Arc Backorder Progress

I got my shipping notification email today with tracking!

Any update Strongman?  Have you received your order yet or at least tracking?

update - midwest

ordered white arc/sub g3 10/19

shipped 11/19

delivered 11/23

These last few days are the worst part of the entire wait. I talked to sales support this morning and he said they should ship mine out in the next couple days. 

Excellent. Tracking tells me to expect delivery November 27th.

Checked it again just now...now it’s saying one piece will arrive on the 27th and the next on the 30th...56 days after ordering. No word on whether they’ll honor the current sale pricing...

Ohh! Did you order the bundle ? Or did you order the pieces separately? Just a little surprised that they ship the item in 3 packages separately vs all arriving all together. 

Yes it was the bundle, but when you order it it tells you it comes in separate pieces but should all arrive within a couple days of each other 

I got the One SL’s yesterday, today I got the sub, so tomorrow I hope I get the arc

Yeah, I know, it’s goofy.  I totally expected the sub first.  Last I checked, the Arc shipment that I received yesterday on the 25th was supposed to be delivered Nov. 30th.  The site still says I should get the sub tomorrow (27th).  The Arc was leaned up against the wall next to my front door on it’s end.  No knock but I happened to be sitting in the living room and saw them place it there.  Also, it was someone in a regular pickup truck that delivered it.  Purolator must be contracting out deliveries now...maybe for oversized packages or ones that are of higher value?  Unboxing experience was nice and I’ve already got the Arc up and running - piece of cake.  Happy now. 

Super jealous!  All my kit was picked up on Saturday.  My Sub came on Sunday, SL’s on Monday, and Arc has been sitting with a Purolator contractor since Monday  God I hope it comes tomorrow, this week feels as long as the last couple months 

FFS.  Damn Purolator (Puro much much later) after moving one of my packages from toronto, to missisagua, back to toronto, finally decided that the package they’ve had most of the week is ‘over-sized’ and will be delayed 4-7 days (on top of the existing delay?).  The third piece hasn’t had any updates but is apparently still at the toronto sort facility.  Do not ever use Purolator.  At this rate I’ll be damn lucky to see anything else before Christmas, while my lonely Sub is sitting there looking at me.  I was hoping that at least the Arc would show up even if I didn’t get the rear speakers right away at least I could start the process...

@HT_Junkie it’s pretty tough to see that my package has probably been within 5 minutes of my house 2 or 3 times before they sent it back to another sort center to wait for some lull I guess that will allow them to send this ‘oversize’ package between now and Christmas.  The third package just got an update and may actually be delivered today - I assume with my current luck this will be the rear speakers.

The UPS dude is practically a member of our community here now which may colour my perception there.  The kids down the street actually had their Hallowe’en costume be the UPS truck and he came by on his deliveries and it was pretty cool.  He’s always taken care with people’s packages, drives carefully (stopped to make sure my dog was ok when she was spooked by his truck), etc.  I know this is one guy, and I haven’t had to deal with the company other than they actually have delivered our packages on time, ymmv.
