Yep. I called about 50 times between 8:30 and 9:00 and got a busy signal each time.instantkamera wrote:I considered getting an extra one just to save for a BTer but I honestly didnt think it was going to be that hard to get since my wife and I both got through within 5 mins. We're both vets at this phone race thing though. I didnt realize the lines go busy. Lame.

I got a busy signal for the first 10 or so tries then got through. There was about a 10 minute wait on hold then I placed the order... If you count the last 2 years that I missed out on this I guess I waited 730 days and 10 minutes
I thought this was a 1 per person limit? If not I would have grabbed a couple for friends who I know will be trying today as well.

I don't always drink beer ... because sometimes my friends win and we have to go to macro-only establishments.

I didn't order a second anyway.
Same time frame here. Not in a hurry, I *might* open it during the holidays though.groulxsome wrote:What estimates for delivery time was everyone else given? I got 2-3 weeks. The guy said I was in the last 2/3s of the allotment...

If I recall correctly, last time they were saying 4-6 weeks and delivered (some, at least) within 2-3, so Im guessing they mean for this to be in our hands before the festive season begins.The Mick wrote:I got a 4-6 week time frame, but that's for Ottawa... the way distribution works here, I'll be happy to receive it before March...groulxsome wrote:What estimates for delivery time was everyone else given?
