Mine arrived at the local delivery depot for a second time this morning. Mine showed that as well. It also just got delivered! The box took a bit of a beating, but the contents seem to be fine. Making sure everything is here now. Quick question, what are you using to make sure everything is there? I ordered the platinum version and I'm paranoid that something is missing haha. Thanks and sorry if this is a dumb question!

For those in the US who have received via Fed Ex, what was the projected delivery date (from Fed Ex) before you got it? Mine still says Monday.

They posted photo-inventories in one of the recent kickstarter updates.

Out of curiosity, what carrier delivered it? If it actually shows up for me today, I'm going to need to keep an eye out, as it's pouring rain here in LA and I definitely don't want the box to be soaked through. Mine came FedEx. The plastic wrap should help protect it from the elements, though mine got torn in transit. FedEx 2 Day service.

Mine just showed up about 30 minutes ago. A lot of stuff!
But, Jeez, it's so poorly packed. The cardboard box is way too soft and my box is bashed to hell. There's crumpled corner damage on all the large items at the bottom of the box. Argh!

Here is the Platinum Checklist. (My box also contains a T-shirt not shown here, which I assume is one of the add-ons.)

Los Angeles here and still waiting for my package. At the moment I got the "Your parcel has arrived at the local delivery depot" for the second day now. I'm antsy!

Mine was delivered this afternoon (2/14) in NE Kansas. Had a look thru, but the visual component list is too hard on my old eyes. I sent George an email asking if they could give me a simple plain text list of items. But wow!!. I know some people will be picky about this or that ( thegenii - absolutely not a reference to your box damage. I’d be upset as well.) but I am easy to please and so far very happy with everything. Can’t wait to everyone’s puzzle discoveries!

Checking in with delivery in PA from FedEx! For anyone waiting and looking for updates... Went from "arrived at the local delivery depot" (twice) to "on the vehicle for delivery" to being delivered!

Received and updating with my hot take...
Packaging could definitely used a quite a bit of work. Double walled cardboard box should have been used, as well as a big poster tube with all the larger paper items inside. I had some slight damage on several of the posters, and dog ears on almost everything else.
That being said, I've read through the diary and sorted through all the items. There is a lot of content here, and the story looks like it's going to be very engaging. There also appears to be some really unique ways to get to the final solutions. I can't wait to start down this rabbit hole.

Particularly when they spent over 4 months saying they were doing packing. It took them 4 months to chuck things haphazardly into ill-filling boxes?

Curiously, my complaint is the opposite. Everything is too new and pristine. I actually want a moldy box that looks like it spent 50 years in someone's attic.
