If Magic Bands never show up...

[laeeyore]

Hi,
I was wondering how long to wait for Magic Bands to show up in the mail before calling Disney. We leave on June 9th and the bands were shipped on May 12th according to MDE. The P.O. tracking number shows that they have been sitting in Memphis since then with no movement. I know since they were sent via parcel post this can be a really lengthy process. If they don't arrive by June 5th(Friday before we leave) do you think Disney would be able to have set waiting at the hotel with the correct colors or would we just get the generic grey? Has anyone ever had a problem with the hotel activating a replacement set once they arrived? I wish there was some option for Priority Mail or UPS shipping even at an extra charge. I would have happily paid it for a prompt delivery!
Thanks for nay help

Mine did the same thing! We arrive June 7th. I got a ship notice on May 9th and they "sat" in Memphis until the 13th, then the tracking finally updated and I got them in the mail on the 15th. Give it a few more days.

What drove me nuts was we have two rooms booked and the other bands tracked just fine and showed up on the 13th!

We booked a last minute trip last March on 5 days notice and the bands were presented to us at the check in desk, activated then and all was well. I'd expect you'll get the bands any day now.

Thanks! I guess I'll keep watching.

Mine also seemed like they were just "sitting" somewhere until they magically showed up on my door. Apparently, the USPS only does arrival scans, not departure scans, on the parcel select items (which is how the MBs are shipped), so you really don't know when they leave one facility until they arrive in another. Parcel select is also 100% land/truck based shipping, so it's fairly slow.

I also arrive on June 9th and my bands were delivered just this past Friday. Hopefully you'll get yours in the next couple of days.

I hope so. I don't know how far you are from TN. We are across the country and if they have to come over land that could take awhile. I'm hoping that they actually are moving and I just cant tell from the tracking.
