I went for the freight shipping in the hopes that it keeps it from being thrown around while en route. Now my long watch begins, the hype is real!!

Nice AC! Play this song on loop to help you pass the time:
Trust me, the "waiting" will in fact be the hardest part.  Edited by Batman34 - 08 Mar 2018 at 12:42pm |

Actually I was thinking "Celebrate" by Kool and the Gang when it showed up... Welcome to the DS family.

Mine shipped on the 20th. Got a notification that it would be delivered tomorrow. Just got another notification that it'll be Wednesday. I'm east coast, so that's 9 days for shipping.
I know my son (who I bought the computer for) is very disappointed it's taking this long. Nothing take 9 days to get from the west coast to east coast. |

My DS rig took 5 business days, not including weekends, to ship to Connecticut by ground. I think it was 7 or 8 days total, with a weekend thrown in.
Just my experience.

It looks like UPS dropped the ball (and hopefully not my PC) due to their truck breaking down and delaying my PC until this Friday. I will also "have to lift my item off of their truck" since they do not have a liftgate. Yay!!! Roll on Friday I guess lol!!
