By the way, amazon.co.uk told me that if there are charges by UPS that are not customs fees (and on my particular receipt there are, more than half the charge is for ’manejo’, which roughly translates to ’handling’), you can scan the receipt and send them the pdf and they’ll reimburse you for that amount.

Fixed for accuracy.

If anyone happens to see nes reports of an entire UPS facility being wiped out overnight, the earth scorched, salted and sauteed and the employees all curiously disappeared, i had nothing to do with it.

Nintendo Entertainment System reports?

Note to self: Don't poke the rageful cat with stick. LOL

I am crossing my fingers that mine comes today just in time for the weekend. I pray to the various gods.

Still. It's there. Which is more than I can say for mine.

That said, lonely packages suck. Will it at least be in your mailbox (like sticking out) or simply on the ground in front of your door?

In the meantime you could start reading it on your computer, download the kindle app, buy it with the link from the other topic related to shipping and voila. Not the same, but a fix nonetheless.

For UPS’s sake I hope it’s still there.

Didn't you say that you were in the same situation as I am - with an expected delivery date of March 14th?

The rage comes from your own self-imposed expectations. I'm planning for March 14th*.

*And of course, I will systematically end the entire world if it is not here by then.

I'm not sure why you don't cancel your order and buy it in a store next Tuesday, since you're in the US and all.

Or you could buy the Kindle version right now, but I realize some people don't like ebooks.

No no, mine was dispatched from the UK on Monday, it simply hasn't arrived yet.

I got the same Royal Mail shipped thing too. But I have no idea how long it takes to get from Mr. Bean-land to here. So I'm going zen, dude.

That zen ceases at 5:01 pm March 14th though. I will seriously fuck shit up if that happens.

I got the UK book because I was hoping it'd ship faster and partly because I've had a streak of UK books lately (liked the UK covers way better than the US ones). I realize this doesn't matter so much for TCG, but it was a big difference for Midnight Tides or Reaper's Gale.

Zen is probably a good plan. I'll do my damndest to find my calm center. If yours says it shipped I'd wager you'll have it next week though. Probably less stressful to do it the way you are doing it not expecting it till March 14th.
