You may also want to make a free UPS account. My pledge manager hasn't updated to show that my packages have been shipped. I haven't received an email yet. (Not even in spam!) Even so, UPS is telling me it's got two packages on their way, estimated delivery on Tuesday.

 

I just created a UPS account. No deliveries scheduled for my address...

 

I've got my fingers crossed for you--there's still a lot that could be going on with your order, things like UPS not providing accounts with shipping information that was entered before they were created--but that's definitely sad. I hope you get news soon!

I just wish he had more weapon options.

EDIT:  Just wanted to add.  its also nice that they are comparable sizes to the D&D counterparts.  I wish Reapers Giants were like that. 

 

To be fair, Reaper Giants are larger than the D&D Giants of that era.  Even early 5E Giants were about the same height as Reaper Giants, it was the "Storm Kings Thunder" prepaint set that supersized D&D Giants again (though all mentioned renditions were easily Huges in 5E terms)

I seem to remember the latest batch of Reaper giants being more tailored to D&D 3 / Pathfinder sizes since the original sculpts were too small.

The box is here!!!!!

31.8 lbs is heavier than I was expecting. 

 

For those waiting on UPS to pick up their packages. I had a pickup scan at 5:59 PM yesterday. 

[NecroMancer]

Grrr... looks like UPS doesn't want to pickup my package and get it on the road.  (half of that is in purple because I am only half joking)

YEAH!!!!!! I think you may be the First here in the USA.... Still waiting on mine ... 30 minutes before they are late

So, what sort of throughput does it seem like we're getting? Does it seem that they got through about 500 like what they were expecting to do a day?

 

If so, I would say if they do 500 orders a business day (which would be about a half day of EU/CAN/AUS), it would take around 32 more business days to get through all of the orders. That would put the last day at around May 28th for the last day of shipping (estimate). If that estimate holds through. With about 10% of the orders from the original waves being Canadian, my estimate for my stuff (beginning of Wave 6) will be around May 6th.

 

If we begged, do you think they would be willing to post at the end of the shipping day how many they got through? Not an up to date count through out, just a quick "xxx shipped today"? Not holding my breath, but it would be a good consolation for not being able to watch the ticker go.

Comparison between old WotC Balor and Reaper's new Narglauth:

 

 

Definitely like Reaper's better. They're about the same size, but Narglauth doesn't look like he's been scrunched inside a box for most of his life.

 

Not sure why I didn't pledge for this guy or for the terrain.

Just got word my box is at home...waiting for me....while I sit here at work.  Maybe today is a good day for leaving early.

Im bouncing off the walls. My package was sent out for delivery 4 hours ago.... and Im 4.7n Miles from UPS center. I know they take the LONGGGGGG circuitous route but do they trucks stay out for 8 or more hours in the same drive?????

 

FWIW you can sign up for an account and get a smaller 4 HR window.... Between Now and 3:45 Ill be 400 Bones richer

 

Yah, do not hope for that:) I had a package (granted it was 50lbs) that was 11:45-3:45pm delivery window. What time did it get here??? 6:01PM Thank goodness my duplex has good neighbors.

My delivery window was 8:30-12:00, but it's 2:00 and no UPS is sight. I heard the Fedex truck go by around noon. 

See, proves my point about the 4 hr windows
