I'm sure everyone got this Numero notification, but just in case:
Dear Friend of Tom
We've got great news for you! After a slight delay at sea, the Best of the Best Show box set has made its way from China, cleared through the ports of Los Angeles and made its way onto a truck headed to our main distribution hub in Bloomington Indiana. From there, thousands of copies will be loaded onto another freight truck headed to the Numero Headquarters in Chicago. Using satellite spy technology and up to the minute tracking information, we have deduced that the box sets should be here at Numero by either Monday the 16th or Tuesday the 17th.
You may have received an email stating that your Best of the Best Show box set has shipped. As pre-order customer, we don't have to tell you how excited everyone is about this release. It's going to take our shipping department 2-3 days just to print out the postage for everything, and that doesn't even include the time it's going to take our small army of diligent helpers to actually put your box set into its well cushioned mailing carton. What all that means, is that you may not see exact tracking details until mid next week, but rest assured...your package will be headed your way as soon as we can possibly get it to you. We've got USPS workers on stand by to get your package into their system as soon as the packing tape dries.
Many of you who pre-ordered your set before Christmas, may have already received your portion of Jon Wurster’s smashed telephone that he used to make the Rock, Rot & Rule phone call, along with a tiny letter of authenticity. For everyone else, rest easy knowing that your phone piece will be included with your package. If you're receiving this email, you made the cut off!
