Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Vanicent]

According to tracking info the game got into the country this morning at around 4am and as of an hour ago was in Manchester.

Could get it today?

I think that could happen to me as well, as it was in Manchester at 6am.

If not today, it should definately arrive tomorrow.

Like Wedge, I'm very impressed with the speed of delivery. Much better than VG+ was (not) with CoP.

[Tobal]

GOT MINE, just turned up at my work place. In a huge freaking box you could fit your head into, crazy americans... not i gotta wait till 7pm to get home... NNNnoooooooooooooooooooooo, but i wait to install it till after moot, foe and i do Bcnm20 tonight.

[mikewl]

Did it have to be signed for Tobal, I think im going to have to visit the depot to pick mine up.

Argh, why must I work today >_<

[Tobal]

No sign, but it won't fit into any letter box. The box they put it in is massive.

[C']

Mine's arrived too.

Van, we should have same postman so I presume you have yours or will be getting it soon.

Thankfully, people werer in when it arrived. 2 days to arrive from the US is superb.

[Vanicent]

Van, we should have same postman so I presume you have yours or will be getting it soon.

I hope so, as it now reads as "delivered", as of 9:15am, on the UPS tracking page, but I've not seen it yet, so I wonder who it's been delivered to? I hope I've not been tracking yours by mistake

If it does arrive, I'll be able to sign for it, as I'm here until 1130, when I have to leave for work. Sadly, I won't be able to install it until after work, at at least 2000 tonight. On the plus side though, I'm off tomorrow, so I can sort it all out then if necessary.

Oh and yes, seconded, two days to deliver from the US is superb, if mine arrives today...

[talizker]

Not nearly as exciting as the US delivery stories but mine is here from Gameplay! So, any LS plans for tonight / tomorrow night trying to see some of the new content?

/excited!

[Tobal]

I'm gonna leave it a few day before adventuring, the places to open up the boat to the east are packed, and if it involves any farming, expect it to be painful.

[C']

Myself on the other hand will be attempting to get there as soon as possible.

I need a Mog Locker

[talizker]

Well I certainly want to see as much as possible in the next 4 days. If anyone is interested in some LS exploring then I would certainly be interested in sharing those first "WOW" moments

[C']

Tal what time can you be online tonight (take into account installation time)? I?d certainly be up for continuing our investigations from the other night. If all goes well we may get our access sorted tonight.

[mikewl]

If I have it tonight I will want to sort the boat pass and explore a bit.

[Darwock]

Right I'm putting this entire thread into my ignore list and going off to sulk, talk to you all in a fortnight when I've finally seen this stuff for myself.

[talizker]

Well, I can sort the installation bit while doing other things so maybe 8-8.30 playtime?

[Vanicent]

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!

I just checked the tracking page again, and it said it had been delivered, and signed for. Interesting really, given it's not here, nor has the doorbell rung.

Closer inspection provided a clue, making it seem like it had been delivered next door. So, I go downstairs to the front door, to find a slip of paper there from UPS that basically says "Since you were out, we have left this parcel at the house next door, where it has been signed for."

WHAT MADE HIM THINK I WAS OUT?! THE DOORBELL HASNT RUNG ALL MORNING, SO HOW WOULD HE KNOW IF ANYONE WAS IN OR NOT?

What makes matters worse, is that I can't get next door, as they are having thier drive resurfaced, and it's not currently safe to walk on it. {/angry}



Has anyone seen "Lee Evans XL"? He does a brilliant sketch about Parcel Force, where the delivery man gives up half way up the drive as it's too steep. The UPS delivery man must have thought the same thing.

EDIT: Ok, not all bad. The Royal Mail postman just delivered Mercury for the PSP, so I can play that while ToAU is installing (and patching?) tonight.
