Scott, I've sent you a PM about my spare signed inlay. Hope you hear from them but if not I shall put it aside safe somewhere and you can let me know if you want me to send it to you.

That is really sweet of you, Gutless.

Also, out of curiosity: I haven't ordered from Townsend before, does anyone know how long it usually takes for their packages to make it to North America? Just wondering when I should keep an eye on the mailbox.

Tuckedaway, I'm waiting for mine. I'm in Western Canada so I expect it will be sometime next week. Amazon's is usually 5-8 business days, depending where they're sent from. One order came from somewhere in Germany so that took about 11 days.

I wonder if I've ended up with Scott's inlay! I was suprised that I had two in my envelope. Would be spooky if that was the case! No point me having two and someone else not having one.

I got the the last single bundle from Townsend on the Friday after it was released in the UK, and the album on the Friday or Saturday after the UK release. So, that means I'm expecting my newest single bundle this coming Friday or Saturday. I'm in Pittsburgh, PA, so you probably should get your package about the same time.

Cool, thanks Frozendiva & richeysite. Usually I wouldn't worry about it, but it seems I've already lost a package this week thanks to UPS, so I'm attempting to be cautious...

Mine came, not really a signed inlay - more a signed piece of printed photo paper.

I'm a big fan of Townsend. They sent me the signed deluxe copy of Journal and deluxe copy of Postcards a good few days in advance of release day. Those are the only times I've used them thus far.

The signed standard edition of Postcards from Play took a fair bit longer to arrive...is very cool indeed though, so was well worth it.

I'd imagine any of these issues are with international shipping companies. Having seen how Doug Heffernan works, I can't say I'm surprised...the King of Queens is a documentary, right?

Yes. But as i didn't know i was getting anything at all signed, I'm happy enough with it. I also now have two copies of the 7''. I thought i had only bought the two cds on Townsend, so i bought it and the It's Not War 7'' in Tower the other day. I'm such a scatterbrain

Give me a PM if you hit a brick wall with them and as said I'll send you my spare one.

I've not got my SKON bundle yet but I imagine it's just in back-logged post??? I've just logged onto Townsend and it says they sent it out 06/12/10. I'll not worry just yet...
