I think it will be on or about that date depending on the shipping company!! there maybe a day or two "fudge" time.

Knowing Chris, there will be no "fudge time". He'll have then there at your door on the day he claims. if its not, well sue the shipper! i almost wouldnt be suprised to see more puzzles show up early rather than late.

If Santa Claus can do it! so can Chris :P



Although I would cut him a day or two. He has gone a bit quite lately, and no pictures have turned up :?

I do hope it's not a repeat of SW, what am I saying....... :cry:

Push thoughts from my mind, Tomorrow will be a great day. :D ....won't it! :roll:

now now cornett. thats no way for a 500 club member to be talking. you love SW too and are just frustrated (as we all are).

just remember, just because chris takes care of business a lot better than andrew doesnt mean we love him any less.

oh no i wasnt trying to be that negative to SW
just a statement of fact.....
i am not partial to either side ..they are both puzzle companies and i compare them too often i think.. :oops:


as you may already know they shipped today....thats as close to making the goal as you can possibly get....not "another month"...and he already has the greens .....lets cut him a tiny bit of slack on the first one....as we know from experience it must not be that easy to have a puzzle manufactured..
i am perfectly content with this situation and suggest everyone else should be as well!
;)

So the first SE Blue's have made it into the hands of their owners, which means before the end of the day we might actually see names on the leaderboard. good thing theres 40 positions. hope to see us all up there!

I got my email from Chris yesterday (Monday US time).

So I figure it will be state side by the end of this week or beginning of next.

There is no cheap way to get stuff from UK to US quickly. But that's fine... I'm used to that in dealing with international orders.
