The phone-number is right there on the site,
No voice-mail system , a guy picked right up & he said there's been emails , but no one else had called to check on "the shipping status".
He said that they intend to send out an announcement tomorrow night (1/4) that the orders they have should ship on Tuesday the 8th !
I was on with him 5 minutes ( and 4 seconds ) so there was time to chat about various aspects . . . let's see . . . Well , this whole "tight turnaround window" of getting the product and going into production was certainly a first for them , but we know that.
I asked him also about it's being available to order before midnight on that Friday ( the 21st into the 22nd ) and yes, it was there before the midnight announcement, so those with Order #'s before midnight are valid. ( Not that we really doubted you guys )
Um, I don't tend to be "into names, man" so I forgot to ask him his. I don't recall any other major tidbits revealed , but if I remember any I'll add them in here.
Between the late authoring turnaround & the last minute download delay , they've never had one go like this , but he says they're confident about the announcement & shipping dates . . so we'll see. If there are any more bumps in the road , remember !, I'm only the messenger !!
Fingers crossed / calenders circled !

Wow! Thanks, Big! Cool of you to do. That all really sets my mind at ease! ;D (It's at least something to hope for!)

Wondering : "Hmm , what if their email system is all screwy and it already shipped and it's gonna just appear in my mailbox today and Joel did a demo for the theme too and CT #2 is already in production and *Brain explodes / skull slowly oozes* Better to seek the horses mouth !

Oh, I was racing! Are they going to email, are they going to be backed for weeks, did my card go through okay, did they charge it, wait they didn't, dose that mean, ....on and on into infinity, you know?

Thanks Big, your the Stoopidest! Word.
So, if they ship on the 8th, and add a couple days for shipping, we're looking at another solid week of waiting. Sigh. Must be patient.

I really don't understand why they have to wait to ship.... makes very little sense.

A horses mouth is better than an exploding brain. ... or something. Hey, very cool on getting the scoop and calling. I'd never have thought to try that. Sweet. So... shipping likely on the 8th... and then probably another 3-5 days for arrival... *tries not to hyperventilate*.... should we start a new count down thread? Or something?

I would wait until the “official” word goes out to start geeking out. At least we know now what’s going on with our orders now though. I really don’t blame EZTakes, it looks like they really got overwhelmed, especially considering on how they were probably planning on a lot of their business being downloads.

I really don’t blame EZTakes, it looks like they really got overwhelmed, especially considering on how they were probably planning on a lot of their business being downloads. Absolutely, This was what one guy who answered the phone ( was he an "intern" ? , the C.E.O ? ) told me. I actually did ask him "Well , part of me wants to go leap on the boards and share this with anxious fans , but after the bumps you have hit , and this being the 1st time it's all been like this , do you feel confident about those dates ?" Yes they do . . . But still , new territory for all involved . From Titans on "down" to MsTies, with EZTakes in between. Should it revise again I don't think we'd be astonished ( or kill the messenger ! ) , but it's looking good.

Good work, BS. Did you hear a TV in the background? Maybe he was watching the tube while he burned discs. Did his mom come into the room while you were on the phone? I want to know it all!
