I ordered 5 Ubuntu 10.04 CD's on Tuesday I think and I was wondering when I will be receiving them.

Thanks.

Ten weeks or so

But who buys nowadays if you have an internet connection. Try torrent download. If you are too eager to buy a CD, then scout for local Linux user groups

It actually didn't take long to get mine.

I was one of those who drooled on the pre-release order page, and managed to snag one right after they started offering it.

It arrived a few days ago

You can check your order status, when you log in to your account.

I ordered a copy of Lucid on the 28th of April and it was shipped on the 2nd of May, on average it takes about 2 weeks from when it is shipped from the Netherlands to when it arrives here in Williams Lake, so it should arrive this coming week.

Shipping 5 cds might take longer to process maybe.

I ordered on cd when 10.04 just got released, and received it few days ago.

Can all of those who ordered cds explain why. All of you, according to locations, should have access to broadband. Why wait for a cd for days or weeks if you can get it in the matter of hours?

If you ordered 5 CDs from the store, then you should recieve them in a week or two.

Maybe they like the printed cd artwork.
