Same here, this shipment was handled different than all the others... Wasn't sure what they were doing until, I received the shipping notice. Probably should have just checked my ssc account for status update.
Yesterday (Fri) there's unexpected charge from ssc. for smaller amount with no other notifications. Hmm. Then, before midnight, an order shipped email is recieved... lol
No order processing mail. That's the first time they've processed an preorder like that, but I'm wondering if it had something to do with it being paid in full, because the unexpected amount charged was the shipping and tax. I guess you if ever see that happen go and check your ssc account for immediate status on your order. Make sense now.
Anyways, seeing how many were being shipped this week was a positive indication that it may ship very soon. And this actually turned out to be the case. Still, I was surprised! Lol
Funny thing, I was posting and talking about not being worried about the delays, it'll come when it comes yada yada then... shipped! Lol
