Magic Bands came in

She said they had not shipped them as of yet as there was a "hold" on them but she was not told the reason for the hold or contacted. In any case, I guess they are now going to be shipped and she was told that they would arrive May 1st. I thought this was all rather odd.

Something doesn't seem right here, has she paid what is due if on a package? The bands are normally shipped 29 days prior and usually via FedEX, UPS or another quick service. She calls and they still are not shipping until the end of the month, I would call back and find out what the problem is.

Since I am not going this trip, I can't call. She did speak with someone Fri night and she is studying for finals, so I doubt she'll want to do it again so soon. Yes, she has a room only basic package, so she had to prepay the 45 days prior, which she did. But maybe it is like what Cinderelley said and they had some of the band colors on back order. All she said to me was that she was told their bands had a "hold" on shipping them out for some reason. I also found it strange that they were not going to get them to her faster, like in the next day or two...but she said May 1st was when she was told they would arrive.

She's 20 and this is her first trip without me. She has planned it with her friends, booked it and paid for it all on her own, so I am gonna let her take care of her own trip. She is the one who asked me if she should call since it was 3 weeks out (I had forgotten with all of the other stuff for DCP and my trips I have to plan to WDW). We shall see! :mickey:
