Thanks, J'aime! It makes me feel a little better to know that someone else's says the same thing ... as long as that doesn't mean they've screwed up everyone's.I think if I didn't know about the issues from the last doll release, I probably wouldn't be as edgy as I am. <practices calming breaths>
Good luck as well; LMK if you get any status update on yours as the week progresses!
Did you order both dolls in the same order?
If so then it is very likely that UPS is just scanning one tracking number which is why Anna is in Transit but Elsa is not. This happens with the Designer Doll preorders wherein you are provided a tracking number for the dolls and a separate one for the designer bags. The tracking number for the designer bags never actually update but when you receive the package the bags are actually in the same box as the designer dolls hence why the tracking could not be scanned.
So in the case of two 17" dolls like this, if this is indeed the scenario where it's one "functioning" tracking number for two dolls, would they come in one big box or two separate boxes? For the November dolls, I only got Elsa online (we lost Anna online in an "add to cart" fiasco), we got Anna thanks to some wonderful family who were at their store. So I've never gotten two LE dolls in one shipment like this before.

Ah, I knew Polaris would have words of wisdom! Yes, they were in the same order (I had multiple tabs open and put them in my bag simultaneously, as I didn't want to waste any time) and yes, as you can probably tell, I have never ever ordered LE dolls at 3 am before.If this is fairly standard, I will suspend my freaking out. I was a little worried that having them in the same order would be a problem (as in, if they were part of the same order but shipped individually, there was room for human error at the warehouse). I'm glad I started this thread because you all are making me feel better!!!
The funny thing is that usually they do come in two separate boxes. So no matter if you order them in separate orders or in the same one it usually gets to you the same way with both dolls having their own separate boxes. But this time around it does look like they are shipping both dolls together so who knows we could possibly be getting both dolls boxed together. Either way I would give it until Monday, hopefully they will both update as it does sound like everything is going smoothly so far, other than the tracking numbers not updating.
I'm starting this thread purely to vent my anxieties, but as the week goes on, if anyone needs/wants to join in, please feel free. (I hope not, though.)
I should be THRILLED because I received two shipping confirmations on my LE 17" Anna and Elsa dolls, right? One email had a tracking # for Anna and a separate tracking # for Elsa. The second email had the tracking # for Elsa only (same # as other message).
HOWEVER ... The tracking # for Anna indicates she is "In Transit" and will arrive on Tuesday. Yay! But the tracking # for Elsa *STILL* just says "Shipping label created." The two tracking #s are linked in the UPS system as "Number of packages in this shipment: 2"; one indicates that Anna is 4.7 lbs and the other indicates that Elsa is 4.4 lbs. Which implies that there are, indeed, two packages in the shipment. SO WHY HASN'T ELSA'S TRACKING # UPDATED?????
I'm kind of bugging out because I have this terrible feeling that the warehouse has screwed up again (like with the last set of Frozen dolls) and that while Anna is truly in transit, Elsa is sitting in the warehouse somewhere, unshipped and possibly never to be seen. Like, they created the label for Anna and handed her off to UPS, and then they created the label for Elsa but never actually slapped it on the box and gave it to UPS.
OK, that's pretty much all I have to say, aside from "Disney is going to get a phone call DAILY if Elsa doesn't show up or her tracking # doesn't update SOON."

Yes, Disney leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to shipping online orders (in the US, at least). Last summer, I ordered the Mad Tea Party ear hat ornament (shocking, right?) along with an outfit for my honorary niece. Well, they just chucked both in a box and sent it, and of course the ornament banged around in the box and arrived with one of the rings that formed the "ears" broken off. Needless to say, they got an earful and I got a replacement. But again, it was easily replaceable.
But thank you all for your input. I will be able to sleep for a few nights until I see what does or does not arrive on Tuesday. Community at its best! And good luck to all our UK/EU friends who will be ordering their dolls this week!!!
Well my tracking number for Anna comes up as not found (it says shipping via USPS and DS.com gives me looks like a USPS DC #) but DS.com typically ships UPS Mail Innovations-Innoventions-whatever it is called which is UPS ground part of the way and USPS the rest (to PO Box).
And no tracking # for Elsa. DS.com says internal email sent and give it 2-3 business days so I will call them again Tuesday for Elsa and tomorrow for Anna.
So, question. You all pre-ordered the dolls, will there be a day of release? Or did they sell all of them as a pre-order?

Does anyone know what order they ship in? I would have assumed according to what time you placed your order, since that just makes sense.
The dolls are expected to be released on March 18. So the release date really applies moreso to those that preordered them in store. Because that is the day that the person will be able to go in store to pick up their preordered doll.
I hope everyone's dolls arrive safe and sound!!!! Xx
Actually, not-so-fun fact: People have posted on FB saying their stores (in certain areas, NOT ALL) have already called to tell them that their dolls won't be available for pick-up Tuesday due to weather-related shipping delays. So even THAT isn't foolproof (although you are guaranteed to receive your dolls sooner or later). I'm tellin' ya, it's a good thing we're all addicted to these fancy toys because WHO IS HAVING FUN HERE???? ;-)
Haha collecting is a lot of fun especially when you get the dolls but yes I do agree the waiting to receive the dolls and the anticipation of a looming release can make things very nerve wracking!
