No product, no info at all.

FYI to all Corsair winners. The rep for Corsair was on vacation and out last week. I have spoken with him today and he will be following up on the prizes and getting them shipped this week. Sorry about the delay.

Let us know when it gets there. It should be very soon if not today.

For what it's worth, I'm in Ontario and just got a notice from UPS today for a parcel that I have to pay $41 brokerage fee... hope this isn't the mouse but I haven't ordered anything else from... anywhere. So I'll have to see, tracking # is invalid too which makes things extra interesting.

 

@damric pretty sure this is the mouse actually, now reading your comment/post.

Ok you are second confirmed person getting this fee. This is not right so I'm letting EVGA know to see if there is anything they can do.

I have a backup plan as well, just in case EVGA can't do anything since they already shipped.

@damric

[Cerberus]

[damric]

[Andrew]

Not got mine yet or anything in the mail saying I need to pay for import duties. I am also the furthest away AFAIK so that might also be it.

I'm curious about these mouse cases that they included.

 

Do they normally ship with these or were they extra goodies that EVGA threw in?

 

Do tell us about it. Are they nice?

[Avacado]

Is there anyone who won prizes that has not received one? Please let me know here or by PM.

Yeah, I didn't receive my Z20 (or any parcel pre-notification via email)* yet.

Then again, AFAIK the keyboard I'm supposed to get has another layout and is shipped from EVGA's Taiwan warehouse, so I'm not really worried that it's taking a bit longer.

 

*What I did get, though, is a SMS from a French number telling me that there's some parcel for me awaiting customs clearance in Germany with the added threat of returning to sender if the fee isn't paid. No tracking number or anything along those lines, just a link to enter personal details.

Considering I'm neither French nor should the parcel have any business being in France, I took that SMS as a coincidentally timed phishing scam, so I blocked and reported the number.

Ok. I know that some of the EVGA products are being hand brought from California to EU, so they may be in the works. 2/5 of the Corsair prizes have been shipped, but the rest will be sent this week. All of BQ prizes have been delivered as of today. Sorry to everyone about the delays!

Nah, don't be. Thank you for all your hard work and effort in organizing events like this, even going so far as to triple- and quadruple check to make sure that everyone get's their prizes instead of just informing the sponsors about the winners and calling it a day.

You guys really go above and beyond, and that's greatly appreciated! So, again: Nothing to be sorry about, not at all.

Careful. There might be a legitimate duty fee. If there is, then pay it and send me an image of the receipt and a picture of your kb and I'll get you reimbursed.
