Mine has cleared customs in Sydney, which isn't looking good for a Kindle weekend as Sydney is about 1000 miles from me. I have plenty to keep me occupied for the weekend though, so Monday will be all the sweeter!
My Decalgirls skin arrived today and it's VERY nice.

I am still waiting on my new Kindle and am getting a little frustrated. They didnt even fill my order for 2 days and it has been showing "in transit" with no additional information for a few days now.
I received my M-Edge cover and light and today even got my CUSTOM gelaskin. And yet, still no update on the Kindle. I think they are having someone swim from China with it strapped to their back.

I think my Kindle must be taking the scenic route cos Monday has come and gone and I still don't have it.  Hopefully tomorrow! So much for Amazon's delivery date of October 23. In the meantime, I filled my time by making my Kindle a coat.   |

"Delivery arranged no details expected".
Because I am outside the metro area, I expect what's happened is that DHL have delivered to a depot in Melbourne and it will be collected from there by a local courier today and delivered to my house tomorrow (Tuesday). Well, I hope so anyway!

Your lucky Kindle. There is so much to see in Australia. Not that I've seen any of it in person myself. Something about it caught my interest waaaaaaaaaaaay back in grade school. I still want to see it. Hopefully Sundog and I can travel there someday...one day.  |

Here's hoping you get to dress your kindle quickly. Nice coat, very eye-catching. Thanks for sharing.

Still waiting. Today, the 29th, has come and went and my Kindle still shows to be in transit. The last scan shows it "arrived" but no location on the 23rd. And of coarse, finding a phone number to call Amazon is quite an undertaking. |

Well, since Amazon isn't doing the shipping, you really need to contact the carrier. Who is handling the shipping?

Sorry, but I paid my money to Amazon. Until it is delivered, they are responsible for it. I called my credit card and filed a claim.

Well, true enough, but if it were me I would still start with the people who last had it. Phone numbers for Amazon aren't too hard to find--they have contact info that can be reached from the Help page on any Amazon page.... Here's Kindle Support:To reach Kindle Support via phone or e-mail, please click the Contact Us button button on any Kindle Support page. Contacting us through the website allows you to verify security before a call is placed and ensures we have your account information ready when we call you. You can also reach us by calling one of these numbers: Inside the United States: 1-866-321-8851; Outside the United States: 1-206-266-0927 Here's Amazon support:You can still reach us the old-fashioned way but you'll miss out on all the benefits of our faster, easier Call Me service. It's your choice. Click the Call Me button or you can reach us at 1-866-216-1072 to use our automated customer service system. International customers can reach us at 1-206-266-2992. Hope this helps, keep us posted! Betsy |

And of coarse, finding a phone number to call Amazon is quite an undertaking. I finally got mine 6 days after the estimated date, thanks to the ineptitude of DHL. I contacted Amazon via their CS email and they refunded my shipping costs immediately. I phoned DHL repeatedly with my tracking number and they were absolutely useless but at least I found out which carrier they'd passed the goods onto (they don't deliver in my area, it's handled by a sub-contractor) and phoned them and tracked it down. It got here, it's wonderful but it was a very stressful journey for me. Oh, and I filed a complaint with DHL. |
