My tickets (Gray Line / Gator) arrived yesterday, though we weren't home to sign for the package so I had to go to the Post Office to pick them up this afternoon.
Anyway, point being... Causeway tickets in hand!

My tickets have only made it to California so far and still have to get to Australia by my Friday.
I guess I'm scrubbed if they don't arrive in time. I should have had them delivered to LA.
Stamps.com have updated the ticket delivery status and they have cleared customs. I presume that is arrival customs in Oz. Fingers crossed.

Re/ my Gator Causeway package.
Mailing Date: 6/24/2011
Est. Delivery: N/A

I just checked the status on Stamps.com with the tracking number.
This is what shows:
Confirm Shipment Status
Shipment Information

Shipped via:
USPS NoneNot sure what the USPS None means. It does not sound good.
I will have to phone them today and see.
I had received my tix in 3 days for STS-134 Endeavour's launch - same company.

I just googled "USPS None" to find:
"It means they are being shipped by United States Postal Services,
None means there are no restrictions on this item.
USPS are pretty good at delivering things, so yes it will arrive safely."
(This was an answer someone had posted on yahoo.com, but don't see why they would have written it if not true).
Probably safe to phone them but hopefully nothing bad has happened - maybe they will arrive today regardless! My tracking only went to Miami on Sat 25th - then they arrived this morning. Tracking is often recorded behind schedule.

Thank you Solaria.
I am not going to panic - not my style. Will phone them later today (+ time difference) and see about it.

Madame Concorde, you could try to track it in your postal service. I can track mine in the german postal service in the meanwhile and it seems to be fine.

Thank you for the tip.
Just tried it. Did not help. I got the following message:
We have no information associated with this tracking number.

I suspect (hope) many will arrive today. I have Gator/GL tix and last night USPS tracking said they were in the Atlanta area (I live outside of Atlanta). I thought about going to the PO they were at and trying to preempt them
. Today works good though because I'm home today and can sign for them. Yay!

Just an FYI...
For those of your waiting for your tickets from Gator, my colleague here at the office just got an update from them by phone. Apparently not all of the tickets have been shipped out yet, even though the postage was already generated on Stamps.com. In other words, they generated all of the postage at once, and are shipping out tickets gradually (the rep says that this is due to "receiving tickets a few at a time from NASA", but I am not sure this is more than an excuse). My colleague was getting worried because he hadn't received his tickets yet (despite many on here saying that they had), and it turned out his concern was warranted
Being that the launch is only 9 days away and we have the long holiday weekend coming up in the United States, he asked that the tickets be overnighted to him, and the Gator rep was happy to oblige.

Hate for this to be my first post on here, BUT...
Looking at going for the July 8th attempt. Would need 2 tix (causeway preferred) plus vehicle placard. Anyone have spares? Yes, it's a silly question but even those need to get asked...
Am monitoring ebay as well, I'll get tickets one way or another. It's just a matter of how many organs I'm going to have to sell!

Thanks for the update Craig.
I too am feeling a tad bit concerned.
After having my package initially missing, I was ecstatic to find they had arrived in Ontario this morning, and were on the delivery truck shortly thereafter.
I patiently waited on the front porch for the FedEx truck and was extremely elated when my package arrived.
However, when I opened the package, what I received was 1 VC ticket with boarding pass that was intended for someone else in Canada, and not my 3 causeway tickets.
I have yet to receive my new tracking number and this happened 2.5 hours ago. I'm doing my best to remain calm and patient as I understand mistakes happen, but feeling very stressed out right now.
I hope no one else is experiencing similar setbacks.

Randomly emailed FDT and Gator Tours yesterday night in a hope they might have the odd Causeway ticket available from returns etc. In the hope I could write off the money spent on my KSCVC ticket as a casualty of being a shuttle hugger. Anyway got an email back from FDT today saying they have a small number available. So long story short. I rang, they did, I bought, I happy.
See you at the causeway
