Oh, I didn't think of that!  I didn't sign up on the last day but I might as well have with all the problems I had.  So maybe we are in the last wave of shipping.

Trying to be positive because I am SO EXCITED for this box... but I don't understand why they told us they shipped on Thursday when they didn't ship until today. It's making a late box even later, considering the last box was received exactly four months ago today. If you say you're going to ship on the 14th, why are you not shipping until the 19th? I was 100% expecting this box this week, and now it looks like I won't get it until next week.

As far as I can tell, Quarterly ALWAYS has shipping issues.  ALWAYS!  I read their twitter feed and its allllll about late boxes and 'oh, we had to push back the ship date'  etc.  So, I'd say we are pretty lucky to be getting them relatively close to the time they said they would ship.  At least they didn't push the date out two weeks like some of the boxes... Eek!

They probably started preparing them for shipment on Thursday. I have learned when it comes to sub boxes to take shipping dates as approximations. The system definitely has flaws! Also, I don't think "normal" people obsess about these things as much as people here and I also think that this board causes people who wouldn't stress about it to stress more! I honestly am starting to hate tracking numbers. Tell us they will ship mid-month and they'll get there when they get there!

This made me laugh because you really couldn't be more right!

I was getting worried because I hadn't gotten a shipping email... Then I found it in spam!! Mines in Compton as well... Looks like next week for me! But I'm fine with whenever as long as I get it! =)

 

[subbox]

Somebody's is already in Kentucky? Awesome! I guess we will be getting spoilers soon. So much for going without spoilers. Mine just left Compton, and it will take a while for it to get here to the Midwest.

Thank you! I checked my SPAM folder also and there was the shipping email! Yay! I am beyond excited for this box!

 

[wisconsinbeth]

Mine looks like it left Compton today. Hopefully it's not like last quarter where that is as far as the box ever got before it was lost /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I got a replacement, but not until much later.

It looks like mine will come Friday unless I can arrange for pickup on Thurs. Afternoon. But my Grandmother (101) years passed this last week and we are going to the Funeral Friday morning. So I won't get till Monday . I might try to intercept when it gets to the final stop if I can. We will see. Too much to worry about with the funeral right now. : (

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. If I live 2/3 that long, I will feel my life is complete.

Thanks for posting this! Mine is in Compton as well. 

Hope there is a clutch in there!

Got my shipping email earlier today! It's just left Compton and I live in NorCal so hopefully it'll get to me by Friday. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It is weird that my account still says "ready" though, but as long as the box gets to me, I don't mind! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MissKellyC]

So glad I could help on the emails!! Lol =) Ps I would love a clutch too!! =)

 

[MKSB]

No shipping email yet for me but I'm still DYING for spoilers! I would be very surprised if there wasn't a clutch in this box. Fingers crossed! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I emailed and got some info about shipping!

"In case you are curious, the difficulty with getting your order expedited is that on Tuesday and Wednesday our warehouse labels and stacks all the orders that have come in since the weekend onto pallets to prepare for a Friday pick up. Once a box is on the pallet it becomes pretty difficult to locate it. That being said, sometimes we get lucky and they can find the order."

The details are specific to my box but I thought it was interesting see know why it takes them time to get the tracking out on these.  Shipping labels are created but then they have to fill up a pallet before they all get shipped out to the post office.

Wanna know what he offered me?!  To send me a box tomorrow and then give me a label to send back the second box after it shows up sometime after Friday! !!  I mean... whoa.  But how hard will it be to send back that second box, right?!  LOL!
