it matter s with the amount of cd's u order........ when i ordered 10 cd's they reached me in 1 month........ and when i ordered 50 .. i got them in 3 months........ :)

No. of Cds has nothing to do with delivery time. This time i've ordered only 5 cs and took almost 3 months.

I got one shipment of 30 cds within a month earlier.

It depends on their order traffic. They may be getting millions of order now, thats why its delayed. mind that they have to keep it free.

It will take some time now because people all over the world have ordered for Breezy...If you order a little later maybe we will get it faster...

I think Canonical should stop sending free CDs to people so easily. Many ppl think that Canonical distributes free CDs so that they can have more ppl to use Linux....something like a conversion mechanism. It also gives ppl a feeling that Linux is actually free (gratis).

Canonical has gone crazy! I had ordered 3 Breezy CDs, one each for x86, x86_64 and Mac. I just received FIFTEEN CDs, 10 of x86, 3 of x86_64 and 2 of Mac!!!

If anyone needs the x86 CDs, please contact me. I am located in Mumbai (Thane to be specific).

I got it around 28 or 29 last month which was the date i expected it as it came after around a month or two to Vignesh who is laso from chennai.
