I ordered some helmets for my IG guard. Its been almost 30 days and have yet to receive them. I check both my post office, and UPS. But nothing..

Is it by chance it takes longer then what it says becuase I live on the west coast? Because some how I got this horrible feeling they sent it by pony express

Have you contacted FW?

Not yet I was going to give them tell the end of this week. The problem I'm worried about really is I live in a big house with 10 residences. Plus I'm not around the place to much. I would hate to have the package sent back particularly if it truly does take a month. I'm probably really curious on how long other people have had to wait for there orders to get in.

I dont understand why your first instinct is to post on an internet forum about your problem where none of us can help you, rather than contacting forgeworld yourself

becuase your missing the question I presented. Which would associate with other people around the west coast. For all I know they dropped it off at new york and are now ground shipping it to me. I'm asking people here for there experiences on how long it takes.

Edit: also what better place to rant about my impatience for cool FW stuff then at dakka

I know how you feel. I'm waiting for my FW order for 4th week now.
It used to be around one week to get stuff from there before

I just got my Tomb Stalker last Friday. It only took two weeks. I live on the east coast near Boston.

You should have gotten a tracking number. If you didn't log into your account, it might be there.

I would contact em. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Heh.. it's a shame you don't live in the U.K, I had an order arrive the day after I placed the order.. Talk about fast!

I live in Houston, Texas. It typically takes 3 weeks for me to get something when I order direct from Forge World.

I live in Colorado Springs, Co. It's never taken longer than 10 days for me, typical is generally 7 days.

I live in Hereford, Herefordshire... takes about 5 days, usually less, for something to get here.

On the East Coast here, the longest I've had to wait for a FW order since they revised their website and streamlined their shipping methods was around 10 days(and that was for a small replacement piece for a Tarantula Sentry Gun)--and that was affected heavily by inclement weather(which is entirely possible in your case, given the snowstorms that have been hitting the mid-eastern US). Your helmets are likely going to be coming via USPS, as it's not until you get into the bigger pieces like terrain or large amounts of vehicle kits that they use UPS. Add around 3-4 days for smaller bits due to the postal service, then try to figure out how many days there's been airport closures between you and the eastern seaboard...

It gets hectic to figure out, but eventually you'll get it. Anything past two weeks with no inclement weather involved--you call like there's no tomorrow

A few of my customers in the US have been waiting 4-5 weeks lately for stuff sent by regular post (air mail). Everything sent in Jan has taken ages.
