Has anyone recieved thier X-Files Season 4 from Total Action Universe?
They shipped mine on Nov. 9th. I haven't gotten it yet and I was wondering if anyone has yet. This was my first time ordering from them, so I don't know how long it usually takes to get stuff from them.

If it shipped on September 9th, two things are true.
1) They broke street date in a BIG way!
2) It's lost forever in the mail! 2 months is a LOOOONG time to wait!
If you meant to say November 9, no, it's not been a long time to wait yet.

How do they usually ship? I'm out of town for the next week and I placed my first order with them for the X-Files set. I also live in an apartment and I'm worried about them not putting it in one of the large mail lockers with a key in my mailbox. If it is sent and a note is put on my door and it stays there for a couple of days I wouldn't put it past my evil neighbors to go and pick it up for themselves!
Ahhh, what's a paranoid manboy to do?

They have real good deals on box sets. I've ordered from them before. But beware, it can take up to a month to receive your order. So in your case i wouldn't expect it untill the first week of December.

Anyone know there policy on replacing stuff lost in the mail?

I still don't have mine either. Shipped Nov. 9. I don't think it's lost. USPS has been pretty screwed up lately. The last thing I had send USPS took almost a week longer to get here than it should have taken.

My shipping notice came on the 11th and I have yet to see anything.
I know it's taking longer cause of everything going on. I guess I'll give it a few more days till I bring to their attention.

Mine shipped on the 9th and I still haven't got it. I just tried calling but I got no answer. If I can't get a hold of them and if it doesn't show up by next Monday the 2nd of Dec. I'm going to dispute the charge with my CC company.

I recieved notice at 3AM on the 10th that it shipped.
I'll assume, therefore, that it shipped the 9th.
I contacted TAU and told them that if I hadn't recieved the item by Friday, that I was going to "report the fraudulent charge" to my credit card provider.
Probably won't do much good.

Mine shipped on the 11th (probably the 12th, the 11th was a Sunday) and I haven't received it yet.
I would think that if HoNuts received his in Seattle, it should only take a day or two more to get to me in Oregon. I wonder what gives?
I guess I'll give it until the end of the week, and then contact them. Too bad...it's my first order with them.

I contacted them yesterday and they told me that there was at least 20 other people that had called that day regardeing X-Files Season 4. There are a lot of mad people out there right now. They keep telling me to wait a little longer for my order. They said that the the holidays have slowed up the packages.

To the people that have received their shipment (which I haven't), can you tell me if the box set was "slanted" like so many others I've seen in various stores around town? Or did the set come in a nice 'square' shape?

19 days and counting for me and still nothing here in Paradise. But I expected this to take about 30 days any way. Thats how long it usually takes for things to get to me from Canada.

I haven't received mine yet either. I casually mentioned this to the post office guy while I was buying stamps.
He said that since the Anthrax scare everything coming across any border is being held up and shipping times have been lengthened by a couple of weeks in some cases.
Total Action Universe is a Canadian company and they ship from Canada, so the X-files sets are probably being held up on the border just like all other mail coming from out of the country.
I'll give them a couple more days before I call to complain.

I got mine few days ago. I had mine a bit slanted too. I had called them up though when I hadn't heard any shipment notices for a few days, etc. and the guy made a point to note when they would ship it. I went through their regular line as I had problems with their 800 phone number, so perhaps that helped get me more attention.
