Ok I am sure this has been answered before, but I didn't aske it :P


I ordered mine from Amer. It was sent via DHL. As of 19 Aug at 2:47 am it was in Bahrain. It hasn't moved as far as tracking it goes. Anyone else know what is going on or if this is normal for movement? I checked my mothers and it is the same. Just curious and how long did it take you to get your money. I am on the West Coast just to let you know. Thanks :)

I had a similar experience. All of a sudden it was in UK. Then-BAM!! It was in my grubby hands.

Amer is ok.

Same for me. Only happened one time. Made me nervous, though. Mine took almost a week to get here, from when Amer sent it. It also had been opened (the outer package) with a handwritten note on it. The original packaging from Amer had not been tampered with.

Their tracking system is not consistant, either.

Poor Amer, it's probably driving him nuts, too.

Wonder if Gmcelroy (or something like that :o ) ever got his worked out???

No I totally know it isn't Amer. No fault of his at all. I am concerned with DHL. It isn't like Amer has much of a choice who sends it, but I am concerned nonetheless with DHL. Ok. So I am hoping for no later then Tues? I ordered it on Tues this week. so that make a week. Enough time to start freaking out. :no:

it took 6 days total for mine to get to florida. it seemed as though the DHL tracking was a day off. the morning the courier showed up, the site said the package was at the cincinatti hub. good luck to you!! :wave:

don't use the DHL USA page...use the link amer sent you with your order confirmation...
try this then punch in your tracking number

I moved in to college the other day (State University of West Georgia) and I was going to wal-mart to get some things I forgot. While I was walking up to the store I saw a big yellow mail van that said DHL!!!! I was excited, because DHL made me think of this, which makes me think of dinars, which gets me very excited. Anyway...I just wanted to share my exciting spotting.

I bought my million from Amer and got them in just over a week. I too am on the left coast, I mean, the west coast. Funny thing was that Airborne did the final delivery. The web site that was sent to me by Amer was very good in tracking.

Hope it goes well.

I've never had a bad time with DHL yet (knocking on wood). Airbourne usually delivers it since DHL will only try delivery once.

Airborne delivers to me, too. I've not had the pleasure of seeing the cute yellow truck. Doesn't matter to me, though. Just so long as I get my package! ;)

Yeah, I don't think DHL can deliver on a military base anyway. I know that Airbourne Express and UPS are in Fife, and they deliver on post. Ya my mom and I should get it on Monday. I can't wait to play with it. hee hee
