I did overnight last night, saying it had been shipped Thursday morning. Hopefully yours comes over night tonight with ones from the Friday batch
 
If TI says that they are all sent out now I wonder if Can post is the issue as why you guys haven't heard anything yet?
I've made a purchase from TI after getting my two type 81s (a brs 99) and I have tracking saying that it's been shipped out. Makes me wonder if Canada Post here in Alberta is dropping the ball with the type 81s
 
I got a tracking number this week for my Type 81. I also spoke with TI personally and they told me that Canada Post will only ship a certain amount of these rifles per week. Which is why shipping took so long.
 
I got my tracking number last week... a folder ordered in February of of 2017... should be here on Thursday. As for TI saying Canada Post is the issue... i dont believe that! A thousand rifles.. spread out over a month is nothing to CP. Right now they a delivering over a million parcels a day... a extra 20 rifles mean nothing!!

Ya... i think TI saying CP will only take so many per day is just "another excuse " in their long line of BS they have giving us. CP as of a couple of weeks ago has had Christmas help in working! At best i think TI might be putting out 20 rifles a day? I will say.. cause of the amount of parcels in the system that it could be later then the delivery date. But none of this would stop anyone from getting a tracking number.

The reality is TI is assigning the tracking number a couple weeks in advance, but are slow to get the tagged parcels into the postal system.

I hypothesize this is because they are not paying to have CPC pick them up in the necessary volumes. Likely either to save money or they are shipping from a remote location where they can't get the right service levels.

There is no good reason why they can't just mail everyone a tracking number, they can generate them themselves with a free CPC business shipping app.

Although if they did that, it would expose how slow they are to put a rifle on a truck after its boxed and tagged. But at least we would have some visibility that we are assigned a real rifle and that it will definitely ship.

Yap... the shipping and such with CP could have all been set up if need be.. long ago... truth is... for the amount of rifles they are shipping per day... they could load into a Honda civic, and take them to a postal outlet.

Mine was assigned a tracking number and picked up by CP same day (according to CP online tracking), but yea no doubt some odd things have been happening.
