samskara Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've decided that tracking numbers are as much a work of evil as they are a blessing. For the last several days I've been watching my AP armor crawl its way across NY. I'm in Texas. I been biding my time by ordering all the soft parts and upgrades I need and spent a ridiculous amount at Lowe's on any tool I thought might possible aid putting my armor together. But my armor is in NY. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThayNerd[TK] Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's so frustrating when they move slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptyx Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I know how you feel. When I ordered my SDS I waited nearly 14 weeks for delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyboy Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's been my experience that tracking numbers generally tell you that something has been mailed, and then informs you that you got it when it has arrived yesterday.

Heatshock[501st] Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 yes. yes. thats sounds like canada post. I have an item that left canada on 2 Dec 2008. its obviously still in the sky - cos thats it, tracking says its left, no sight of arrival. Worlds longest flight. xmas must be madness in US as well - 2 items have now gone missing with vendors tryin to trace items down. worse still - had some items shipped to UK, too 2 weeks to arrive, then customs sat on it for 6 more days!

ThayNerd[TK] Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 This is the worst time of the year if you are expecting something to come in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogma238 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Tiss the season to hurry up and wait. I think these tracking systems are the companies way of making you feel some what in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samskara Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 But items NEVER arrive when the tracking system says they will, early or late, never on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think these tracking systems are the companies way of making you feel some what in control. I would have to agree with this statement. The fact is we are still not in control of anything. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Trooper Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Sounds like they strapped it to a swallow, or maybe a pair of swallows. An African or European Swallow? Listen, In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worlds longest flight.Nate OMG, thank you for posting this. I am waiting on my RT-Mod from Canada. He sent it on Dec. 4th and stated about 8 days to me. i have been worried that I won't get it and that I should panic (always helps, right?). Good to know stuff is just late <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My Ap just turned up in the UK after ordering it months ago. I just found out for him to ship to the UK he has to first ship it to NY in US then on to the UK as it is apparently cheaper that way. Mark is in Canada. When it was shipped on the 14th Dec from NY it only took 5 days to reach me. I first ordered it in the middle of Sept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure yours will too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
