So USPS showing a "Shipping Label Created" on March 25 at 3:30 p.m. thing doesn't mean I should be looking for it by 3:30 today via 2 day Priority Mail delivery, right?
My shipping label was created on March 12th and it still hasn't shipped, so I wouldn't stand by the mailbox just yet.

Yep, I've been sitting at "shipping label created" since March 11...

Someone should write a song about how waiting is hard.

Wow.  It's been years since I've had to track something through USPS.  Is that how it is now?  I seem to recall not waiting three weeks after seeing that status appear.  I'm not complaining, just trying to get my head around what things actually mean on that site.

Thanks!  After hearing all of this, I am puttting April 14 in my head as my tentative date and getting back to my stupid life.

Mine is in "Forest Park, Illinois," which I believe is some sort of fontasy town. Who would put a park in a forest with all those bears?

Mine arrived today. Needless to say, I'm impressed. I think you guys will be too.

I like how mine went to Forest Park, Illinois, only to go back to Chicago to be shipped through O'Hare. The ways of the mail system... but those heroes of the brown satchel did get it to O'Hare, so, oh boy, it's really happening!

I like that Forest Park - kind've - sounds like where the Ramones are from. 
My box is there as of this morning.

Same here. I still can't believe how massive it is. It's almost daunting to imagine how much material is right here.

I love this box set so much. The thought and craft and care that went into this thing is evident from the Consolidated Cardboard tape on the box. The book is beautiful. I love the Joe Matt artwork of Tom (can he do an American Splendor type comic with Tom? Please?). So many fun details in the call write ups and interview (I'm with Jon, btw. If someone asked me if Rhoda Zeigler ever called, I would have emphatically said no too!).

Tom, Jon, and Numero Group, thank you for putting together this amazing box and for the years of comedy you've blessed us with!

Got mine yesterday! It really is an impressive set. Even for Numero Group--who's stuff is always beautiful--this is really special. And I love the Radio Hut cassette/USB drive.

My expected delivery date was April 2nd but it came in today!

I've barely skimmed the surface of the content here and I'm almost overwhelmed with how incredible this thing is. This is the densest box set I have ever seen. It's just cool stuff piled on top of cool stuff wrapped up in a beautiful package. A fitting tribute to the Best Show!

Are there no air dates in the box? Not criticizing!
