Mine was one of the 50% that didn't get processed today..
Not that it matters now but I sure wish I knew how they "ordered" the orders.... I know many were able to preorder for one reason or another but most of us had to wait for midnight... I ordered online at 1205 ... If I'm not mistaken someone who ordered via telesales after 9am has a tracking number.... go figure. (Just me whining)

yeh i was going to say you have to figure ups is really backed up and people are without power so it may be a few days to get everything processed and shipped. nothing anyone can do about it when a hurricane hits really. If you ordered youll get one hopefully sometime this week.

yea, but you gotta understand, it's overnight shipping from the time that it actually gets shipped, not from when your order is placed or processed. Say it takes 5 days until the order is processed and boxed in the warehouse and finally scanned in by UPS. As long as it gets to you the day after UPS scans it in, then it's overnight shipping, even though it gets to you a week later.

That's why many retailers also offer expidited processing for an additional charge. That way if you want to pay a premium, you can make sure that you order is processed and shipped the same day. But there is a very big difference between processed and shipped.

Kentucky Governor says 550,000 were without power

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Gov. Steve Beshear says that more than a half-million Kentuckians have been without power due to high winds from the remnants of Hurricane Ike that hit the state Sunday.

That was at the peak of the outages last night.

The governor called it the biggest outage on record in Kentucky. The storms downed trees and power lines as winds reaching up to 70 miles per hour pounded the state. Many schools were closed Monday because of the lack of electricity.

Beshear says 90 percent of Duke Energy's customers in northern Kentucky were without power Sunday night.

He said damage from the winds were reported in half of the state's 120 counties.

I have never seen anything like it before in my life.

No new information about power at UPS...that I have heard.

I was concerned about my order as well. When I ordered through telesales they said to allow 24 hours for processing. It had/has still been "awaiting processing" so I gave them a call wondering what was up. They told me that my order had been processed, it was simply waiting for UPS to pick it up and give it that first scan in order to get my tracking number. I said ok and just left it at that. I'm not sure if she was trying to make me happy or telling me the truth =)
