Personally I find it a bit frustrating that it is taking longer for my ONA Live to ship to Los Angeles, than it is to ship to some UK members. Anybody else having this same problem? This is no disrespect to the UK members, but I just don't understand why their packages travel farther and get there sooner.

Amen! I live in LA too, and I just heard some guy in Amsterdam or something, got the cds...huh?!-What?!-How?!...Nothing against our European counterparts, I'm just not understanding the basic geography of the shipping...I mean, it should have been here by now, and Gage ain't answering my emails. From what I've read on other posts, they're having shipping problems (Geez!-I'm shocked...), but after Crystal ball, Rave, One Nite Alone, and Days of Wild (which was another disaster) -- you'd figure they'd know how to best ship things out to the members by now.

For the record, Gage has turned what should be a great release into a complete and utter f--k up...again.

Yes, it's frustrating, but in NPGMC's defense, I don't think they can make everyone happy with mailouts this size. If they go alphabetically, people whose last names begin with Z feel cheated, if they go geographically, then people in different regions feel cheated, etc.

The only thing they could do better is to start the mailouts much sooner, so there aren't members of the club wondering if their CD will arrive before it hits stores. (I'm still waiting, too, BTW!)

It's not all gage.com's fault. (I guess)
I don't know who was handling the stuff during the CB days but someone is managing this operation, isn't it?
So if people learned from previous efforts (CB, etc), why wasn't this knowledge used, passed on to the current handler (gage.com)?

Just email npgmc@npgonlineltd.com about this issue.
Not just npg@gage.com, the people that answer that address are just pawns in this process. Try to get to the people that bear responsibily. (anybody with ideas besides the contact adresses on the site and 7801 audubon rd? OrgNote me)

Oh well..
