Yeah, it looks like it was shipped to Frankfurt, Germany then posted priority mail from there.

Well travelled little Kobos aren't they?
Starting off in the factory in China, then going to North America (visiting both Cananda and US or just one I wonder?) then a merry jaunt through Europe before finally heading to the Southern Hemisphere.
No wonder they need to be recharged when they arrive - it's probably to counteract the jet lag.

Glad it arrived, but also groaning inside as it has only been 21 days for me, 22 tomorrow. Thats not counting the couple of days from ordering to when it shipped too. Really wish there was some tracking so at least I'd feel like I could see it moving.

YAY!!!! Good news TedJ.
My cousin got hers yesterday, so i am hoping mine comes today, as they were both shipped on the same day.
I asked her about the postal stamps, and hers came through Frankfurt too.

Ok my two Touches just arrived. Yay! 22 days. Compared to others seems I did ok with the timeframe.

I also have the same priority via Frankfurt sticker. Heaven knows what is going on with this. Anyway just glad it arrived.

That's great news for everyone! portablejim's table is starting to look SO much better than 2 days ago.
I've just worked out that if I'm as lucky as viviena my Touch is coming today!! If I'm going to be as unlucky as jasper then I have 2 more weeks to wait...

You Aussies all need to shift to New Zealand - ours came direct, no holiday in Germany for my kobo.

You know what's unfair? Mine was shipped on June 16 (ordered at Borders US), I live in Germany (apparently where some of the Aussie deliveries went through), and I still have not received it Borders customer service confirmed it was shipped from their "fulfillment warehouse", apologized and asked me to wait a little longer until 30 working days have passed (7-21 days normally). Well, Borders will not exist anymore at that point Well they won't stop fulfilling existing orders, but anyway...

you can add this:

Code:
Username      Location                Ship date  Arrival Date
--------      --------                ---------  ------------
B. Buford     Germany                 16 June    not yet

Benjamin that's really depressing especially when most of the Australian Kobos seem to be coming via Germany.
I'll be sure to visit just as soon as my Kobo and tickets to Germany arrive.

No worries about forgetting to take the Touch - my Kobo goes everywhere with me.
