You do know Monday is President's Day, therfore banks, post offices and probably the other carriers will be off.

I checked and UPS does not recognize Presidents day as a holiday.

well, this is kind of annoying. I had two pre-orders, and got the shipping notice for just one of them. seems odd they wouldn't have just combined the two orders into one.
but hey, at some of them are on their way! w00t!

Bummer, I did not get a notification yet.  Hopefully that will be in my email shortly.

I only received notice for one of my two pre-orders as well. They might be combining orders. I just looked up the tracking, while the tracking has no info other than expecting a package from Topps, mine says 3 boxes in the shipment so that would cover my 2 orders.

doesn't look to be combined, the shipping notice lists the number of boxes just from the first order. It'd be a nice surprise though if they were.

OS 3 shipped?! This is like whiplash, as I had grown comfortable with all of the numerous delays       ;)

I tease my wife she works for a large US corporation that works on Presidents day but gives MLK Day as a vacation day. I tell her she works for fascists. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I got my shipping notification from Topps this afternoon!

Sounds like most have gotten shipping confirmation for pre-orders.  I didn't.  Anybody else shut out (so far)?

Cool, now (hopefully) I will celebrate by opening Olds 3 in honor of our presidents.

But I was shut out so far too as far as receiving an email confirmation.

On the truck and out for delivery. In other words, you will be the last schmuck we deliver to today.

Yup, mine says scheduled delivery by end of day which is usually around 6PM but I have gotten packages as late as 8:30PM. I once asked the driver how many stops he makes and he said it depends on how many packages get loaded onto his truck. He said he usually has around 300 stops! That's crazy if you ask me.

Well, I just got another shipping confirmation for the original 6 boxes so my other order wasn't combined.

I finally got a shipping notice for one order of 6 boxes, but it's too early to track.  Looks like I'll be a 'have not' this weekend, which is going to be very tough......  :-[

You east coasters are spoiled :-*

It takes a week to get to CO. I generally have to pay obscene amounts of money to overnight or 2nd day air. I'm too impatient to wait a week to crack sketches...LOL

Spoiled NYers also get to pay $20 tax on a 6 box pre-order   >(

I'm just disappointed because if they had shipped anything to me yesterday, I'd have had it to enjoy over the weekend.  As Maxwell Smart would say, "Missed it by THAT much!!"

Yeah, it really adds up, for both Topps Online Store purchases and Topps Vault auctions.  I must comfort myself with the knowledge that my Wacky tax dollars are being used wisely.........

Got a Smokin Joe sketch card (a guy smoking!), one complete set and not quite enough for a second set.  BUT you got your tan backs, Ludlow backs, thick card white backs, checklists, etc...

It goes on and on!
