I received an email yesterday that Axiom shipped my order, 2 m60's, vp150, ep350, 2 qs8's and was told I could start tracking the shipment as early as 7pm. Don't think I was getting excited...anyway at about 7:30 CST I checked it last night and it showed leaving Barrie, CA, all is good so far. Then this morning around 9am I checked and it showed leaving the ramp in Missa?????, CA last night at like 8:30PM so I figured that meant the flight to Memphis, TN (customs) and I'm still excited. Then later this afternoon I checked it again, and magically the Missa????, CA information vanished and it was just back to showing the Barrie, CA information from 6:23pm yesterday? I called FedEx and they really could not give me any additional information than what I showed and were confused on why information would vanish, they did tell me I should still get it tomorrow and could pick it up at Fed Ex as early as noon, ok so I'm starting to feel good again. About 3 hours ago I called them again to see if there was any update since the website had not changed a bit 24hrs later. The gal told me it left Missa????,CA at 8AM today, in which I commented how strange that was becuase early this morning it said it left at like 8:30PM the previous night, but then the entry vanished. I just called them again and this guy told me it left Missa?????, CA and then went to Toronto, CA and left there like at 3PM today. I'm really starting to get worried that once it finally reaches Memphis, TN and has to go through customs, that I won't get it tomorrow as promissed by Axiom for the 2 day Express delivery. I know this is by no means Axioms fault, as I am eternally greatful for all they have done, and more than likely it will arrive, if it hasn't already, in Memphis, TN and be in Des Moines,IA's International Airport easily by tomorrow and I'll still be able to leave work early and pick this babes up.

Just curious if my story is familiar, and I am just freaking out for no reason....can you tell I'm a little excited about getting these speakers?

thanks, Randy

Yeah, it's pretty typical. If the speakers don't show up tomorrow, then you can worry a bit. Missauga, CA is customs or something.

Sounds like my shipment. I remember getting really excited, thinking, "Okay, they're in California now". Oops. Forgot where they were coming from...

Yeah that CA thing caught me off guard for a few seconds, but then I remembered reading another post in the past about others getting confused by the CA and thinking what the heck are my Axioms doing out there? I guess if you live in Cali it would not be as much as a shocker...just checked Fed Ex again, still showing Barrie, CA at 6:23pm yesterday, I think there web server needs help....

That's pretty typical for FedEx. However, they seem to be doing a better job of delivering than UPS these days.

Yeah and now we have DHL in these nice little yellow vans running around. I just had to call the company and complain because we live in a private acreage development and this guy must have been doing 60 on our rock road and the speed limit is like 25 mph. It pissed me off becuase my son and other kids were walking from the bus on the side of the road and this nut could have hit one of them...maybe I should have used him instead of FedEx, I would be listening to them already, give me warp drive Scottie....yes Captain...

They're worried about DHL stealing away all their customers. I've noticed a lot more packages coming to work via DHL lately.

Funny, UPS doesn't seem concerned. Let's just ship some more stuff late! Yup yup yup. And then we'll only stay open until 6 so people can NEVER pick up their packages!

Actually, "Missa..., CA" most likely refers to Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, which is a suburb of Toronto.

AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEsome.

My speakers left Customs in Memphis,TN this morning at 5am and arrived in the lovely metropolis of Des Moines International Airport at 7:30am, and Fed Ex called me and said they are waiting for me for pickup at the FedEx facility right on my way home. Ok now I have to think of an excuse to tell my boss so I can leave early

Since my basement is not totally done, I'll have to set them up in our upstairs living/family room and set the Denon 2805 on top of my entertainment center, just so I can listen to these gems....Ok my boss just emailed the team and said he was outa here for the rest of the day, so after I go eat some General Tso Chicken at the local Chinese joint, I'm outa here.....

Thanks Bigjohn, I hope to at some point put some pics togethor of my construction process from beginning to end...
