The Elipsa has shipped
 
I just received shipment notification from Kobo. This is a nice surprise! :yahoo:

...and Elvis has left the building...

Presumably to get his own copy.

:D

I thought those who ordered might find the info helpful.

Very exciting! Can’t wait to read everyone's first impressions!

No such luck for me yet. Did you purchase before or after they initially sold out? This is something I verified with Kobo. They did initially sell out, then started taking orders again. I ordered after the sell out.


Update: I’m referring to the US site.

Yes, of course. You must have missed this: :D

Plus, your Subject Header screamed a response.

Without saying which country this quite useless

Skydog 06-19-2021 12:01 PM

@Cootey: Ordered first week, possibly post-sellout (??)

@ral67: Destination U.S. Still useless info.

Looks like Chapters Indigo is late as usual.

Perhaps destinations with longer transit times are shipping first. (?) As Kobo's site states "Available June 24th," I expected that to be the ship date.

I expected that as well. If it was going to be delivered by the 24th, Kobo Canada would have had to ship it two weeks ago. That’s usually how long their shipments take to get to me in Utah. ;) I suspect the NY shipping center packs Kobo items onto ponies and sends them on their way.

Canadian order here. Used to have a cancel order option on the order status page, but the option is gone now. Maybe a sign that the package is ready for shipping, so it's too late to cancel.

Past experience for me has been about 5-7 business days if there isn't a delay at customs.

Maybe returns are slower. At any rate, my website status is still saying "processed" and not "On its way to you, baby!"

I await a status update with bated breath.

The Elipsa has shipped
 
My order status went from "Processed" yesterday to "Delivered"! But it's not outside. <snip>

I got confused by the bad mobile website design. It should read “Shipped” with “Delivered” still hidden. Yes, I realize that the red words indicate completed status, but the layout is off. At any rate, I’m glad I was mistaken.
