LLL just posted some images on their FB page; apparently they're having a Christmas party right now. They should be shipping our packages!!

The insolence! We are starving for some complete Harry Potter music experience here and they are gallivanting in some Christmas party! Stop partying and pack and ship those Harry Potter boxes! Mush! Mush!

[Once 604]

I got my shipping email 8,5 hours ago. Nice to wake up to.

[bollemanneke 3,337]

Nothing here (167135).

[Zanobard 71]

Shipped! 😃 (#166776)

 

My excitement is now beyond measure.

[redishere 697]

I’m here all hyped, using all my phone battery to check for shipping updates, and they’re throwing a party?

 

If only there was a way to transform excitement into electrical power.

 

Wait, what

I’m sure it’s probably fine, but I am extra anxious as I’ve had a string of orders get stuck or lost in the mail (admittedly none from LLL but I’m still on edge.)

 

Bear in mind, as long as it hasn't shipped, it can't get stuck in the mail.

That's the standard definition of "shipped" for all retailers I think. I suppose it means that it's packaged and labelled and ready for pickup by the delivery service, so everything the seller has to do with shipping it has in fact been done.

Damn, so that means no shipping today either! Or it's a lousy Christmas party.

Hey you got one order before me! #166777

 

Just got my confirmation email (well, it could have been a while ago, I didn't check the time). Est. shipping time is 3 days! Holy shit that's fast! I was expecting closer to 2 weeks.

[bollemanneke 3,337]

So just to clarify… Am I right in thinking that if I don't get the notification today, I won't have it before Christmas?

[Richard Penna 3,670]

 

I'm only about 50 orders after the last confirmed shipped.... this has to happen today!

They just started shipping most of the packages. It's only like 2:00 AM in California, still 22 hours until the day is done. And even if they don't ship it today, there's still Monday. I doubt 1 or 2 days would make too much of a difference in shipping time.

[redishere 697]

Now it says: 

Your package is on its way to a USPS facility

 

 

[Lockdown 238]

Mine already departed Santa Clarita, CA last night. Which I believe means it goes on a plane straight to me, so I may have it really early, I hope..!

Also just found out on the news that the USPS will be open on Sunday as well for the rest of the month, so if LLL is open on Sundays they would still be able to ship packages tomorrow as well.

Tonight was the first time I also saw the whole package assembled together in three dimensions. I can hardly believe we finally got to this point. The shipments will get out the door to everyone as quickly as possible.

For all my whining, I got my shipping email at what would have been a few minutes past midnight in California.  I guess they worked their butts off late.

Not late or hard enough. Still no shipping notice here.

I am just worried my package won't get here by 20th of this month. Even with the exorbitant shipping fees the delivery will probably take a while in the pre-Christmas postal madness.

 

Didn't you order it within the first few minutes? I wouldn't worry.

 

I just got a shipping notice too... And I ordered it with 30 minutes delay!

I got my order in a minute before 12 on the day. Not fast enough apparently.

 

And they got these from the plant this late. It will take forever for them to pack and ship all of these, especially bundled with other releases.

[bollemanneke 3,337]

But why don't they ship them in the order order? Wouldn't that be the straightforward thing to do?

To keep us in suspense. Unpredictability is their strongest asset.

[Taikomochi 1,136]

Time for us to burst into the homes of all the sleeping LLL employees. “Wakey wakey, motherfuckers, time to ship!” while banging wooden spoons on pans.

Obviously they don't do it strictly in order. Only approximately.

 

The first 500 orders (for example) are shipped on Day 1. But in which order these 500 are sent is anybody's guess. Kinda like that.

Use metallic spoons! They make more noise.

[Josh500 1,615]

And I think I know why, too.

 

That's because it's not one person doing all the packing. Obviously, duh. It's 20 guys and girls, or 30, or maybe even more, and each one probably gets their share. One guy does orders 1-50, the next guy 50-100, and so on.

 

That's my theory anyway!

Especially us Australians, I don't know if it'll even get here before Christmas 😭

[Amer 2,080]

I vaguely remember that the last time we had Mike Matessino himself help around in the orders. Right?

Anyone who already had a shipping confirmation order the Kilar Dracula?

Yes, I'd like to know this too.  It's the only one of the four I ordered that hasn't been confirmed to be shipping.  Like Potter, the website says the 7th.

 

It's only just after 7 in LA though so long ways to go yet!

My order number is before you others and mine hasn’t shipped!  I wonder if Dracula is holding it up. 😒😒😒😒

[Chewy 2,376]

It's gonna ship today don't worry.

[Bayesian 1,359]

From Burbank, I’m a five-hour drive north on I-5. And I placed my order within the first five minutes. I had better see a shipping notice today! Pretty please??

[redishere 697]

I don’t have an expected delivery date yet, but I’m glad to see things are moving pretty smoothly even if I’m far far away in badabibubi-Land 🇮🇹

[Disco Stu 15,495]
