I ordered some other stuff from DE on the 18th. Still haven't received
it. I did email back forth with Mikkel a couple of times about the
"pending" status (which hasn't changed for me either). It seems to be a
glitch in the ordering system, where the status doesn't change. He
mentioned that they may take a look at it in the future to better allow
customers to follow their orders.

He also pointed out (as mentioned on the home page of DE), that
customers should add 1 week to shipping times due to start up for them,
plus the holiday rush. I am expecting my stuff next week, based on the
emails I got from Mikkel.

Ah, thanks for clearing that pending thing up. It was starting to bug me :)
From that I gather that my stuff will be on the way on the week of the 8th
assumingh Customs doesn't fool around with it too much

I also ordered it.  Has anyone actually received their order?  Hopefully, we
are not being taken for a ride.

I just ordered a set of simheels and GTR a few days ago.
Please post when you get your stuff, and I'll post as well - they've
already charged my card, so I'd hope it'll get to me soon.

Before collapsing in a drunken stupor "Tiny Lund"

I ordered a copy of GTR on the 24th. Received the confirmation email
immediately, but havn't heard any news on whether or not it's
shipped.

I ordered GTR from the Emporium but didn't get a confirmation
 email? Anyone
 else order it and get it yet?

I spoke with Randall Johnson & as mentioned in another post, he informed me
of the 1-2 week ship delay stated on their main page. I also paid with Pay
Pal which is a different situation from those that used a credit card. He
said GTR should arrive from Sweden Tuesday 01/04 and ship shortly
thereafter.

"I also paid with Pay Pal which is a different situation from those
that used a credit card."

Could you explain the differences? I paid with a CC this time, but I
also use Paypal regularly and saw that they also accept it.

Thanks.

The difference is that i did not receive a confirmation of order email from
the emporium. Randall said they were still working out the Pay Pal setup.

I'm surprised to see this. I ordered using Paypal and recieved a
confirmation email within an hour. Does your ISP use very aggressive spam
filters and thus posibly blocked the confirmation email?

That's scary to know. I did get of course get pay pal confirmation of the
transaction, but not email from Emporium. I did use a yahoo mail addy that
might have flushed it in the spam toilet.

Yes.  I see they wasted no time charging my card the same day I ordered, but
seem to have no product to ship.  That's a pretty poor business practice
IMO.

I'm willing to bet, when they get enough orders, they then order in bulk
and when they receive their order, they send it out to you. It's not
like when you order a copy, they then call Switzerland and send over a
single copy just for you.
