love for you, on the other hand, is deeply personal.

Calgary is also 4 hours from the border, and our border crossing is also much smaller than the Ont. crossing. It could take an extra day (or two, since the distance is also greater) to arrive in YYC for distribution. I think the roads by way of High River are running normally now, so the trucks don't have to sit in traffic forever.

 

Once they're there (here), the trucks will then ship off to BC, so that'll be an extra two days if you're West Coast, or 1 day if you're interior. At the absolute worst, they'll arrive next week. They shouldn't be that long though...

Mine is scheduled for By End of Day. I'll hand out cigars to celebrate my 7.2 lb baby.

 

I'm just glad there's no F5 key on my front door...

There is… it's called the curtain (or blinds).

[Jasper_the_2nd]

Mine is still scheduled for the end of today, but seeing as it is 5:30 local time and there have been no updates since it departed Concord I'm gonna assume it's still on the big truck (likely wasting time stopping in NB to drop off Bones there ).

 

So I'm going to the show and expecting it tomorrow. Time for giant robots vs giant monsters...
