Just to close the loop, my H2O arrived today, so 7 days since placing the order. Can't argue with that. But still no shipment email, so I guess they just don't do those.
Unit is in great condition, by the way, and I love the screen, like it better than my (dearly departed) HD. |

Ordered mine today around 12:30 PM. I'm hoping to only have a 7 day wait! Thankfully Canada's Thanksgiving was yesterday so I don't think I have any holidays to hold me up!

Update...the Aura arrived over 24 hours ago at a USPS station just 50 miles from where I live. It still sits there.
It took the USPS four days to move the package 750 miles. I wonder how long it will take them to move it the last 50. And it was shipped Priority Mail International. It's been 10 days since I ordered. Kobo shipped within 2 days. Canada Post got it into the U.S. in two days. The real problem is with the USPS. Six days and counting for a Priority Mail package to go 800 miles. Why would a company like Kobo not use an efficient service like UPS or Fedex and rely on the pathetic USPS?

I called Kobo Thursday hoping to get a tracking number but now I'm really confused. The guy gave me a tracking number for FedEx. It was picked up in Hong Kong and the final delivery address is Memphis TN. Not where I live. Plus the package says it weighs 51 lbs. That's a lot of Kobo in one package. I'm thinking I'll call back this afternoon and see what's up. Normally I wouldn't bother but it's a tight return policy because I'm in the US AND because FedEx has a problem delivering to my P.O. Box even though it is allowed when you use the P.O.s street address.
I try to avoid USPS if I can. Slow delivery times!! |

My device arrived about a half hour ago.
Now I see horizontal shadow lines on the screen. I hope they go away but I have a feeling the late arrival is an omen of things to come. |

Oh dear Give the screen a good clean and make sure you capture the problem in pictures in case you need to go back to kobo for a replacement.

I also had battery drainage problems, no browser, and unable to connect to wifi.
I called customer service and they suggested I let the device charge for a few hours then do a factory reset. It worked. Everything is now fine. |

My Kobo Aura H2O was delivered Saturday to my P.O. Box and it sat there until this morning! I haven't had the best of luck with Kobo in the past but this one came in, great screen, wifi actually works and it appears to be a go. I'm working on getting all of my ebooks on the thing now and that is taking some time. I didn't plan on having it until Wednesday.
I can't wait to actually be able to read on the it! |
