From what I hear, UPS is not the greatest at keeping their records up to date on their web site. Judging by my LFM1 delivery, there was long bits of silence, then a call for customs clearance, it showed crossing the boarder and a yellow sticker showed up on my door the next day. It seems something is happening, we just don't see it..

Since Monday is a US holiday, I am sure it will delay the process even more..

I always found Fed-Ex better at showing the progress of your package..

I will keep you up to date..

Obiwan,

Even though its a holiday in the US today, I did get a call from UPS to clear customs. My LFM1 took one day after that to reach my door.

UPS tracking went from "Billing Status" to the border with no information in between. So they must use the "Beam me up Scotty" method.. wink

LOL - called 'Oops' today to see if they have an update and ask them if they can hold the units at the Winnipeg hub (as I live JUST out side of town, they sub-contract to a company about 30 minutes FARTHER away then the UPS hub, but I digress). 990 is scheduled for delivery today, hmmm...but it has not cleared customs...hmmm... package has not been scanned since the 25th (website only has an update on the 24th but it was late so could be an east/west coast thing)... 770 scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but again no scans. Said for me to call back later today or tomorrow and see if there are any updates, if not they are going to have to do a trace on the package.

Packages are now in Winnipeg and on route - Oops could not hold the package for me, so at least a couple more days to wait before I can actually catch a driver at my house...

Brokerage fees are HUGE! $253.49 for the 990 and $383.22 for the 770, ouch, add that to the not so great exchange rate (why couldnt the 990 come out a couple of months earlier, hmm?) and I and the wife better REALLY like the combo (not that I doubt that I will) just need to complain about the extra guaging by Revenue Canada.

Congrats trikos!

My 990 is also here! Though the 770 apparently is somewhere between Minniapolis and Winnipeg - though I was told yesterday it was in in Winnipeg... gotta love ups.

All I can say is the unit looks nice and powers up fine... about all I can do till the 770 arrives! smile
