Well, it _is_ GPH so while you're guiding the missile into Iraq somewhere, it actually hits Wyoming =)

Doesn't that figure :angry:skeezix posted on Dec 31 2005 at 12:38 PM said:Apparently the unit has been located .. it was 'RTS' (return to sender) due to some mischief at the border; so a month later it can be resent.. hopefully via UPS or FedEx this time. Cost me an extra $20 or so at the border no doubt, but it shoudl arriveI wonder if Christmas at the border, after 9/11, is a problem :/

I got my second GP2X from Dynamism like 5 days after I ordered it. If you were closer I'd just lend you mine!

I was going to PM the 10 or so people who kicked in, but thought.. hell with it
jr2 popped it into USPS (US Postal Service) for its destination (Toronto, Canada) a good 3 weeks or so ago, so I imagined it would've been here ages ago.. however, it eing Christmas I suppose big delays could well be expected - especially with the USPS which is renowned for being slow. Still.. I do worry..
Anyway, I just wanted to post about it so those fine folks who kicked in wouldn't be wondering whatever happened, wondering if I'm just taking and sitting on my fingers. jr2 collected the cash, sent out the package, and now we're just waiting...
I imagine with Christmas over the next few days, and maybe even New Years, that not a lot will get done next week.. still, I hope next week will be fruitfull, or by worst case the following week; if it passes 5 weeks I'm sure I'll start harassing everyone I can
Anyway, Merry Christmas all, and don't sweat it

Hey Skeezix,
I'm in TO too; up in North York (Jane and Finch ...). I just thought I'd say hey. Where are you located ? I got my gp2x a week ago from GBAX.
I know your horrors with USPS. In fact, I've been waiting for a delivery since before the holidays as well.
Good luck with it!

Canadian customs must be a nightmare. Every year I hear a dozen reports from canadians that order stuff from right across the boarder her and it takes up to a month to get to them due to this "Canada Triangle" at the boarder.

USPS has always been sluggish, but the border hasn't been too too bad in the past .. it is remarkable that I've sent stuff to Belgium faster than to New York City though
Thr current status looks good; the package has been re-shipped, via FedEx, so it should be bloody-well faster, and can be tracked the whole way. Whew!
Its Wed now so doubtful it'll be here Friday.. but possibly? Certainly early next week, worst case.
It might take me a few days to get up to speed, especially with life events going on (tied up most days next week) .. but should finally be able to get to the actoin soon.. couple months late is better than never, though I must say.. its stressful watching from the sidelines!
If only it'd arrived before Xmas.. but maybe just as well.. I used the vacation time to chill out instead of coding for 10 hours a day

We'll see.. from yesterday to today, it got no updates at all.. whatever that 'exception' is. *sigh*
One hopes that tomorrow it hits the border, and then on Friday gets shipped to my door; if tracking shows this, I'll phone them up and ask for them to hold it for pickup and score it on the way home friday, or get it on monday morning when they open.
But if the border holds it, or if this 'exception' means something else.. I'll shoot myself.

no no, the shooting should be reserved for the people who's actually fault it is.

That doesn't sound good, but at least with Fedex you still stand a chance.
Exception with UPS usually means - Hi You've Just Been F**ked!

At least I can yell at someone, and the package can't likely get lost
I just know it'll take 2 weeks more, and thus end up being a full 8 week process

Exception means that something was supposed to happen "except" it didn't. That means in plain english "delay"

Mines on FedEx now, so I've been checking the website; looks like its supposed to be on track to my house tomorrow, assuming it crosses the border without delay. I called 'em up and suggested I'd picm it up and so instead of being on thre truck all day till 5pom, then getting it Monday.. they'll hold it for me at 10am tomorrow morning so I can just drive over and score it.
Lets hope the border duty guys just let it go through unharassed
