Anyone getting a shipping date on their K3? - Page 25

Kumabjorn · 08-27-2010, 03:35 AM

YESSS!

Status changed to Shipping Soon!
Me thinks that mean it is on the loading dock waiting for UPS (or FedEx?) to come and pick it up. So, leave that line at Starbucks and get back to your van right now Mr UPS man.

Same for me. Still glad the conversations in here are sensible though, as it's handbags at dawn on the Amazon UK website discussion boards!

At the moment I have a nice case to stroke and I'll continue reading on my trusty K2i (which I am glad I didn't sell before, even if it means I'll get less for it now once the fuss has died down). Although I might give it to my mum.

Same here glad I still have my trusty K2 to read on while I await the new model. Plus I treated myself to a new ebook yesterday (Terry Brooks Magic Kingdom vol 1 set of 3 books) which will keep me going for maybe a week.

Having the case to stroke and admire is tantamount to torture.
Amazon's customer service would be improved I think if they sent someone round with a coffee.

Or should that be tranquillizers?

Delivered!

And charging!

I am amazed at how slim and small it is, and the contrast really seems to be even better than that of the PRS-505.

What's the current status then? Mine says "on time".

I just checked on ups.com

HRVATSKI LESKOVAC, HR 27/08/2010 9:30 PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE

edit: status: Exception

I suppose that means I have to pay something (VAT etc.) so they can deliver it.

I think that's just the normal customs clearance process. All taxes, customs duties etc. are included in the shipping fee by amazon, aren't they? (at least for Germany that was the case)...

digiridan · 08-27-2010, 05:44 AM

Sadly, that's not the case for Croatia, we have to pay that separately (to Overseas - they are Authorized Service Contractor for UPS for Croatia)

That doesn't mean I won't keep an eye out for the UPS truck tomorrow though.

I am feeling for a number of people who ordered on 28 July who are still waiting for a dispatch notice and you have jumped the queue and got a refund. Sorry but this makes me really grumpy.

suecsi · 08-27-2010, 06:46 AM

Ordered 3G WiFi on 29th July and order status has just changed to 'Dispatching Soon' (from UK).

You should never have returned it when you had it in your hand.

Doh!

Just remembered you mean when I did the testing - mmm they did nearly have to wrench it away! Seems so long ago now but was only 19th July.

Not sure when the video is going up though.

My August 2 order is now shipping soon! Still says "August 27" for delivery date, but now I think they mean August 30.
