Thanks for the update. I'm resigned to not getting it until I'm in Calgary after Xmas.

Indeed.  I hate b.s. so when I got the old "trying to send this week and it's Chrismas and so busy" crap I decided to write them a pithy but polite note.  If nothing else, I got a reply from someone higher up on the pecking order.  We'll see if it does me any good.

Apparently, that's exactly what they're getting.

One of the things I always try to talk to my proposal clients about is underpromising and overdelivering. Much better than the other way around, as it seems like someone's learning, the hard way.

Just got a text saying mine was shipped!

[CanadianHomeChef]

Checked my FedEx shipping number. It's being shipped directly from China.

Congratulations!  Do they give an estimated arrival date?  (I haven't received mine yet.  Boo hiss)

12/20/2017 by 8:00 pm.  Probably won't get it until after Christmas though as it still needs to shipped from Portland to Canada. I'll be in my current location until Christmas, but after that I'm heading to Calgary. Don't want to miss the arrival of the shipment, so I might put off part 2 of the journey. Will see what my shipping options are.

(I heard from my niece last night.  The unit arrived last Tuesday.  She forgot to tell me!!!  @rotuts I did not get anything remotely like the shipping notification that you got.  I did get a memo type thing saying a split shipment had been shipped.  It had a picture of the pots and pans on it so I ignored it thinking they were telling me about a shipment I had already received.  I feel like a trout, as the saying goes in these parts.  So, it's in Syracuse and we will either go and pick it up Tuesday or she will bring it up at Christmas.  It will get it's first test between Christmas and New Year's as I will make some oliebollen and maybe some appleflappen, two Dutch staples served New Year's Eve.  Sure hope it works as advertised.
