Here we are. July 1. Mine was one of the very first ordered. Mine hasn't shipped. I'm guessing no one elses has either. So, why the delay? Is it really that difficult to get something bought a MONTH in advance out on time? Garrus is supposed to be shipped out by 7 more days, and I'm kind of doubting that's going to happen.

I doubted that this would ship july 1st even if it did I didn't think it would get far it being a friday and all. Would expect it to ship on a Monday but that is July 4th so I will go with Tuesday. Same with Garrus I expect him to go out on Monday instead of Friday just makes more sense to me to ship things begining of the week. Part of me is glad though that mine hasn't shipped yet I was worried it would be sitting outside since I had to go visit family. Can't have my team litho sitting out in 114 degree heat. D:

It's possible we'll get an e-mail notice overnight stating that the lithograph has shipped. That's how it's always been in the past as far as I can recall.

I have to agree with the 'overnight' or 'Tuesday' statements, what with this being a holiday weekend in the US. Besides, I think I remember it saying it would ship ON July 1st, as opposed to BY the 1st, so to be honest I would have been shocked if it had indeed gone out this morning/earlier. o.O' Definitely can't wait to see this litho, though...

this is what it says about pre-sale shipping.

"PRE-SALE: This lithograph will ship by July 8, 2011. Please note that ship dates on pre-sale items are estimates. Other items puchased in the same order as a pre-sale item will be held until all items are available to ship."

I think the team litho said "by" as well. Though the reason they may also be late is because I think they are printed in Canda and they just came off their postal strike. So, they have to work through all the mail that hasn't been delivered for who knows how long.

" They're printed by Bioware up in Edmonton I believe, and are then shipped to Treehouse's warehouse/distribution center in Denver. I remember one of the releases (it might've been Wards/Korlus but I'm not positive) was delayed a week because the bulk shipment of lithographs from Edmonton to Denver got tied up in customs for some reason."

Just taking stabs at possble answers.

Hey everyone;

Someone asked this on their Facebook wall, and here's the response treehouse gave them;

"Jonathan - we had a slight customs delay in processing the items, which pushed them back by a few days. We were trying to ship the 1st week in July, but it might end up at the very beginning of the 2nd week. My apologies won't suffice - but hopefully that gorgeous print will make up for it!"

Hope this helps assuage any fears and impatience!

This is a bit of a ridiculous excuse. There is no reason they should have waited as long as they did to get them printed and shipped to the warehouse. Why in the world would you wait until the last week of June to have them shipped over?

Bioware may have pushed a lot of these deadlines, my understanding is the Facility sending these over from canuckistan is a Bioware facility, not a Treehouse facility, and the onus of poor timeliness may land on Bioware's head.

I also think there's no excuse for getting bent out of shape over a week's delay, though. This isn't a perishable product, a week's time is not physically hurting anyone, except perhaps the ebay resellers. But I take a slightly sick joy in watching them and their poorly planned selling-what-they-dont-physically-have plan take it in the rear a bit now.

You forgot that it was Canada Day on July 1st. Most of the customs agents were probably on holiday

Heh heh.  It's worth waiting an extra few days if it might make them sweat just a little. :)

the whole Pre-sell thing in general is pretty ridiculous. It's not like they're taking time to stock up on pre-orders...there not using it as a reason to tell how many they should produce. They announce them MAYBE 2 days in advance, and they sell 500, usually pretty quickly. So...what's the point? Why not just sell them as they come in, and avoid the whole issue of "why haven't they shipped yet?"

Just a side note: the lithographs are definitely not printed within the BioWare Edmonton offices. Sorry to burst your bubbles.

Hello All,
We let you know about estimates on shipping and update the site if/when that information changes. We have to print the items, approve the printing, and make sure they are shipped in PERFECT condition to us in order to try to get them to you in the best condition possible. Safe shipping is not always the fastest method, and customs delays on large orders can push things even further. The Team litho especially needed special care, hence the very slight delay.

They are arriving this week, and will begin shipping on Friday or Monday. As always, an email will be sent with all pertinent shipping information when the items leave our warehouse.

Ah, the clarification is appreciated. this was simply something someone had posited on a past delay that had been boiled down to Canadian customs. (I believe the customs part, I've spent more time at the border of canada being inspected than I have in Canada!) S'what we get for playing telephone with already faulty data!

Weren't they printed in Seattle or something like that? I seem to remember there being a discussion about items being shipped past customs TWICE just in order to get to the THBS warehouse.

Just curious, did anyone receive a shipping notification yet? I also ordered an Archangel litho that was supposed to ship by the 8th.

I mentioned this in the Archangel litho thread its probably more relevant here. I got a shipping confirmation of The Team litho about an hour ago. Seems like they are on the way!

I haven't received a shipping confirmation email yet for the team. I got a lithograph in the first batch. Have all emails been sent?
