yeah just checked again and now it's in Kentucky for some reason? Don't know maybe it needs to wait for border approval or something.

well it's got to be more than me. My 4001 is lonely all by itself and needs a friend to keep it company :lol:

this wait is really killing me haha I keep looking at the tracking info like every hour...it's still sitting in Louisville, Kentucky :( or at least that's the last known location. Hopefully it's on it's way somewhere right now.

I think that means the customs clearance is being done independently of the location of the item. My JG came the same way, and it didn't get stuck in Montreal for days as a result. So fingers crossed! (although that might make it difficult to play.)

yeah hopefully that's the case. How long did your JG sit someplace before clearing customs?

Thanks man I'm sure it'll be killer. Just checked again and it should be in Canada for good now. It flew into Quebec last night and cleared the border. ETA is sometime Friday I can hardly wait! :D

it's pretty good that it gets here on friday since I work nights all weekend so I can just let it acclimate for the 2 days I work nights. I'm too tired to do anything but sleep and work on those days anyways so it should go by pretty quick.

tell me about it I'm practically climbing the walls here. UPS site says it's here in Dieppe now and that the scheduled delivery date is now tomorrow :D :D :D

I doubt they'll squeeze it in today but if so I wouldn't complain.

If they're like our UPS guys, even if it's on the truck, "Out for Delivery" but not scheduled until tomorrow, they won't bring it early. I assume they get "dinged" if they're late, but nothing extra if early...

Well it's almost 5pm here and the site still says "package not dispatched" so I guess tomorrow it is then!
