Waiting For Helix Stadium?

[GTR37]

Surprisingly not seeing much chatter about Stadium orders being fulfilled around the interwebs. Saw one single person claim to get a FedEx shipping notification for a Monday delivery.

DI must have given us priority treatment.

Go on FB groups there is a lot
Of useless speculation and a severe lack of reading comprehension , it honestly frustrating as people keep saying the same thing over and over even in posts DI has specifically made saying ignore everything you are told unless Frank or myself post it

Yeah but actually getting charged for a product when MF/GC state they won't charge until shipped is totally different than word of mouth dates of release imo

You think if I had put my username in there with a wink, I’d get it faster?

“Bro, I’m not just any Wookiee. Im PaisleyWookiee. Let Digital Igloo, er, Eric Klein know who this is.”

Ya that one seems bit unprofessional , if you are being charged in full for a product they are not expecting in stock for another month

I originally pre-ordered through Sweetwater, and then found I had a Stadium-eligible 20% off MF coupon in my email, so I switched to MF recently. My card hasn't been charged yet. But my out the door price for Stadium XL and backpack is $60 less than MSRP for the Stadium XL alone, so I'll wait happily.

Just got my "Your Gear is on it's Way!" email from GC. Christmas is estimated to be Wed 11/5.

Very interesting. Sweetwater still says it's a little bit further than that out for me, but I guess we'll have to see.

Yeah it sounds like GC and maybe MF jumped the gun by a couple weeks, and people in the initial wave will have to cool their heels before they can update the firmware to what Line 6 wanted to have out there for initial users. Booking some sales in October was probably too big of a temptation for the retailers.

It's possible in my case they generated a shipping label and intend to sit on it for a couple weeks. Despite what GC said, I haven't heard from UPS that they have the package in their possession.

For color, I called MF to check on the status of my order. The rep could only confirm they had me forecasted to receive one by Nov 14th. She said they’ve had a ton of calls today to check statuses.

No shipping notice yet.

I would think if they are still in the GC warehouse and have not been picked up
By fed ex or UPS they could be stopped or held but if it’s started to ship that’s going to be tough

Lastest status on mine was "In transit to UPS", and you're right, until UPS get's it/them, it can be halted. I hope this wasn't just a ruse for GC to get their hands on the money two weeks faster, and that the intent is to sit on them a couple weeks, calling them "shipped" to justify the billing. We'll see what happens in the next few days.

AM update: The status of my preorder now shows delivery this coming Tuesdsay instead of Wednesday. The caveat is that the status still shows UPS as having not received it yet. I'm excited to get the thing, but for DI et. al.'s sake I hope it's just a case of GC piling up labeled boxes on their outbound loading dock while they wait for the green light from Line 6.
