So today is Sunday, and the week is almost over. AU promised to send out ALL ORDERS 'this week' so i'm assuming any of the remaining sets are going today. That being the case - has anyone's UPS status changed?
Mine is still exactly the same - even though I got it on the 22nd.

I also got my tracking number on 22/11 and I still don't have my package! It was released by German customs TWICE and according to the UPS status, it was in-transit for days... until yesterday evening

But take a look at my my current order status:

18:49 US BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
Does anyone happen to know what will happen now? And what am I supposed to do now - contact AU and have them send another package (yeah, as if...) or do I have to wait for UPS to find the DVDs again? But I wouldn't be too surprised if AU didn't even bother to give them to UPS given the fact that no US city's mentioned anywhere...

Starrox, if that is your complete UPS document, the discs never shipped. All that happened was the shipping manifest was forwarded and cleared by customs. There should be US scans showing it being picked up and sent to Europe.

I got my tracking # on the 27th...Still sitting on Billing Info Received.
I'm getting freaked out from all those other posters saying that that message meant their packages were lost....

So what is the deal then?? I don't get this at all.
AU promised to ship them this week, and they've had plenty of time to sort it. I can't believe they would lie and deceive right to the very end...AGH!
Are we ever going to get the sets? Are there actually any sets left?
This is so depressing.

Starrox, did you call UPS? If you haven't already, call them and find out what is going on with your package. They might have some more info then just the basic stuff that is showing on your tracking screen.

If the set has shipped the very least you should see is an origin scan, indicating UPS has physical possession of the box. No origin scan indicates AU hasn't released the package, or it hasn't been scanned yet by UPS.

So I just made yet another international call.
Ross has finally managed to update his voicemail, and now says that "All remaining orders will be shipped out this week" Hmmm, where have we heard that before?
I knew this would happen. They are liars and have no integrity. I hate AU so much
Anyway, I left a message - the fouth so far - and explained that they have lied about their shipping. I also sent them a message reminding them to include the free t-shirt, certificate of authenticity and gift vouchers in the package alongside the lunchbox and bonus disc (which according to AU's website is due to ship "early december" - i.e now)
Needless to say, AU have not responded to any of my emails or telephone calls/messages. What a surprise.
Aaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, looks like finally something is happening! I wanted to look up the UPS number (I had planned to call them later today) and while on the UPS homepage I checked my order status again - and guess what, it seems AU really did send out at least part of the remaining orders yesterday!

If not all it certainly looks like they did send out a few packages last night, my UPS status changed from Billing Information Received which I got last week to In Transit and the tracking detail show exact same results as you:
3 Dec 2002 1:57 LOUISVILLE, KY, US ARRIVAL SCAN
2 Dec 2002 19:25 MATHER, CA, US DEPARTURE SCAN
18:13 MATHER, CA, US ORIGIN SCAN
27 Nov 2002 16:07 US BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
There's hope!

And for those of you who are still waiting, the only thing that seems to work is to email and call them to make them aware you are waiting impatiently.

When I check the status by my tracking number today, I also finally find out that the status is changed from "Billing information received" to "In Transit".

Hey,
Just wanted evetryone to know that my boxset arrived today!!
I am so relieved and happy that its sorted and almost over (except for the bonus materials...) So basically I think that AU have actually made some serious progress with the second wave and anybody still waiting should receive them soon....

so far the surveys seem to indicate that people are finally receiving their DVDs. the numbers for refunds, however, are appalling.

I have yet to hear one word about my shipment. I verified with Visa that there was indeed a charge for 129.00 that went through in July, but still nothing. I'm starting to seriously think that I'm never going to receive my DVDs...
