My mail came today so no 360 until Friday (at the earliest I guess.)

They just reached Usps yesterday,I know you are the closest but how many hours away are you from Memphis,Tn? I figured you would get it first,but not today and sadly all of our 360's will be sitting in storage rooms or trucks on Thursday not moving

 

[snacknuts]

My fears have been alleviated. Looky what I just got.

On my way home. Good luck, fellas.

 

[Unison]

Hurrah!

The journey for us isnt over,we will join you soon enough fellow walmart brother.

[borghe]

you guys that are getting your system, what kind of shipping did you get with that? standard I'm assuming?

 

[Cloudy]

BTW, kmart.com had 8 bux ground shipping and legit sales tax!

You just gotta pray they ship it konex!

Pray to the gaming gods like I did.

Im starting to really kick myself right now. I was in on the walmart.com order but i cancelled it because I wanted to choose express shipping but it was $400 bucks. I could have just chosen one of the other shipping methods and might have one already on the way. I suck at the internet.

There was only one shipping option to choose,ground 13$.

Why Walmart gave some people fed ex/ups ground *which is better* over the crappy APX/usps ground no one understands,they just randomly picked a shipping carrier for each of us.

APX site now lists this under activity...

"11/22/05 01:31 AM ARRIVAL AT REGIONAL APX SORTATION CENTER
Memphis, TN"

Now whats the next step? :lol Does it go to another sort center or straight to my local post office ? Does usps have it since we have tracking info even though it says APX sort center on the apx site... :lol I really cant figure this out.

Its also has a different date then the usps tracking,apx lists the 22nd and usps the 23rd :lol

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

APX should really look up the word "efficiency." Because that they most certainly are not.

They suck ass,but doesnt Walmart friggin realize this? If Buy.com can figure it out,you would think Walmart could.

hahaha, now I've got a story to add to the topic!

At the time this topic went up, this lady at work had asked me if I had a reserve on a 360. I did have one, at EB, from back in the summer. She asked if I wanted to sell it to her, which my reply was "I don't know, you might be able to pick up one without much problem." Then, I saw this topic, and the Walmart site. I forwarded it to her, and she put in the order. It was for her son, and it was at that point when everyone realized "there isn't enough to go around!" Needing a place to ship the 360 without her son picking it up at her house, I let her use my address.

Well, all this really didn't matter to me, I had a reserve, right? Well, EB decided they weren't getting enough, so BOOM, I'm on the 2nd shipment. And they never informed me, I found out Monday afternoon. So, while I will have one, I just don't know when. Went by EB again today and asked when the shipment would come in, and their reply was "no clue." Went ahead and bought Madden and PGR3, and would just wait it out.

Well, just got home, and lookie what's at my doorstep. A Box from Walmart, and through a tiny hole, the White Box with Green Lines Premium 360.

So now, I've got a 360 in a cardboard box, with my 2 games sitting in a bag on top of said box. And my sense of ethics being the only thing between the 2 of them, from becoming ONE WITH THE NEXT GENERATIONAL GOODNESS. Fuck...

edit - *cries for ck*

double edit- looking at the apx graph again,that lastest info should be the last step before they take our 360's to our local post offices...now for that long drive to nyc from tn

Dude, go ahead and give her the 360. Karma will get you if you don't.
On a related topic, the EB near me got in 2 360s today, one Core, the other Premium. Both for people on the pre-order list. The manager said if they weren't picked up by closing I could buy either one and in the process screw someone who pre-ordered it.

 

[Lonestar]

dude, believe me, I'm so urging to rip that fucking cardboard box up, and get to PGR3! FUCKA!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it comes in on Dec. 1st...but they don't know, and they have history of NOT calling to tell me about what the fucks going on. It'll end up January if Kyle Boller has anything to say about it.

Edit: Of course I'm going to give her the box, that's what I'm saying. I'm at home, and I won't be back in the office till Tuesday, and offered to drive it back to work for her to pick it up, but she said Tuesday was fine. I could be here staring at a Untouchable 360 all through Thanksgiving.

 

[pdk27]

Given tomorrow is a holiday, how much you wanna bet our packages spent all day in Memphis. I know I didn't get anything done at work today.

Yea they most likely will,unless they are further along then we thought.The tracking dates not being the same on each site makes it hard to tell if its even in TN still.

I still dont expect to see it till Monday/or Tuesday.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I'm too lazy to read this (playing PDZ). So, did our 360s ship from Walmart or what? I want to sell it on ebay.

 

[Lonestar]

I can say for certain, you guys shouldn't be screwed by not getting a 360 from Walmart. There's one in my house as proof they exist, it's just that they used Crack Junkies to ship it to you guys. Can't tell who shipped this one, but it's from Bentonville, AR. Arkanas?

 

[snacknuts]

*starts crying like a baby*

The journey for us isnt over,we will join you soon enough fellow walmart brother.

btw was it put in a decent size box and protected?

Yeah, it was fine. they had it stuffed on every side except the bottom with brown paper. It works like a charm. And PGR3 is every bit as good as I'd hoped it would be so far. Time to go give Madden a try.

 

[Mr Jared]

All my shipping information (APX and USPS) changed as well. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it left for my place (In California) yesterday morning.

If I'm the luckiest man alive, it'll arrive by Saturday

I hope you mean next Saturday

If Matrix and I are the luckiest men alive we will get our packages by this Saturday. I think the trip from TN to CA is a little bit longer than TN to NJ/NY.

Of course if we where all the luckiest men alive we wouldn't be stuck with APX shipping.

 

[Leo the 3rd]

Well I'm in Georgia so hopefully this weekend is a go for me too. Also it wasn't like we had much of a choice in shipping - I would have chosen FedEx any day.

 

[Lonestar]

Leo, I'm in Georgia, maybe you'll get yours in the next day or so.

 

[dorio]

Do they deliver on Saturdays?

 

[shoplifter]

Bentonville, AR. Arkanas?

Walmart's HQ

 

[Matrix]

Do they deliver on Saturdays?

Yea they should,its usps that delivers the package.

 

[pdk27]

I will give credit to APX for smart marketing. They list on there web site that they offer free Saturday delivery. Well no kidding considering the mail is always delivered on Saturdays. :lol

 

[Wellington]

Man, I am pissed at Walmart. I would have paid the $30 or $40 for second day or even overnight, but that $400 garbage was horseshit. Let's face it, only reason we are stuck with APX is we couldn't take a better shipping option.

Yeah I'm pissed at Walmart, I'm pissed at APX and I'm sure I'll be pissed at the USPS by the time this is done.

Good news! That means it will be in town for a possible friday delivery for me.
