Email from OEM Sales Center (Thursday, November 12)
"We are waiting to receive the list of Lynwood attendees who are to receive the kit via mail. We will follow up with you as soon as we receive the list and provide an expected shipment date.
Best regards,
OEM SalesCenter Support Team"
Lynnwood (north of Seattle) is only 16.7 miles to where OEM Sales is located in downtown Seattle. They had to drive past it on I-5 on their way to the Milipitas, CA whether they drove or flew (SEATAC airport is south of Seattle). They couldn't just drop the list off?
The pallet of boxes looked too small for the number of people in line (easily 90% of the attendees), so I got on the phone and conducted some business calls until the line was gone. The ladies thought they would mail me the kit "sometime next week". That was fine, considering there was no way I was standing in line. But OEM Sales is still waiting on the list, strange. At least they have not charged my credit card yet (or three times). I did mention that my "business associate" received the AMD 630 and asked if I should expect the same kit configuration (thank you JimLee2009). I'll report when I get more info or a kit.
