I just checking my shipping status. I placed over a $1000 show on Tuesday. It still has not shipped. It still says received status. The two shows I placed on Thursday have shipped out already. GRRR>
 
There is already another thread going on about shipping, so you can read my comments there.

The HO is well within their shipping guidelines, so don't fret.
 
Don't forget that when you submit a show in the last 3-4 days of the month, so does everybody else and they get backed up!

I know that they are slower at the end of the month. What I don't get is that they have shipped the two shows I submitted on the 3rd before the one placed on the 1st.
 
Larger shows tend to ship slower. There is also the possibility that there is something wrong with the order - call HO.
 
They sometimes screw up the updates and your show may have shipped out already. Sometimes I get shows and it still says received.
 
I've actually had good luck. My mix n' chops weren't supposed to come until this Friday and they showed up Saturday AM! My guests sure were happy that the wait wasn't as bad as they thought!
