All Pre-orders Shipping!

Tim Brooks · #1 November 9th, 2000, 12:07 AM

Hi All SEIV Fans:

All Pre-Orders are packaged and ready to go! All will go out by tonight, but depends on the shipper as to whether they actaully "ship." At least they will be "in the mail." One day ahead of schedule!

Thanks for your patience and support!

Tim. When were the credit cards billed? My Amex is non-functional as of today (little late with my Last payment). Hoping my card was charged before the deadline.

Thanks, Tim (and all responsible for the quick shipping). A few moments ago, my email chime went off. "Probably just late-night spam" I figured. Nope: a tracking number from Shrapnel. The UPS site says it'll be here Friday - the perfect day for a new game! For those wondering when they'll get theirs, I pre-ordered on 9/14 and live in Alabama, near Shrapnel's North Carolina sending location. This time I'm in the right part of the country - it takes a week for UPS ground orders to arrive from California

Pre-order 7/28, scheduled arrival Monday 11/13 to Philadelphia.

Not so good for weekend gaming

All orders would have been charged at the time of ordering.

Bad break, RA (from PA

). For me, timing like that usually results in a few grumpy mornings early in the week from playing too late into the night... (usually worth it, though).

Whaddyaknow, a player will *benefit* from the recently maligned policy of charging pre-orders before they ship!

I personally don't have a problem with that policy - I figure that's why I'm getting the discount: for paying ahead of time for a game I know I'd be buying anyway. Good to see another positive angle to it.

Wishing a swift and enjoyable countdown to everyone's SE IV package arrivals,

Wendell

The tracking numbers are great. This morning I track SE4 to the local UPS depot which is 5 miles away from my house. Will it get on a truck today or not?! Delivery is guaranteed by Monday but it's sooo close for today .......
