WOW.. That is opposite of what i heard.. I have been hearing about everyone preordering them in february and stilll not receiving them.  I orderered mine on the exact same day as you... hmmmm.. maybe today!?!

Someone that has received it, could you check your order status and see if i says delivered or if it still says
"Unbilled and Processing".

Im hoping they shipped and just messed up on the unbilled and processing tongue.gif

What kind of dumb fuck are you?  mad.gif  Your complaining because you've waited for six days. The way your talking is that you've waited 4 months.

Remember, there are people that have waited longer, so don't be a suck!

Yeah i know people have wait longer.. but still they give me the shaft just as much as everyone else.. They are supposed to ship within 48 hours i believe.. and one guy on this forum ordered the 21st of May and received his today (the 26th of may).  I think they are all messed up.  He must live somewhere else besides US though.

I ordered last minute on May 8th I think - rec'd it today 5/26.  Shitty packaging for a delicate computer part - just an envelope & a little bubble wrap.  

Maybe cause I also live in Canada they figured it wouldn't be handled as much.  I hope they at least put it in some kind of box for you guys that live in the US.

and ive already tried to enter the obvious things, like my zip/postal code. with and without spacing..
but to no avail..

Where are you entering the tracking number? It sounds like you're trying to enter it at Easybuy's website, which is somewhat completely the wrong thing to do.

Since your tracking number, like mine, starts with PK, I'm guessing www.canadapost.ca is where you need to go to do the tracking.

Post by: ichpen on May 28, 2003, 07:57:00 AM
FYI,

Had another chat with easybuy as my 2nd chameleon which I ordered and was shipped on 23rd May has not arrived yet.

This is what I got from them in terms of info for North America:

1. Chips can be shipped from 3 locations. Montreal office (Canada), US (Texas would be my guess) and Mexico (presumably their factory)
2. Chips are shipped based upon availability i.e. if Canada doesn't have the part then it will be shipped from the States or Mexico
3. Chips shipped from Mexico can take up to 3 weeks to arrive (very annoying). Also tracking via USPS or CanadaPost may not be possible as the item is registered usually a week after it is shipped (from Mexico)

Some of this is based upon assumptions I'm making. Some is based on what eb2k have told me.

Hope this helps.

bbary,

Same here.

I believe that all the USA customers that pre-orederd are getting the run around.

Unless they orderd multiple chips.  I myself only ordered one to try it out first.  I think they are filling the $39 price orders first and leaving us $25 orders last.

I e-mailed them twice this week and they said:
"we must have over looked your order" and
"we are having problems with pre-orders it should be shipped next week"

I will be giving them  a phone call next week if I can get through.  dry.gif

Anybody else get the same thing?

Hey,

Did you guys order it using Priority Mail?!? If so how are you tracking it?!? I got one and I've had one in the 'mail' since 23rd May. I live in Canada BTW. Seems it was shipped from the States (or Mexico). USPS told me that Priority Mail does not offer tracking facilities. I can't track it using Canadapost either.

Just interested.

You got an LCxxxxxxxxxUS tracking number?!? Tracking it through usps.com?!?

Maybe they sent it express mail because when I called usps with my number they told me that it was a Priority Mail number and they couldn't track it.

Mind you mine is heading for Canada is it may work differently.

It's been almost 2 weeks now and I reckon they lost it.

Sorry dude sad.gif Yah I have an order number 132xxx (lower numbers of that series) and I just got it shipped out today. I ordered 3 for my friends.

Hang in there though bro, you'll get your chip soon enough. I'm kind of confused why they didn't ship in order of purchase date too.

All in all though, I'm actually pretty satisfied with the easybuy2000 service. My guess is that they shipped new orders and pre-orders at the same time. So they're probably almost done shipping out all pre-orders and backorders. I'm sure they had thousands of orders, so I'm willing to cut them a little bit of slack.
