any idea why the 2 day wait
I am going to be upset if people ordering from CC or BB get their box before those of us who ordered from tivo. Why the wait? why not get it to us first? you are making more off of us so why not get the boxes out today? I understand if you have so many orders that you cant send them all out but it doesnt look like you are sending any out!!! What is the deal?

I agree. I ordered from tivo.com to be first. Figured rather give TiVo the profit and at the same time be first. Not looking so good at the moment ...

Well when it ships we will be notified via e-mail. So if you get the e-mail your's shipped perhaps post it so we get a sense of the turn-around time at Tivo for the online orders and make sure to post the day and time it was ordered.
Of course I still have not received the e-mail from Tivo informing me the Tivo Series 3 is available as they said they would do on their website when I had signed up to be notified. So I half expect to get the e-mail the Tivo shipped a week after the box arrives at my doorstep.

Don't laugh - I ordered a box from Tivo.com in July and got the shipping confirmation email about a week after I got the box.

I ordered this morning at 9:30am EST and still haven't received a shipping notice.
I also have one on order at Best buy but don't expect it till Sunday.
I hope the Tivo.com one gets here first.

My guess is they're using a 3rd party shipper in Texas, so they'll collect orders today (Tuesday), send the orders to TX on Wednesday, and the boxes will go out on Thursday.
Maybe we'll get lucky and the boxes will ship Wednesday instead. I hope they put the overnight and 2nd day orders at the front of the list to be shipped

I think I read somewhere they ship from TX. I'm in TX and I got 2day. Do you think that I would get it overnight since it's in the same state even though it's 2day?

Depends on the shipper. I get 2 day air deliveries overnight all the time from UPS, but never from Fedex.
YMMV.

The S2 I ordered for my Mom in March was shipped from a warehouse in Plano, TX; about 3 miles from my house. Think I could just order one for "Will Call" pickup tomorrow?

yup mine is opposite since i live near memphis. fedex comes ealry and ups only on day stated. i can get ground shipments in one day sometimes when 2 day would cost $30-40 more and be a day behind.

I searched the Collin County tax records and couldn't find anything listed under "Tivo" or "High Definition Entertainment".

Virtually no warehouse or distributor will let people come pick things up in person. I'd be extremely surprised if they allow that.

Same thing happened when the S2DT was released. People who orderd directly from TiVo on Tuesday didn't get theirs until Friday, but people who orderd from CC on Wednesday got theirs on Thursday.

FedEx can be a B**CH about these things. I've ordered a number of things from Dell (Austin is less than 4 hours from where I live south of Houston), and even though they'll arrive in the local FedEx depot in less than a day, FedEx will NOT deliver them early or let me pick them up - even when the tracking info shows the item is there. They will wait until the paid for shipping period is up.

I wish I had seen this thread yesterday. I bought my Tivo at about 9:30am Tuesday, if I had realized there would be this much of a delay I would have ordered from CC for sure!

Just called TiVo again and got someone clueless about this... They said they weren't shipping til October then put me on hold then said today... Basically changed what she was saying 3 times. And yesterday I had gotten notice that UPS would deliver Saturday and now the lady said Monday... Is there any way to cancel an order on tivo.com so I can order from Circuit City? Have cable guy coming Sunday...

Just called again and have gotten my third answer in two days... Apparentally two won't arrive til Monday now. No way to cancel the order, and now I'm going to have to reschedule CableVision to come by which will probably take quite a while.

Don't cancle your CableVision appointment just yet. If you paid for overnight shipping, or you live within an overnight zone from the shipping site, you should have it by Friday.

I had paid for two day since I was under the impression the boxes would have shipped yesterday or today. And from what I can tell UPS doesn't deliver Saturday unless its requested. I'll have to harass TiVo to get a shipping number tomorrow so I can see what I nee to do

It's still possible they could ship today, so I'd definitely hold off until you know for sure.
