I took some advice from a fellow collector and never looked back. With UPS, I made a "My Choice" account and have all of my shipments left at my local UPS store, so I can sign for the package and pick it up at my leisure and not worry about it being stolen. Did the same with FedEx too. I live in an apartment currently, so I was always missing deliveries due to my work hours, as well as being worried about my packages being stolen. Not anymore! I advise others to do the same.

The only gotcha on this would be that statues of this size require big boxes and you better have space in your vehicle for pickup and transport. And they can be heavy and awkward so pump that iron. So many times I walk up to a Best Buy to see a Honda Civic parked in front trying to squeeze a 65"+ TV in the back. Good luck!

Mine says the same thing. But when I called to changed shopping carrier, they told me it's already shipped and loaded onto the truck. I'm assuming not the UPS truck itself, but the UPS trailer where they will all be scanned at one time in pick up tonight.

Normally I have my SS orders delivered to my work but for this one I didn’t. If it comes on Monday my wife will be home. Tuesday I’ll take the afternoon off.

I'm in the same boat but don't be surprised it already shipped. Just SS and shipper not giving info. I have had this happen many times and on Saturday morning get an email from both SS and FedEX statue has been shipped to me and expect it Tuesday but I always get it Monday.
