No idea. You all will hate me for this, but I accidently found the reserve link upon my first visit to Outlaw when reading about the pre/pro from AVSForum.

I think about 2:30 Tuesday. Does that sound right?

I will be shipping out tonight according Jamen. I had a CC issue I had to resolve and she said all is good and I should be out the door this evening.

I feel like a 4 yr old.

Heh, heh, heh. You can now remove me from the "annoyed" column and put me into the column of "happy customer".

Well, it's a long story, though. But not too long, I guess. I actually went home at lunch today to see if the 950 was outside my door. No luck. I'd left a note to DHL to please leave the package w/o a signature if he missed me, just in case. Then I came home from work at around 6:00 and though for SURE I'd see the 950. Nope.

Well, I decided to check my e-mail, in a huff, when I noticed a letter from Jamen. My first thought was, "this letter has the reason why my 950 isn't here yet." Well, no, it actually was a form letter with a tracking number. Now, this is very much contrary to my previous Outlaw experience: the product ALWAYS arrives before the tracking number.

So, confused, I visited the DHL page and put in the tracking number, and noticed that it made its merry way here to Mount Laurel, and the last entry was "1st delivery attempt." First attempt? What? It came here, the guy knocked on my door, didn't find me, ignored my note, didn't leave a "sorry we missed you notice," and left? How?

So, I read a bit further and there was a note that said "Driver could not find address. Please call DHL." Hmm, they never were unable to find me before, and I order almost everything from them. I guess "Drunks Handling Letters" is about right; the driver must have been on the sauce today.

So I call up, and get a very helpful lady, who asks to verify my address, and then asks if I can give her directions that she can give to the driver for another attempt tomorrow morning. I griped a bit, and she apologized, saying it must have been a new driver. So, I asked which way he would be coming from, and she said "Moorestown," which is one town over from me.

So, of course, I asked if I'd be able to pick it up today, since that is so close to me. She said sure, and gave me directions; the office would be open to 8:00 PM tonight.

So, I hopped in my car, headed over there, and picked it up. When I arrived, it was actually already sitting on the counter already. I couldn't believe I had it in my hands! The drive home was horrible, with it there beside me on the seat. It took me about 45 minutes both ways (turns out Moorestown is larger than I remembered it) but it was well worth it.

So, I'm unpacking it, setting it up... and you probably won't hear from me on this forum for a few days. Sorry, but I have a feeling that I'm going to be busy.

Peace, all.

Matthew - Several of us have waited a long time until you got your 950. Personally, I have followed this thread to find out when/if you received your unit. Tonight we celebrate. Congratulations!

Now we're waiting on your review.

Regards - Gene

Hear Hear congratulations Matt! Hope you enjoy it as much as everyone has said

Smart Little Lena,
I believe my shipping charge to Dallas via UPS ground is around $28-30.00

------------------

My reservation number is 123 and my 950 was delivered in Michigan at about 2:00 PM EST on May 2nd.

My 950 arrived in Las Vegas Thursday at 4:20 p.m. and I should have it Friday morning. This is my first AV preamp and I will have a little bit of a learning curve getting it set up. I have been following 950 development for many months and recieved my registration reply seventeen minutes after the opening bell. # 111 is in town and almost in my hands.

Matthew -- Great news! I was hoping yours would reach you before the weekend.

I'm off = to add two more to the "received" count.

OK, I'm mildly perturbed.

I'm #87, but I just called, and mine didn't even go out until last night, and the email is just now going out.

I guess they are not strictly following the numerical order.

Anyone know if DHL delivers on Saturday like FedEx ground? If I don't get it today, I'm going to be kind of cheesed off.

BB

If it went out by DHL last night, it will most likely arrive today. In fact, some people have reported getting their units delivered before the tracking number e-mail arrived.
