Seems I am among the lucky folks here. After posting in another thread over on the general forum, I found this long litany of pain. That eased my concern a little. Now, performing my evening ritual of checking the tracking state, my parcel finally made it to the destination country, and is now awaiting customs processing. To recapitulate:
Sep 9th: announcement of the shipping announcement Sep 12th: tracking information (usually means it ships the next day) Sep 18th: it actually ships Sep 19th: passes through export Sep 26th: arrives in Switzerland
If progression continues at that rate, I should have it in 3 weeks. Seriously, everything looked good until the 12th. I've honestly never had to wait that long between getting tracking information and the goods actually shipping, nor for the transfer from Germany to Switzerland. I know it's nothing that Larian can influence, other than being diligent in choosing their fulfilment partner and not totally cheap with the actual shipping option, but that is certainly leaving a sour taste to the whole thing.
Just to compare: last week I got a shipment from Poland, via DHL. Announced and shipped on 21st, arrived at my door on 22nd. So it's not as if fast isn't possible!
