GB/GBC/GBA quantity "Pledge" Thread

[scottmog]

Hey Shadowfox, how long does shipping take?  Only reason I am asking is that I am moving in July, so I am wondering if I should order now, or wait until August when I relocate.

Thanks!

Shipping would be to Virginia

It will only take about 5-7 days to get to you once you pay for them ;-)

such anticipate
much order

How do I go about ordering a box of these

Sorry to bug ya, but I paid last week (first day or so after the PM), does that mean it actually shipped out Sunday/Monday? The tracking hasn't updated and I'm eagerly awaiting this (and stuck working nights a couple days this week) and have my GBA games sitting out in anticipation. I'm on the east coast so I figured it would take closer to 5-7 days but the tracking number is so slow to update I can't even figure out which day I should add those 5-7 days too...

I also purchased my cases with 15 minutes of getting the invoice and while I also would have liked ahead of time why it takes 5-7 days to ship something would it really change your purchase? But like I said I do agree with you that it is strange it takes 5-7 days to ship an item when 50%+ of my ebay purchases ship the next day.

I am disappointed it is taking so long to ship but I know that I would have purchased the cases either way.

while I cannot say with certainty about this topic, since I don't know when things were shipped, etc, but last week was a holiday week (no mail on Monday due to Memorial Day), so if you paid Sun or Mon, the absolute earliest they could be shipped was last Tuesday.  Also, when shipping, the term 5-7 means BUSINESS DAYS, so only Monday - Friday.  So if the boxes shipped on Tuesday, then TODAY would be day 7.  So you're both still apparently in the window for delivery.  If you have a tracking number, then they have likely been shipped.  Contact the carrier )post office, fed ex, etc) if the tracking hasn't updated.    
Also, he said to me it would take 5-7 days to reach Virginia.  Don't know if he told you something similar or not, but it may take longer to reach different parts of the country/world.

Also, Scottmog, 5-7 days is the shipping time, meaning about how long it would take once the item is shipped.  Not the number of days BEFORE he ships. 
Also keep in mind that this guy had how many orders at once?  Assuming he had to prep all of these orders himself, he may hav only been able to ship so many orders on any given day.

I think you misunderstood. I was wondering when he shipped them out. I didn't get my invoice (and paid within a day) till 5/30 or so. The earliest they could ship would be Monday 6/2. I'm curious as to when they have (or will) go out since I figure the 5-7 days is how long usps will take to ship (I live on the other edge of the map). He's a one man crew so I'm sure all of this takes time, but I was curious since USPS sent me the auto email last Sunday (prob label print after I paid) and don't mind the wait at all (that is, I don't share your disappointment since I know he isn't amazon prime  )

I don't expect mine for another two weeks at the earliest. If I get them sooner it will be a pleasant surprise.

This is a one-man army. I run eBay on the side with many listings of junk at home. With a full-time job, it can get kind of hectic sometimes, especially if I have multiple orders at once. So I completely understand if it'll take Shadowfox even a week to ship mine.

I'm not going by the 5-7 business day thing and will just get them when I get them.

[Shadowfox]

Yes it is taking a while to get all these cases out the door. about 2500 of them have been shipped already. (Including yours prateeko) scottmog, paypal place a hold on the funds from you (no big deal, they do it randomly time to time) so I am waiting for paypal to clear it (They said June 7th) and then yours will be out the door as well.  

[scottmog]

Like I said in the end, it doesnt matter how long it takes. There is no where else I can get these cases so there is nothing else to do but wait.

Thanks for the update! I knew you'd shipped them and figured USPS' update was slowly. I have time to kill Sunday so hopefully they get in by Sat....now to go about printing all these covers   

And geez, 2500 shipped! Hopefully the ones like mine (100) you didn't have to repack otherwise I could imagine it'd be a helluva process...

Nope! 100 come to a box!  Anything less I have to break down. So things I WANT to know: 1.) How did the shipping boxes hold up? 2.) any cases come broken? 3.) Did you have to pay any extra shipping charge. (I know this is a "funny" question but I have already had one person that thier Postman didn't accept this as a Media Mail package and charged him.)

Ahhhh, so when I ordered a 100 I did YOU a favor huh

I'll respond to all 3 when I get the package, although my roommate and I split a UPS store package only box so I won't directly be around should anyone ask for extra charge. Will be sure to report back (here or via PM) once they're in hand. Although if they come over from china (that's where they we're manufactured right?) in boxes of 100 I'd imagine the box should hold up right?

Well.... I've seen boxes from China that if you look at them they disintegrate.  These boxes came on a crate and they were all shrinked wrapped together. BUT! The boxes appear very sturdy and of shipping quality.

Good Morning.  First post on the forum.  I would like to purchase 200 please.
