Hey all, I'm new to these boards, so hi to you all! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Is anyone here UK-based and has ordered a MS3 from Shawn? Has yours arrived yet? Online tracking indicates that my cart left Miami last Thursday and there's been no trace of it since. How long should I expect for it to arrive? I'm anxious... I'm sure you understand.

Fuz, don't worry about it...I live in Vegas and it took a week and two days to arrive here, so play your other AES games, til the great arrival of MS3 game is at your door step.

Fuz,

Shawn is good for it. You'll get your game. Don't worry, buy MS3 and enjoy.

It's not that I don't trust Shawn, it's just I don't trust UPS... <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Yeah, I understand you Fuz. UPS had my MS3 from NCS stopped at Spain customs 3 days, and they opened the parcel for visual inspection and missed the manual!

Remember there's still a delay on the post anyway, so it may take a little longer than normal. I shipped a Neo Geo Pocket game to a guy in the US recently (i'm in the UK) and it took well over a week to arrive... usually it would be about a week or sometimes slightly less <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Dont you all think that asking for a three day service and paying for that and then waiting over eight days for it to arrive is a little stange. At least another guy i know in the uk who ordered a copy has yet to recive his or i would be filling my short's with brown gaga <IMG SRC="smilies/loco.gif" border="0">

Yeah... customs are a bitch <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> Although we need em I guess, it stops certain people from bulk ordering crates full of hentai DVD's and stuff... lol <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I currently have a Joust PCB I shipped from the US on 9/18 going to the UK that is lost.

It was sent EMS, got on the plan on 9/19, never got off!

Called the postal service here today, and they brought the tracking up on the screen for the package, the first response was 'Uh oh.'

I hope it is in customs.... Don't want to have to fight an insurance claim...

Doesn't sound good, although I imagine it probably is stuck in customs... I've had stuff delayed for nearly a week there before. Hope you get it sorted out anyway <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
