Personally, I have no f'ing clue how Scout's got damaged. Although the exterior of my box was a bit mangled in the corners, there is a substantial amount of packing within, as we all know. My tower was in great condition thanks to Apple's packing. Picking up the package was something completely different though. Since the FedEx guy decided not to leave the tower like he left my ACD, I had to drive to the regional sorting facility, which was 25min away, and then wait for them to find it on the truck for 10m, then make my way out through security. That was just more than I asked for, but I've got it and it's here.

That's the strange thing I can't figure out either. My box was almost pristine. No dents or dings at all. But the styrofoam was broken on the inside. When I figure out how to post pics I'll show you all what I'm talking about.
Mine's been "At dest sort facility" for more than 24 hours...
Mine just got to the "dest sort facility" a few hours ago. Hope it ships soon - it's supposed to be here tonight. I hope someone's at home to claim it. If not, do they take it back to the "dest sort facility" or just to the post office?
And my RAM got delayed by my stupid debit card hating me and not accepting my address.
ARGHH!! How long will it be on the truck? I have to be somewhere at 2!
I don't know about FedEx, but with UPS, if you call early enough in the day, you can pick it up yourself at the Dist. Center later the same day. But you've gotta call early so they can put it aside...
Hahaha, leave some kind of note and hope they accept it. Because it's more of a 4:00-7:00 deal, sadly for you. (or were you overnight?)
I was 2-3 day. Yeah, probably 4-7. I am skipping my 2pm class I think, and then the next thing I've got is at 6. Have to run out and pick up speaker cable I think. maybe food too...
So it's finally my estimated shipping day. Problem is, the order status page has been unavailable... ALL DAY!!
I called and they said it's ready to ship and should ship "in the next 12-24 hours." Where are they shipping from? The way it's going, I bet it's shipping from somewhere where "24 hours from now" = "too late to go out that night", which means effectively a Thursday ship date.
My original ship date WAS today, but when I called to check on it, I was told it was now the 18th due to "unexpected high demand." I spoke with a supervisor who knocked $100 off my order for the delay; I had already gotten upgraded to overnight shipping. Frustrating!

This machine is gorgeous, looks amazing on the inside, and runs fantastically. I will have photos later this evening. Thank you all!
Now tell me about your shipping to reassure me.
