Ok so I talked to them again today and here's the scoop.
They have been waiting on a missing item for the VIP swag packages (I asked and it was the guitar picks). They come from China and have not been ready until now. They are to be on the docks by this weekend (10/13) and the packages should start shipping next week. They are using a shipping method in which UPS delivers to your local post office, then the post office delivers to your house. I dunno how much more complicated they could have made it but, if we can believe them, at least there is hope in getting the stuff soon!
Be sure to post if you get yours so we can all get a little more excited about getting ours!
