Thats an autoresponse copy and paste email,i got the exact same email.
Mine was from TA presale and i still dont have it.
How many of you ordered through TOOLARMY and dont have your items yet?
Kinda stupid to send me a shipped email 2 and a half weeks ago and not really ship anything. Look on your credit card statement there is the toolband phone number.
Im calling in a couple days,fuck it.
I was happy to find mine in my belgian mailbox yesterday. It's awesome. It has all 4 signatures on it. The novelty usb is strange. I'm also not one of the Seal of Xatanitos winners.

I was just told by merch if u recieved a shipping email before april 2nd it was a glitch in the system. At least thats what i was told,and something about the band members being behind on getting everything signed.
emailed 'em this morning, got a very prompt response. apparently there had been a glitch with the first "shipping" notice ...which wasn't supposed to be sent out - something automated. actual shipment hadn't started until after the 2nd ..."band members were a little behind on signing". so it's all good. i just needed to hear something about my specific order. seems the same could go for others still waiting. so, i know enough now to calm down... s'al good, man.
"I believe there was a glitch in our automated emailing system because no
packages were shipped before 4/02/2013. We didnt have them until April
1st because the band members were a little behind on signing all 5000
copies. Our systems show that your order hasn't been sent out yet. So we
will notify you via email with your packages tracking info as soon as it
has been shipped. We apologize for the delays
TOOL ORDERS"
(...if you wanted to read the same thing over and over...)
true ...i had the post window open for three hours, tho (to explain myself - damn you marijuana!) wanted to copy/paste the copy/paste (+ answer your question). would delete if i could.
You're lucky yours says processing,mine says new and the order was placed almost a month ago. I wish merch would look into orders when u email them instead of getting the same autoresponse email.
On the up side, all of you still waiting have a greater possibility of getting the "golden ticket." Thousands have been shipped, and so far no one here or on fourtheye have gotten lucky.

Re: anniversary opiate
well I pre ordered mine through toolarmy. I sent them an email before the onsale date because there was no hold on my cc. Long story short because I was not willing to take the chance and buy it twice on accident, I am not getting one period because my order is fucked and they sold out. They still have not responded to my communication and I am positive I ordered one. Didn't get charged but that sucks I wanted the golden ticket.
are you worried it's gonna take another 2-3 weeks and cannot wait that long or are you not sure they had even verified anything on your specific order? (due to auto-response emails, supposed "glitches", hundreds of orders already fulfilled/cherished, etc.) this is still within the "please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery" time-frame, in fact we've a little more than three weeks to go. my order is still considered "new" - but i'm not going to worry about anything until may 17th. (yeah, it is ridiculous ...i don't care if you're "'not amazon" - #rereleasefail)
Its that most people ive spoke to that ordered from ToolArmy have had an order status of processing for a while but mine has just been new this whole time and it was placed march 22......as funky as tool armys computer system is i wonder if some glitch deleted a bunch of orders. Most people have their order now. A lot of them in other countries as well.
we're in identical situations then, still. i'm thinking it'd be easy to account for 5,000 units (TA sale = only 1,000 ...even 4 days to count it out); a glitch causing lost orders would be noticeable and easy to correct, respond to - especially when money has been transferred (in my case, payment has been made ...the correct/full order amount has been withdrawn from my bank account, weeks ago). the only worry there is if they took in more than 1,000 + 4,000 orders, and then "something" happened... but that's unlikely. heh, i mean, if there were ever a band who knew how to count...
also, i bet orders to other countries had forced express/air/whatever - they paid more. i went ground, bc i'm cheap and the option was there. might have something to do with it. bet they prioritize things that way.
You use toolarmy? I would think toolarmy orders would go out first,since they were ordered first. Guess not. I saw a situation where a guy got his order screwed up and merch managed to find him an "extra copy" of this sold out album,and he already has it.
I got mine on 4/22. Full of fun stuff but I can't help but think there is some kind of secret hidden in the USB card. Doesn't make sense that the band would put forth so much effort simply for a money grab. Someone please figure out what the significance of the USB card is and get back to us!
perhaps the very fact you "can't help but think there is some kind of secret hidden in the USB card" ...is why it exists ... ... .. .. . .. ......wwwhoa...

look, the lenticular design/medium needed a base and this was much cheaper than going with straight plastic. your proper reaction: "hey, this plastic thing has 4gigs of storage space on it - kick ass!"

If there's a secret on the USB, it's definitely not stored on the memory of the card.
I'm guessing the lucky golden tickets will be access to downloadable content (or on 5 usb drives) which will go live so quickly that everyone will be able to store 4gb's worth of new shit on their special usb cards.
Still havent recieved mine and sent for it a month ago... Has anybody tried looking at the USB with "view hidden folders" option turned on? If there is anything on those, i think tool would mess with us to make most people think that they got a blank novelty usb. Like the whole 10k days 'puzzle' that was posted in one of the pictures (the tree of life, that only took a nueroscientist to figure out). Then again maybe tool is messing w/ us by giving us a blank usb. OR maybe just one usb actually has anything on it. All speculation...

I like that theory. Waiting for the CD package is nothing compared to waiting on another neuroscientist to figure out what the f* is the deal with the USB
Anyone got the Seal of Xatanitos yet? What does it look like?
