As anybody gotten a shipping notification? Is Eovia even doing that? Just wondering so I can make plans to be home when it arrives. I had it shipped 2nd day, and Eovia press release said they had shipped, but I haven't received any notification yet. Just curious whether they are behind or not.

Just talk with Element 5, the people doing the order fulfilment for Eovia. They say that they havn't received shipment from Eovia yet and as such there are no boxes to ship. They also said that they will be sending UPS tracking info to the email address given them during the order process. How's THAT for a bunch of marketing whoey? Eovia says that they are shipping, but they only fulfill the orders through a company that hasn't received any copies yet. :( You'd think that they would have advanced the shipment to Element 5 so that THEY would be shipping on the target date. Oh well.... (taping foot on floor...) I'm sure it's on it's way... (frowns out window as UPS truck drives by...)

Thanks for the info blue... I was hoping someone would start this thread so I wouldn't look like the only one wondering about shipping! :-)

They mass-ship based on how many units sold already. There's not a whole lot of Eovia customers to begin with. And if they've out-sourced their shipping department to E5 (which charges by the bulk), we'll just have to wait a bit.

I am quite sure hundreds of Dutch people preordered C4. Mmmm. No. That is not true. I hope there are more customers from over here... Patience....

I can't wait to see how many people will be wearing the same T-shirt as me. ;-)

I just read this in the Eovia site: Due to huge demand, boxed versions will be delivered by the end of the week. French Versions still expected by mid-November. Thanks for your patience

Eh. That looks EXACTLY like the box I am waiting for. Are you sure that isn't MY box? ;-) I guess you are privileged, because of making the illustration and all...

In fact is YOUR box:-) sorry, you must wait because probably you will receive mine:-P -TOXE

Nice "modeling" Davide! ;-P Chuck

Aahaha! Urgh! You have uncovered all. That shame! Now all the carrara community knows that i'm a thief:-( Hey Chuck! Thanks:-) -TOXE

TOXE, you devil! Have a ton of fun while we wait! -Kix

Toxe, can you point me to your website or images that you have created? Thanks Ringo

He's holding one Ringo!

Thank you Toxe. Hi, gang. This afternoon I got my C4P box.....I won't spoil it for you guys by giving you details about it. But I will say this...Hats off to Eovias development team for the great job they have done. Davide Toshches, I love the cover illustration looks much better than on the website. Carl desmond, great cover design. Oh and I think I need a dolly to carry this 600 page manual. :-) I love it. Later guys. Ringo P.S. Davide is wearing the Tshirt just to let you know. LOL

What you see is just the front. On the back it reads: "I preordered one hour after the mail from Eovia and all I got was this one-color printed shirt" Just joking of course! * resumes position on the front porch *

I just receive my "Delivery information" email from Eovia, with tracking # and everything. My package is in the UPS system and is on time with a scheduled delivery date of Oct 29, 2004.

****************** I"LL NOT GONNA SLEAP TONIGHT!!!!!! ***************

Got mine this morning also. Mine was to arrive today, but, alas, I am not able to be home to get it. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up from my condo office soon. I wish I had had advance notice!

I got home found the C4P package on the kitchen table, sparked up the computer and found a new email telling me the package was shipped! I've played with it fo for a couple of minutes and I'm in love! Unfortunately I can't get Amapi to load up on my computer (Win XP Home). I've sent a note to Eovia support and I hope they can help, but I'm almost as happy since the Carrara is working. Mike

I'm still waiting to hear anything... :o(

trav: That seems a little strange. I am running it just fine on my computer with Win XP Home. Maybe there is a problem with the installer from the Carrara Pro package? Mine is the retail version.

Try running the setup.exe program from the Amapi folder.

Got my shipping notice! Gotta wait for monday though to receive it... :( It's gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG weekend! I've seen that error before when I installed a couple programs in a row once. I rebooted the system and everything was fine after that. I don't remember what program it was when I got it, but it was on XP home.

yeah... I just got my notice... I gotta wait another week... ordered 9/16, card charged 9/17... expected delivery 11/4... gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG week reading about how much fun everyone's having.... Not that I blame Eovia... I think that Element5 leaves a lot to be desired... All of this just confirms what I've thought for years... that Lubbock, Texas must be one of the most remote and God-forsaken places on the planet... and I must be the only one here getting CP4... I might as well be waiting on the French Version...

Eovia answered the question. Turns out it was a problem in Windoze... a missing file. took about 10 minutes to fix and get Amapi installed. Excellent responce from Carrara Product Support. Mike

I used to get my Eovia software from the Eovia office 12 miles from me in San Diego. Now I'm getting it from an E5 outlet on the east coast somewhere.

Still awaiting Pro to make its way across the channel to blighty. Currently green with (furry) envy that some in other parts of the world have received their shipment. Anyone in the UK got 4 Pro yet?

We finally got our shipping confirmation. Bet everyone else has their packages already, even when they've ordered after us. Think it'll take another week to get here and I can't even track it. The waiting. The agony. -HK
