Marc's confirmation email

In my case, it looked as if the US Postal Service had done a pretty good job *trying* to bash in a corner, but the impact didn't get through the internal cardboard box containing the book.

Got my beta disc in Australia today. Not sure when it arrived, only just got the mail after a long holiday. There was no email in advance
 
Mine arrived today. I ordered a set of dice with the Kick starter and an extra when I paid the confirmation and we got the option to add other stuff, but only 1 set turned up. I'll contact Marc about it when he gets back from vacation. No damage in transit though.
 
My BBB + goodies arrived today in Alberta... a pleasant surprise as I had not received any kind of shipping notification. Marc's confirmation email had arrived back on April 3rd. I'm at the $100 level plus some extras.

Very pleased with the contents of the parcel... :)
 
FYI - Mine has just arrived in Dublin, Ireland... I was a $150 backer and did not receive a shipping notice. All is in good condition and waving hello to me from my office desk....
 
Received my kickstarted box yesterday, in good condition, one day earlier than the post office's original estimate (nice). Nearly was able to pick it up at lunch, but I had to go back to work as I watched the mailman's truck pass me going the other way.
 
If that was me rstreet, I'd probably fail the sanity check and be a blubbering wreck for the rest of the day at work... but then that's a different game system and work has been too busy to allow more than one dice roll during the day....
 
Yeah... not sure if I passed mine. Kinda hard to tell the difference between 'normal' and 'blubbering wreck' most days :-)

I had just checked the post office's web site before lunch - which showed the package was out for delivery, so I _knew_ it was on. that. truck.

That, and given the mass of the book, I could feel the gravitational pull of the thing.

I'm only 50 miles away from your location and I'm sure I felt a slight earth tremor around about the time the book landed on your desk :rofl:
 
Mine shows it is supposed to be delivered on Monday...but hasn't had any shipping updates since it left the sorting facility this past Monday. No idea if it is on time or what...just being patient. Guess I will find out on Monday..

LOL... or it was the reaction from the staff around me when I opened the box and started cooing like my 3 yr old with a new toy. Unfortunately, the geek factor of the nobility patents didn't seem to get shared, even though most of them are software engineers.
Fingers crossed Cavan gets a visit by the Free Trader carrying yours soon enough!
 
Well now that I am home from South Sudan, I sent a quick email to Marc asking what was happening before I wandered here to check it out. I was in a somewhat unique position and unable to back it through KS so Marc worked with me through PP, so here's hoping my $1K+ gets me some nice goodies eventually.

Thanks for the pics posted by some as it gives me an idea of what I am missing :-D

Cheers,
 
The tracking update happened; it says it has processed the South Deerfield facility (across the Connecticut River from us) and should be delivered today. :) I hope so! :)

As I'm sure you are aware, USPS is notorious for not scanning packages at every stop for tracking. I have had a package go from pickup on East Coast to arriving on my doorstep in California without any tracking information besides the pickup. Either the USPS uses transporters, or they just can't get their employees to consistently scan tracked packages like UPS or FedEx.
