My copy of Infinite arrived this morning at about 10:55AM. Looks like I was very lucky. I am impressed with the short time it has taken and was wondering if I am a 1 off case, or if anyone else has received their copy yet. I am in the UK and it was shipped from France.

Hi Gareth, Linda i think has beaten you. She told me she got her copy this morning 9am. In Paris, so the travel was not too long of course. Enjoy it, i am sure you will have a lot of fun!
One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

Thanks My friend. I will be going to AF to pick your brains about the ECO-System at some point. Hope that is ok:)

Is there a brain? Thanks for the compliment Sir.

Iloco - I ordered early, and my order is still being prepared - you're not alone.

About shipping... I was also a pre-order placer (?!) on January 31, right after the opportunity was offered. I am still showing "order prepared to ship" again today. It appears those of us who are in N.America are following the Eurpoean releases. (I'm in Canada.) For what it's worth...

I am in the US and pre-order V5I in early Feb. I have yet to see status to see if been ship. I been reading all the information on it and I think I will no go back to earlier versions.. I really wish it was here. Even took off 2 days of work in early april to play with it.
iloco posted Tue, 15 March 2005 at 4:37 PM
Well 2 days and still no shipped on my order. Guess preorder doesn't mean much for early shipping. :o(

checks UPS from E-on's site, such a cooooool feature.... YES it's moving, still in France but on way... puts on music from the film Das Boot, and urges the UPS folk to wing it! ;)

Same here... Richmond, Virginia... still being prepped - pre-ordered 2/01 yup, :(

Attached Link: Ecosystem Tutorial
Sane as megalodon... also pre-order on 2/01..Don't e-on have an Office in the US, wouldn't it be faster if they bulk ship them to US and then spread them out from there. It maybe cheaper..
I am curious if the ones that order it, got the full package or upgrades. I upgraded from Vue 4 Pro and also have the Side Grade for Vue 5 Esprit.
I can't wait to try it out - especially after seeing Scott's tutorial ecosystems. Not complete but it likes it going to be excelient Tutorial. I believe this tutorial alone could get new users to V5I.

A few more days won't particularly bother me.
They've gotten a lot of pre-orders from a lot of people.
It's coming. I can wait a little while.
Just so long as it arrives early tomorrow.

Just got email that my Vue Infinitie has been shipped. It is 5 am so if it shipped from Oregon it was 2 am their time. They must be working around the clock is all I can figure unless it is coming from France. It says it is in the hands of UPS so now just wait untill it arrives. :)

I'm in Atlanta and pre-ordered on 2/2. Shows mine is still waiting to ship. (but given the disparity in pricing discussions there have been, I'm not about to complain, I'm just adding info to the thread)

Looks like UK and Europe got our copy within a day or two (if using UPS). Thanks for the feedback everyone:) Hope your copies arrive soon so that the Vue gallery can be fulled with beautiful renders. Take care and thanks for responding to my question:)

Hey Belgareth! "Hope your copies arrive soon so that the Vue gallery can be fulled with beautiful renders." What you mean to say it isn't already??? LOL (Its a joke people, you can put those pitchforks and flaming torches down!)
dlk30341 posted Wed, 16 March 2005 at 5:31 PM
Darn you niandji....I was all prepared for a good burning...don't tease me like that ;).....j/k of course, just in case LOL

Just to let you know, I got an email when I check this morning that my Vue 5 Infinite. Now I just got to wait for snail mail. My order was place on Feb 1st and I live in NC USA.
Belgareth posted Thu, 17 March 2005 at 7:22 AM
Excellent. Hope you get it soon:)

Ordered 2/2 in Atlanta and just got ship notification, so they're up to "that" date now.
57thkafka posted Thu, 17 March 2005 at 11:53 AM
Does anyone have a reliable method that they have used to contact e-on regarding their order status? By which I mean one they have actually responded to? I have tried email and phone and they don't seem to be responding to either one unfortunately. I am in the UK.
niandji posted Thu, 17 March 2005 at 12:12 PM
Ordered 14th March - Monday; got the shipping notice today - so I wouldn't have a clue what criteria they are working to. I was expecting the shipping notice in the next couple of weeks or so. I'm in the UK.
niandji posted Thu, 17 March 2005 at 12:17 PM
57thkafka: Have you tried using the 'contact a sales representative' forum style option in the Support section? When I had a problem with my Vue5E upgrade a few months ago, that was they way I went, and got a helpful reply within 24 hours. Hope this helps.
Belgareth posted Thu, 17 March 2005 at 12:45 PM
That is very quick niandji. Very quick indeed.

It is well worth it megalodon. Hope you get it soon:)

I know, Belgareth; probably take 3 weeks to get here now, LOL!
Belgareth posted Thu, 17 March 2005 at 12:57 PM
LOL. That wouldn't be nice, but Sod's law. I ordered express as I said in the beginning as, knowing my luck, it would have gotten lost in the post...lol
