I'm finding this "waiting on a truck" thing a little suspicious at this point.

I'd call Georgianna to find out what's up.

I did last Thursday. She told me about the rain and they hope to have truck this week.

I understand that Bloomington isn't a metropolis where you can get a carrier to pick up a load right away, but 2 weeks seems awfully long.

I may be wrong. If I am, someone please feel free to enlighten me.

Good advice - so I did. I'm sorry to say that I'm getting a bit "Anxious" over this.

Dont shoot the messenger!!

I Spoke to Georgiana today at about 2:00pm Pacific time regarding the status of the final shipments. She told me there are about 19 or 20 machines that are still there waiting for ABF and a few more waiting for their owners to pick them up.

She told me that she does not have a date when ABF will be picking them up because they have not heard back from ABF nor have they been scheduled for pickup yet. Georgiana hopes to hear back from the shipping company by the end of next week hopefully with a date that they will be able to pick them up.

She also mentioned that ABF sat all day on June 1, waiting for the rain to stop and then the next day when they loaded the majority of them they were one truck short for some reason.

She mentioned that there were many problems with BBB from the start and she was not surprised that there were problems at the very end with shipping. She even jokingly said that it would probably rain again during the next scheduled delivery and cause a longer delay.

BTW: She also wanted everyone to send her a real photo (not e-mail) with the owners unpacking the game and another playing their first game.

If you are worried about your games we have them and they are safe.

We are trying to get the detail for the last of the games worked out.

I don't have any information because I am not the one trying to line everything up.

We apologize to those that are waiting for games. We want these games shipped as much as anyone.

As soon as we have a shipping date the information will be posted.

With the majority of them shipped we can now post the dates without having to worry about interference.

Would it be possible to arrange pick up via another trucking company? I mean having a freight company pick it up and deliver to me.
