If we don't have courier shipping, will we still be notified when it ships?

Ugh, they set it for signed shipping. I guess I'll be calling FedEx and having it reroute to the office. All the girls at work can pick on me for opening it there and salivating at it.
Turns out Jessica Albany was busy today, showing up naked at Alpharius'a house instead of mine. Rumor has it Paris Hilton tried to show up naked instead, and my neighbor beat her off with a broom. I need to bring my neighbor a tray of "thank-you" cookies.

It's all ending up going via courier as RM refused to deal with it as many of the packages were too big/too heavy for them
so I presume everyone will get a courier dispatch note

Woo mine's on it's way, so I almost certainly won't get it today, I'll probably have to go to the local UPS depot to get it instead.

RM absolutely refuses to send any package over 2kg/4.4lb unless it's papers only, then I think the limit is 3 or 5kg. If you try, they just refer you to a courier and that's the end of it, or you take your shipment and split it into amounts of 2kg. Recently experienced this receiving things from a friend over there, 2.9kg and it was cheaper and faster to go by courier than to split it over 2 RM boxes.
In other news, no word yet for me either.

I wouldn't mind, but 3 other friends who went in later than me (first 10 mins of Kickstarter going live lol) have got theirs and are rubbing the plastic crack in my face!
The only plus size is mine is bigger than theirs!

Might be something in that, mine is a relatively small delivery (only adding a few scenery sprues, everything else is a wave 2 item), maybe they're taking a bit more time to get the massive packages together.

Just taking a brief break from packing things to check around online. I'm pretty envious of some of the boxes that are going out! Haven't got my hands on my own copy yet, but the more boxes I pack the more exited I get! Also, Strike Team backers - you guys are getting a crazy quantity of terrain included with your pledge.
I've seen some insane orders, though. One of the ones we packed yesterday contained 80 Core Worlds sprues! Madness.
By the way, I take it you guys saw the Titan Games board? Loads of pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/titangamesltd

Yeah, figured it was the size as i have ordered a lot of the ancelotti's workshop stuff, lot's of the scenery, 4 mats etc. Just me being impatient
Mine is probably a pain to put together, just hoping it arrives before weekend as was hoping to play at my club Tuesday.
Out of interest to the UK guys, anyone planning to go to Total Wargamer this Saturday for the demo games run by Pathfinder Chris?

Well, I missed out on the KS, so ordered a pre-release box, with extra scenery, from my usual eBay shop. Wasn't expecting to see it for a while, so imagine my surprise when it turned up!

A coreworld battlezone was originally 4 sprues wasn't it? 2 of each design. But the sprues got split in half during manufacturing so now it's 8 sprues (but they are half the size of the original planned) so I'm due 144 core world sprues if that's the case (plus 3 fortification and 2 landing pad) storage maybe an issue soon! (I'm looking to fill an 8x4 table with fully built multiple storey buildings before anyone asks - I worked it all out on paper but it will probably still be a shock when I see it in person)

James, should all of the packages have gone out now for those whop paid for courier shipping? A friend of mine still hasn't had a UPS update, and he paid the extra.

Should we set up a separate thread so people can update their Deadzone shipping status in it?
Also - has anyone outside the UK received their pledge rewards yet?
