Mine just entered awaiting transport status today, so I'm sure it's not on that boat. BTW, what date was your order processed? How long was yours "awaiting transport"?

Mine sat at the port awaiting transport for roughly 10 days. ABSOLUTE TORTURE. But there's a little story behind this.

Initially I was told that, due to my special order, I would have 8-10 weeks added to my wait time, for an Aug/Sept delivery. Despite the long time, I was fine with that.

But then, due to an unknown and fortunate series of events, my allocation got moved up significantly. It went into production in May, and I was told it would likely be here 2 months earlier. But when it started sitting in port for days on end, I was worried my luck was running out! (from what I've read, a boat usually comes every 3-4 days. However due to the global financial/economy crisis, production has been cut and the wait times have increased)

So don't fret if it takes some time!

Thanks for the info. I know what you mean about the waiting being torture.

So what's your special order?
