Well - I am slightly peeved. Apparently because I ordered 'too soon' (#500, July 3rd) by a few hours, my order was skipped for shipping (still: paid not shipped) and it is now past business hours in Europe.
The reason given was that my address was wrong because at the time that I oredered the shop was not set up for outside Europe yet. I was of course aware of this problem when I ordered, notified iRex and it is noted as being resolved in my account. Anyways.
So chances are mine will miss the Monday shipment and now I know what the bleeding edge is really like...
