Reaperbryan Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm just wishing for a release from customs today or tomorrow! please please please please... It would seem that early Customs release is more beneficial than fulfillment sequence. For sequence, if a thousand or more orders are filled in a day, then being last in any given wave only put you behind a day or two from the first person in the same wave. Customs, on the other hand, could save EVERYONE multiple days. Very Wise. Yes, in fact, your specific order within the Wave will matter very little, especially given that since the USPS and UPS each pick up once daily, whether you shipped at 9AM or 5:59PM the end result is the same - your box physically left the building at 6PM. The Customs date will be far more impactful than whether you are 3rd in "line" for your wave or 2,000th in "line". Factorio looks very interesting. Who thinks we'll hear some news before Friday's update? Or will Friday arrive with a "holding pattern" update? If the container is released from customs between now and Wednesday, I would not be surprised if Bryan updated us soon after he was notified. If it's released Thursday, I would expect him to wait until Friday to update. However, if it's not released, there isn't much other than "holding pattern" to update with. If it is delivered today or tomorrow, I am most likely to simply include that information in Friday's Update, and not issue a separate update for it. I am just about to head to a morning meeting to learn what news (if any) came into existence since I left for PAX South last Wednesday. Remember: Customs is notorious for saying nothing until they call us to say "you have 24 hours to pick up your Container". I am unaware of ever getting more notice than that.

naponatom Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 In any event that you can´t, I am sure we can mobilize a task force to retrieve those containers. After all we are BONES forged Reaper´s Fans! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 And in today's weird but true stories, officials at the Dallas Customs facility reported a bizarre attack by a group of mostly out of shape men & women led by a little orange creature chanting "Bones! Bones! We wantz our Bones!" just before carrying off three full containers full of them. Customs officials still haven't explained why three cargo containers full of remains were allowed to be imported from China, but both human and animal rights activists are very concerned... 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm trying not to think about this at all. Failing miserably.I was doing fine at not thinking about it until I swapped out my router a couple of weeks back and lost the working hours block to reapermini.com I had in my old router. (Un)fortunately, my new router doesn't have that feature. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
