Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Why is it that when some of us have an expectation coming our way via a delivery truck, we check in on its status three or four times a day, and then when its movement appears to have been delayed en route, we start biting our nails looking for answers? |

Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA | I thought that only happened here in Canada...
Was expecting a package last week. Saw it was shipped from Ohio and arrived at Canada Customs within three days... then NOTHING for two weeks.
Sat in a CC warehouse in Mississauga (a suburb of Toronto..) for 13 days doing absolutely nothing!! Then another week to get here... then another 3-4 days to be delivered...
Then when item arrives (a guitar-specific case for my Rick bass...), it's the wrong one (doesn't fit)!!
And guess what...? Too late to do anything about it!! Isn't that terrific!!
No BB... this is universal, we all do it :D |

RIP Victor Borge. Your comical styling and musical genius will never be experienced by most of the younger generation. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Ryan, waiting is all part of it. Looks like 6/2 for yours. When Ronnie shipped the Tak, it went from Gulfport to Mephis, then to Savanah, then to Orlando before it got here. I figure it got an extra 1k miles than if they just took I10 straight to Jax and then here. Can't figure out the corporate decisions sometimes. |

Location: Bellevue, Washington | Even worse than the anticipation of waiting for your instrument to be delivered, is sitting at work at 11:00am, with another 6 hours to go and receiving a message from your wife simply saying:
"Guitar is here, can I open it?" |
