Great Canadian Mass Shipment Bones Race

[jaryth000]

@jaryth000 - you should update the first post to indicate that UPS deliveries to Western Canada are now getting through. And, if anyone knows (Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?) the status for Canadian's with PO Boxes and such which Reaper had to send by Canada Post.

Updated the post with this info. No idea about the status of the Canada Post stuff.

 

Can anyone recommend type of bruses / other gear to get which would be obtainable at an Opus art supply shop? I tried searching the forums but couldn't find much on the topic of brushes.

I went on this very quest for supplies (although the topic name does not imply it).

 

You can follow my quest here:

On the second page you can see Darsc Zacal mention Opus, which in the end I did end up ordering from, very good customer support, great products! (once again you can see more on the second page of that topic). Hope it helps!

I'm in the "still waiting" category, with a PO box number for Burns Lake, BC. Apparently the truck was supposed to have left on the 30th to start wending its way to the border, but I haven't had any confirmation that it actually left. From there, we were told another 1 to 2 weeks after hitting the border, so I'm starting to think I won't see them until school starts up again in September (ie, just in time to be back at work). :(

I'm in the same boat as Vilegrimm, school et all.

 

I might be one of the very few in the east who hasn't been boned yet :(

I find ordering online from Dick Blick to be cheaper than Opus or any local arts store (in vancouver at least), even with shipping.

Thanks - I will look into this place! Opus is brutally expensive.

 

Also thanks to everyone else for suggestions :)

Though I don't even live in Canada, it makes my heart happy that the Western Canadians are starting to get their Bones now. :)

 

Huzzah!

Soooo...

 

Has anyone in Canada with a PO Box shipping address received either:

 

A) Their Kickstarter package

 

or

 

B) Any confirmation that the packages were actually shipped out to Canada on July 30th

 

Just curious, as I am still waiting for my (smallish) Kickstarter order while a lot of the ROW backers gleefully play with theirs...

Vile :

"The last of the Canadian shipments have already shipped. They will not have tracking because they did not get on the original UPS truck. They will now be driven up to the Canadian border and drop into the Canadian mail system so there still will not be any customs fees associated with these packages.

It might take a week to drive up there and get into mail system, then however long it takes to Canadian Post to deliver. We are unfamiliar with the time it takes Canadian Post to deliver so we can not speculate on delivery times.

Hopefully you are more familiar....maybe a 2 week time frame from today?" ~02/AUG/2013

Excellent! Thanks for the update on the actual shipping, Freiheit. That is information I did not have.

 

So, factoring in time, the Bones should be here... right about when I'm on vacation! <sigh>

Alright, small update on the post canada stuff : I got mine so they did ship this time.

Were you someone with a PO Box address that had to be shipped by post instead of UPS?

 

Is there anyone else left on this thread still waiting for their package?

[Freiheit]

Yea I was among the PO Box shipment.

Another Canadian got theirs Monday (on Kickstarter's comments) too.

Here's hoping that my package finally arrives today... I will report back later!

I got my parcel yesterday too. I've been going through it and everything looks good but it'll be a bit for me to process it all.
