I forgot what time I ordered mine but it was during the last wave of orders and I got a shipped email this morning. I got in when the stock checker was showing less than 400 pairs.
Yup I don't trust FedEx anymore. I got a pair of 10.5 but had to have it held at a store since it was scheduled to deliver on a Saturday at a business location. When i picked up the package the tamper evident tape was cut and taped over with some clear packing tape. I opened that thing in store...
My experience with round two is that it all depends on who's behind the counter doing the buying. One dude will say they're not taking the item because it's not selling, and the next day another dude will buy it no problem. You tried going to RIF to sell the creams? I think they're always buying...
That's normal since they don't do scans during the ground transport, mine shipped May 2 and it should be here some time today. So I'm guessing yours will probably be delivered on Monday.
Probably just common sense with box shape and weight. Plus past experiences of some customers telling them whats in the package, I talk to my mail person sometimes about what I ordered. Although I think it's weird but excitement gets the best of me sometimes...
