Lacky - nice score!!

Maybe you could ask to speak with someone via phone-support?

I agree your chances might be better if you cashed-out less. Maybe $5k? Probably not though.

Keep us updated.

I'm wondering at this point if I can pay a "special" service charge of a couple hundred and have some one drive it to a fed ex office and overnight it?

A little personal here: But are you really in need of the dough?
Or are you just anxious/little panicky to get it as quickly as you can because you don't like the uncertainty?

lacky · #14 01-23-2007, 05:29 AM

meh, I'll pm you

Is USP refusing to deliver for you

This seems most likely. UPS dropped Stars (and maybe all gaming companies?) because they don't want to be aiding and abetting "illegal online gambling."

I seriously doubt this is true. UPS will ship anything that doesn't carry special DOT regulations. FedEx will ship literally anything you can get on a truck as long as you pay them the price of following DOT regs. This isn't a conspiracy. It doesn't go all the way to the top, man. It isn't bigger than JFK and Elvis and John Lennon put together. This is just FT stalling for time either because they need to liquefy assets to cover the recent rash of cash outs or because their CS sucks... maybe both.

Ha, okay. sorry if it's touchy.

Also - you may want to try PM'ing FTPDoug also.

He's been pretty helpful with 2+2'ers having problems.

Heh, nobody said it was a conspiracy. Just another possible bit of fallout from the Feds' intimidation tactics.

In any case, you might be right, I might be right, or it might be something else entirely. Time will tell, but I think it's worth asking whether other sites are still, actually, currently being served by UPS.

How is it different from UPS mail besides the speed?

"Your check will be sent through regular post delivery, and
should be delivered in 25-35 business days."

That's pretty fast these days...LOL

"Is there a physical location for full tilt poker? Could I get on a plane, fly to wherever and pick up my money in person?"

This encourages me to make lots of money so I can afford to fly and get my money instead of dealing will all this BS.

Priceless
