I told you shipping would make it win the race! Those Quebecois have mine hostage and have had it for 4 days while it clears customs
 29th!! 29th is when mine arrives, and I have a friend camping out at my house to get it |

The best thing about the whole wait though is my current computer is falling apart the closer my new one gets XD
The Y key and shift key on this have gotten stuck more then once, and the k only works if I literally beat it onto the keyboard. But I think it will manage to limp me into the new one. |

Not meaning to hijack thread, but....
I called UPS and the person I talked to said it should be here the 29th. The site and the emails I get say 03/03 x.x Who does I believe?! |

I called back, this is what I got.
Me - "Hi, I'm curious about some conflicting answers I've got. When is the package going to arrive?" Her - "The guaranteed shipping date is February 29th, thats when it will arrive." Me - "Oh, okay thats good. All the electronic trails were telling me March 3rd." Her - " Well, it did encounter a delay because the weight listed on the box was marked incorrectly by the sender, and that caused a delay, so it could be arriving march 3rd, if you don't see it on friday the 29th." Conversation continued, but here is why my mind fizzled. "GUARANTEED SHIPPING DATE = February 29th." EXPECTED SHIPPING DATE = March 3rd. Mind Status = Blown. |

Count it a blessing whether it is the 29th of March 3rd that it arrives in a box that isn't shredded, the computer is in one piece and all the components aren't all over the place. Hope when you do get it it fires up purrs like a kitten! |

396.75 $ - GST
80 + - Random UPs fee.
Thats what I have to pay to actually get my package.
I didn't expect that.
EDIT - In hindsight, I should of expected it. But still... Edited by Rai - 27 Feb 2008 at 11:44am |

UPS does their best to beat packages up, but I was really impressed with the packaging that DSO provided. My rig was in stellar shape even after UPS's best efforts.
