EU shipping expected to start tomorrow! 😃

 

This does spark joy.

I'm in pre-shipment, with estimated delivery date of Friday.

 

Wave 5, US, with many of the problematic items (not the busts).

 

Shipping email went out at about 10:30 central time.

So....get this..

when Bones 5 opened.  I had jury duty....2019...not even 2 years yet...

I literally just got another summons...FML!

Does your state not allow you to skip one?  Where I live if I serve once, then next time I skip but then the following time I need to go no excuses.

I have to actually be chosen for a case.  In my last summons I was there for 3 days, the reason for this is they were going through a huge pool of 200+ jurors for a murder case.  If I had been chosen, they would have to wait 3 years.  Since I was not chosen.  I only get taken out of the pool for 12 months.  then they can call me again.

The govmint is tryin to keep me from my bones!

It 100% doesn't matter, so don't get me wrong, but also feeling a bit peeved, entirely as a matter of principle, not to have a shipping notice at this point lol.

 

Definitely feeling in favor of doing away with waves if there's a Bones 6. If I wasn't sitting here on a wave 1 I wouldn't even care or know the difference.

Feeling it too. What's the point of Waves and pledging early if there's no benefit? I was in early and big, and going on 3rd week of shipping with no notification.   Yeah, it will get here, blah blah blah, I know.   At least now I can go to the local game con this weekend knowing it's not sitting on my front porch.  I feel bad for the people who have to make special arrangements to be home or accept deliveries on a certain day because nobody knows when anything will ship.

I have UPS Tracking!!!  Wave 3, one regular ship and one ghost ship!  (I got my tracking info from UPS - I haven't yet received an email from Reaper.)

Or make the waves not related to shipping? Not sure what else Reaper could do... But yea the expectation bug is biting me as well

Ship or no ship? 

 

Has anyone with a GitD ship received notification? 

 

 

no ships. I was waiting on campsite, dragon men and maybe something else

[Sirithiliel]

indeed, i thought theyd have started from wave 1 again and work their way down once more, but it looks like things are just being packed and shipped completely randomly

MOD VOICE:

 

I'll see if someone from Reaper wishes to comment on the packaging process. In the meantime, it might be better to avoid making suppositions/guesses on what they're doing.

Guess That means no suggestion of darts on a board

[Chaoswolf]

Yup, that's right out.

sorry. just when a wave 3 with missing items (and ship) gets packed and shipped before wave 1s and wave 2s that have missing items (and ships), it DOES feel random

 

i'd love to see a official comment on how they're packing order

Harumph. Also Wave 3, have 3 regular ships. No shipping notice. Just checked the PM, and combed through email and junk folder. I closed my first order within an hour or so of the PM launching. 
 

Maybe my notification is delayed (but why is the PM not showing it?), or maybe I’ll be one of the first ones packed tomorrow. 
 

But like @Marvin I’m starting to lose patience. Shipping delays outside Reaper’s control? I’ll defend them all day. But now they have everything in the warehouse and they’re STILL breaking their word, again. Stop promising things if you aren’t going to hold to them. And don’t use shipping waves if you’re not going to stick to them once you have everything in warehouse. 
 

Trying to still give them the benefit of the doubt, but increasingly I’m asking myself why I should?
