Dear Tom Patton,
The product that you have purchased is a made to order product. This means when the order is placed, our manufacturing department starts the process of creating the product, this can take up to 7 business days to complete. At that time the product will ship out and a tracking number will be emailed to you.
How fscking quaint. a hand crafted product, built to order. What is this, the 1890s? I wonder if these folks are familiar with the assembly line concept of mass production. I mean, you'd think they could plan ahead based on past orders and say, have a few thousand boxes ready for shipment...
I ordered my 10.2 boxed set yesterday, with 2nd day air - but if they take a friggin week to ship it, I've just wasted my money. Hopefully the message quoted above is just boilerplate passed along by some well meaning drone - if not, I'll be rather disappointed in Novell's ability to plan and execute.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of this fine list :-) - I know not much about the US postal system nor other distributional matters in your part of the world. - But let me tell you of a small (one man show, I don't know??) business in my part of the world, Denmark. See www.linuxpusher.dk, they'll burn CD/DVDs and ship them same day. Prices is the cost of burning, shipping and a small reasonable profit. - If legal (?) in the US, such a small entrepreneur would solve at least one of the box problems that I gather you have - from reading this thread. - and a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY New Year to you all too ! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Denmark. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
