Mine still says "shipping soon" and out of stock... :(
Mine shipped out yesterday to a US address. Just in time to miss my transformers mules on their way back to Australia!
Yeah, but our concern is that they're prioritizing American orders over International orders...we know they're going out in the US, but no one here has an international notice yet...Quote:

No idea, but the arrival date is still the same. Between 28th sep and 5th of oct, so maybe they're dispatching from local.
I asked if there were any supply issues/oversells etc and got this back from the Amazon peeps:
Hello,
The delay for this order is that we are still awaiting our stock to arrive so that we can ship this out to you.
If you have any further questions please contact our customer support team and they will be glad to help you.
So, probably worth waiting it out for now.
So I decided to place a backup order at HLJ. I can cancel whichever order doesn't get filled first. If Amazon don't come through at least I now have a backup.
Ok, and I submitted an enquiry to Amazon AU about it. The response was fairly bad as there were no relevant answers. But because I mentioned it has been in stock on the US Amazon and sold out the guy did say that the AU stock is separate from US stock despite being sold by Amazon US. Not sure what to make of that, but that's the only real information I got out of them.
Amazon just took a POTP Punch/Counterpunch shaped money hole from my Credit Card.. Still says I will get it by the 5th of October. So, I'm am feeling a little Excited atm...
Ooh. Mine too. Excitement.Quote:

A tip to everyone. If it hasn't arrived by the date they state (5th oct in my case) email Amazon Australia customer support and tell them it's late and your not happy about it. They should give you a refund on shipping if you paid shipping. Or if you got free shipping via Amazon Prime they should give you some amount of free months of Amazon Prime.
Just got the charge turn up on my credit card too. Woot!
Still no charge or change in the order for me...
My cc got charged, awaiting delivery by the 5/10 :)
Ah, mine has been charged this arvo...could this actually be happening? :p
In the same boat as you Trev. Still waiting to be charged :(Quote:

I got a shipment email & a tracking #! (:
As did I... with an expected delivery date of 16/10. Hope that’s a conservative estimate!Quote:

Is UPS different to USPS? since I got mine shipped as an I-Parcel, but it is too a Parcel Locker, (done via amazon before, can't remember if it was USPS or UPS).
UPS = united parcel service (courier company)Quote:

i-Parcel is a USPS service. I googled it and checked as my Amazon address is a PO Box.Quote:

As of late Amazon's US parcels have been getting handed off to Fast Way for delivery in Australia, not Australia Post.

Fastway are terrible. But it’s interesting they’re accepting PO Boxes and parcel lockers then. Fastway must have some arrangement with Australia post.Quote:

Google has told me that UPS uses either Auspost, UPS Van's or Fastways (slow-ways is a better name) depending on the destination.
Yeah Fastways are... as you say... a very slow courier. Hopefully our parcels get handed to Australia Post with no fuss.Quote:

Anyway I hope they have access to your parcel lockers and PO boxes for you guys to have a hassle free delivery.
Yeah I’m talking about their speed as a courier. Fastway deliveries to me within Sydney have taken 2-3 business days. While I’m not actually bothered... it’s pretty bad for a courier compared to ... well just about other courier.Quote:

Got notification from Auspost that I am getting a parcel sent directly to my postal locker, from Iparcel. So postal lockers and IParcel UPS services are friends. Yay, weight off my shoulders.
Finally got a shipping notification from them, not coming until the 25th! A bit late compared to the initial estimate but don't mind being patient if it means avoiding scalpers...
Mine turned up today at work. Was only shipped on Sunday so that was really quick! At first I thought the tracking info had been incorrect, saying it’ll arrive on Thursday.
Mine Says Thursday as well, but I do not think it is arriving today :/ Hopefully Tomorrow :D
Count me in for a Thursday arrival
Mine still says Thursday, but today is now Friday... So I expect it is "Next" Thursday... or A Thursday in June 2024 knowing Auspost.
