Where are you? The orders are shipped from the UK, so it can be from 2-3 weeks for the US, and up to 4 weeks for Australia

I bought DBPro, took only a couple weeks.

But I ordered it from Real Game Tools, thing is though, they said they would also send Charecter FX, but I never did get it, and it has been more than 9 months... (I tried to go to there site, but I think it was down...)

I got mine from the TGC web site and it took only 1 week. and I live on the west coast.

PS:I think for US orders they ship it to the US by air and then normal mail.

I have a question for you all...

I hope to order this soon, though if I don't order it sooner than I should there will be a gap between when my trial period ends and when the package arrives (assuming I order from the UK).

I tried ordering from Amazon.com, but they won't ship it to Canada. How come? Amazon.ca doesn't have it for sale, so I can't go through the Canadian Amazon.

I live on the west coast in oregon as well and I ordered DBPro from tgc.com, in a package with cartography shop. I recived the download for cartograpy shop as soon as the order was processed, which was a day or two later. it then took a few more days for them to actually ship darkbasicpro. The day after it shiped i decided to dowload the trial so i could tinker around before it got there, and it finally arrived with about 1 day to spare, about 4 weeks later. Though considering it had to come from england, some waiting time was to be expected.
