I want my damn Soundwave and kreo stuff from bbts. Tracking says it came into botany last Friday, but still hasn't moved from there since. What could be taking it so long to get here from botany? If by some ungodly reason it doesn't turn up by the end of the week, i implore one of you New South Welshman who has attained Soundwave to bring him to parra on Sunday.

if it here already you always can pick it up at the sorting centre in Alexandria , just call them with your tracking number and they set it aside for pickup

Thanks for the advice but funny story.

Was home from work for not even 5 minutes before the UPS truck turns up to deliver my package. Man I was stoked

I asked him why it took so long from turning up on Friday in the country to being delivered today. Turns out, Expedited Shipping means that it will get delivered on a Wednesday, no matter what day it turns up in the country. So basically they fill the truck a bit and send it out, rather than send a truck for 1 item to be delivered. So if it turns up in the country on a Tuesday, it will be delivered the next day, but if it turns up on a Wednesday, it will be delivered the following Wednesday. Unless they bring the deliveries forward for extenuating circumstances.

So now I know!!!

(Waits for it...)

My Soundwave still hasn't been sent off yet as my contact in Japan has been unwell. So if anyone would be so kind to bring one to the upcoming Fair, I would be most appreciative.

So Expedited Shipping just refers to their own process being more expedient in terms of manpower usage?

Been waiting about a month for my G1 Krok with Gatorraider to show up. Got it marked on the calander at the maximum date I can wait until I take my complaint to Paypal.

Also waiting on the FOC Grimlock/Blaster 2-pack to show up at BBTS, all my other pre-orders are in, some for more than a month! But I know as soon as I hit 'send' on my POL that Grim & Blaster will show up the next day

I did something similar to that with my classics reissue Soundwave. Arrived on the last day. (to jinx me, I bet)

Seems that way now doesn't it? Annoying but at least now i know about it. Lots of our stuff gets sent ups expedited.
