Just a quick note
We in HK experience the same problem too
And I do express the serious communication problem with the relevant staff (Jay usually reply really promptly, we should thk you)
But we need now is just sth like tracking code to see whether the goods is stuck at somewhere we can rescue locally
Although we DONOT expect the stuff can be arrived on time already

Thanks for your understanding, Jay

So after several urgent reminders I expressed in past days in mails and on IRC, that we did not receive anything yet and the tracking still says the transfer has been initiated but the goods not picked up yet, with basically no response, I realized by calling to the FedEx CZ office short time ago (they were very helpful with tracking down the package, they spent about an hour by checking all possibilities), that the sending company did not send the package to us yet with 99% probability (there is still one very complicated way how it could have been send & delivered, but they mentioned, the probability almost equals zero).
Now, this is obviously critical, as it seems we are going to have an event
- concert - without anything, which - to be honest - sucks (I apologize, if
this word is too dirty or inappropriate, but I don't know any synonym for that, so please pardon me for using of it.) and changes our plans quite a lot.
My idea: Can whoever responsible please find an express carrier that is able to deliver the package on time (because FedEx is not able to, since they have 2-3 days delivery time), please? We are +8 hours from San Francisco, so if there was a company with either 24hrs delivery guarantee and/or the company which delivers on Saturdays as well, it is still doable, if the manufacturer will send it immediately. I am willing to help to it by picking up the package in delivery central storagehouse (as long as it is in Prague or nearby) if delivering to the exact address would require an extra day or so. However the most important is to arrange the overseas transport, which must be done by whoever in USA / SFO.
Can we make it?
Thanks for help!

But someone in Beijing said he had received the ships.
