For those that don't know what Jack is talking about:

No, I expect that I will use the ECBX2 whenever I need massive
quantities:-) I can fit 17 5# chickens in it as a time. I serious doubt
that I can do that in the WSM:-)

Mathew,

When did you order it?
I'm curious if they will ship mine earlier than anticipated as well?

Well congratulations. I ordered mine on 2-13. Still has not shipped.
Darn. How are they shipping yours? I asked and they didn't answer. I
am hoping it is shipped by UPS.

Happy Q'en,

I also ordered mine on 2-13, got the email that it had shipped on
2-27, UPS ground, 5-9 business days.

Hope mine ships this week. I got a turkey, rack of ribs and a butt in
the freezer. I REALLY need to get the WSM soon.

You wanna sell your #1?

I just received an email that they shipped my WSM. 3 weeks earlier than the
invoice stated. YES!
I placed my order on 2/22/04.

I got the same shipment notification on Friday the 27th myself. Shipping
UPS ground and so far tracking tells me only that it left Lexington, KY.

Patience is NOT one of my more polished character traits!

No way! This second #3 is my brother's. He has mine, Con-Way's main terminal
for central Florida is in Orlando, if I pick his up, it saves $$$ and we will
trade his #3 for my #3 at the Florida Fest NEXT weekend.

You (and those 4 new Kamado owners in the Daytona area) really *should* drop by,
at least on Saturday, March 13th.

I had intended to do that, but I'm working on a Habitat for Humanity house
for a bunch of weekends in a row. I guess I'll just buy a new #1 some day.

Come by for the Meet and Greet on Friday then, any time after 1PM
(look at the BGE -mini)(there will be at least one at the Florida Fest)
BUT *I* didn't say that!

FWIW, UPS has finally admitted to having taken possesion of my WMS in
Horsham, PA. Since I live in Central MA, I could have it in my breezeway
as early as Wednesday:-)


or....

UPS could decide that five business days is fast enough and hold it in
Shrewsbury for a few days:-(

I doubt UPS will hold it any longer than necessary. I have had stuff
delivered in 2 days using standard service. Once they get possession of
a package, they want to get it delivered ASAP. Makes the customer happy,
makes the merchant look good and makes UPS look good too. All around,
everybody wins.

Though customers could order standard service when they really wanted it
delivered sooner and this would deprive UPS of the additional moneys.
But the customer does not have a legitimate complaint if it is not
delivered when they wanted it. Of course, it may not prevent some
customers from complaining anyway. They gambled, they lost. It can
happen, especially around holidays.

I would expect it to be delivered on Wednesday. Can we expect pics on
Thursday of your first cook? :-)

That's funny, mine is being shipped by FedEx ground. They must have multiple
distribution centers.

The WSM arrived on Tuesday. I opened the box today. UPS is going to pick
it up next week to take it back to Amazon. It was ruined in shippping:-(
All of the major body parts are dented or severely distorted with
chipped and broken porcelain. I ordered replacement parts from Weber
(for free) but I am going to cancel and wait for a replacement to be
shipped by Amazon.
