Are teams still recieveing shipment of the new control system?

As evidenced by this thread:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...t=70312&page=2

Teams are becoming concerned about receiving their shipment. I know my team is. Are teams receiving shipments still? Has anyone received a delivery or notice of shipment today? What about yesterday? If they are still arriving, that would alleviate the worry somewhat, but if nobody has gotten a delivery since Friday, that would be cause to panic.

So, anybody get one today?

Was it a surprise, or did you receive shipment notification when was shipped? And if so, when did that happen?

Re: Are teams still recieveing shipment of the new control system?

It would be more helpful to post when yours shipped, rather then when you received it. You can check the tracking number for when it shipped.

The one received in Michigan today was probably shipped this past Monday. The one received in Arizona this past Monday was probably shipped the previous Monday, and is less useful for determining if they are still shipping.

The most useful, of course, would be people who just received notification of shipment.

Re: Are teams still recieveing shipment of the new control system?

FIRST must be still shipping them out as fast as they can. I am the shipping contact for our team and I just received an email from FedEx a few minutes ago with our tracking number. Our 26 lb package shipped today (the 10th) and is scheduled to be delivered on the 15th. I guess this means there is no need for everyone to panic just yet. So much for Bill's Blog saying they were going to ship until the 5th. Given the usual package overload this time of year for all of the shipping companies I wouldn't be surprised if there was a delay of a day or so more as well.

Also, the FedEx tracking page currently has this warning:
"IMPORTANT! Inclement weather conditions at Memphis, TN hub may cause some service delays and disruptions within the U.S. today."

Heck, the other night the UPS man delivered a package to my house at 9:00 PM and he said he still had another hour and a half of deliverys to make!

Re: Are teams still recieveing shipment of the new control system?

Team 1516, a local team form my area, received their new control system on Tuesday of this week. We still have not received ours at least by 5:30 of Wednesday. But because of 1516 I am confidant it is close.

Re: Are teams still recieveing shipment of the new control system?

I got notification yesterday that 340s shipped & will be in tomorrow. Unfortunatly I will be on my way to NYC & won't be around to get to it until Monday. That means 2 kits, 2 notifications. For those of you that got no notification, make sure you have your information updated with FedEX.

A little bird told me he had seen our name on a list & for some reason it had 340 as paid on a much later date than 424.

I guess it's just ironic that the Beta test kitwill be shipped back on Monday & the new control system gets opened on same day. Out with the old in with the new.
