Mwah.
They did indeed come by to deliver the Iliad but I had them take it back.
Wrong colour, I didn't like the box it came in...

I'll just have to wait for monday, it is past worktime here in Holland.
If you -like me- didn't get your UPS number yet and are still on the confirmed and processing list, add another day to the delivery and try to look at things as a kind of extended foreplay.
Hey, I said, kind of...

Riocaz · 07-07-2006, 11:00 AM

I don't think anyone has had a UPS number yet.

Just notes saying that the shipping has started.

Sischa · 07-07-2006, 11:04 AM

Which very pissimistic thinking people could take as an "nothing was shipped today just ~460 times a status was changed to calm down the nerds like us" ...

But hey who is pessimistic here?

tribble · 07-07-2006, 11:20 AM

well, i am getting pessimistic, because if it isnt picked up by 6pm then it doesnt get delivered on monday
and since noone received a trcking number yet, i guess, n item has been shipped yet.
darn, do i have to make another avatar???
bad thought: what if onla as many iliads were in stock as people who got their status changed???

Riocaz · 07-07-2006, 11:48 AM

on the other hand it could be that UPS have given iRex the codes but they have been so busy processing the orders that they havn't sent them on yet.

stinky ox · 07-07-2006, 04:23 PM

I have this as of yesterday:

06/17/2006 Order not comfirmed
06/17/2006 Order comfirmed, processing
06/30/2006 Paid not shipped Shipments will begin shortly
07/07/2006 Shipping started

Order #414. Got the email stating that they'd send a UPS number, but not got the number yet.

CommanderROR · 07-07-2006, 05:15 PM

I had this kind of procedure once and the tracking mail arrived very late indeed...I think during the night or early morning.
So do not despair...maybe it's like that in this case.

tribble · 07-07-2006, 06:44 PM

i do despair. My hopes for receiving a tracking number that will allow my iLiad to reach me on monday has diminished to an even 0.0

ElaHuguet · 07-10-2006, 07:03 AM

Nobody had a status change today, eh? So, when will the next "shipping started" batch occur? Whennnnnn???

jæd · 07-10-2006, 08:36 AM

I've had my credir card charged today... So hopefully shipping will start soon...!

CommanderROR · 07-10-2006, 08:42 AM

Update from iRex:

"Yes, I guess UPS will do that this week.
Basically we gave the notice of shipment to them on Friday, so they will pick up this week.
Regards,
Angel"

Stuart Young · 07-10-2006, 08:45 AM

Ok I see how this work.. - We pay Irex in advance.. They send us updates which sound like a tarot reading. An now the devices are waiting for UPS who we've also paid.

Gotta love the Irex people.

Maybe we find out the Irex UPS number. Phone UPS and ask them to go collect for us.. Sorry to sound pissed but these people are really having a laugh.

CommanderROR · 07-10-2006, 08:53 AM

I just hope they really did give the whole thing over to UPS...then at least we germans should receive our devices tomorrow...but i'm still worried about this whole Friday to monday UPS "lag".
The tracking emails ares sometimes late, that's something I know, but UPS is usually rather fast when it comes to picking up shipments and stuff...

iRex guy 1: The boy has no patience.
iRex guy 2: He will learn patience.
iRex guy 1: Much anger in him. Like his father.
