I submitted one on september 1st for event 4600.

The page still says EUC submission pending. I've talked to heidi twice and she assures me they have it and are reviewing it. It just seems incredible to me that they're taking this long to even send it on to battle creek.

I did a follow-up chat with GL today, and was told the same thing as yesterday- that my EUC had been passed on to the proper dept. and I would receive an e-mail when the status changes. I got home tonight and found an e-mail waiting for me...apparently I had to sign and fax in an export form, whether it was going to be exported or not. Not sure if this is a fairly new standard thing (I haven't purchased for almost 2 years before event 4600) but I promptly printed, signed, scanned, and e-mailed it...and will follow-up with a fax in the morning just to make sure.

But what I wanted to point out- the e-mail I received stated this:
Keep in mind that the bid closing date for this sale was August 13, 2009at 5 PM EST. The EUC deadline is September 14, 2009. If a DRMS-acceptable EUC form has not been received by then, your account may be placed on hold until a 25% default fee or $30.00, whichever is greater, has been paid.
Event 4600 ended on Aug. 27, NOT Aug. 13. I'm sure, as with anything having to do with the govt., accuracy on their part doesn't matter, and I only have until Sept. 14 for a DRMS-acceptable (key wording!) form to be received by them. If it takes another 2 weeks for them to let me know about any other issues, I'll be over deadline.

I got the same notice, forgot to sign export form and they wanted a copy of my business license.. I signed it faxed it and my status box has not changed, waiting for revisions. Same event,4600. has anyone ever been charged a 25% default fee ? I thought that running the EUC through a business would be better, maybe not.

Yea, Daniel is the guy I tried getting hold of for 2 days to get the date straightened out, with no luck. Did anyone else get an e-mail with the wrong date listed?

Other than when I was a EUC newbie, Daniel also pulled the incorrect closing date BS with me. It was kinda of funny as I used the version that GL had saved on their site and the only information that I had to enter was my SS# and the event number.

I sent GL a very terse responce and the following day my EUC was sent to Battle Creek.

Well, like the dummy that I am....I am waiting on a EUC to clear BC from event 4573 (8/6/09) I went and bid on another item in event 4671 (9/10/09) amd was high bidder. Submitted EUC 9/11 and got a email late friday that it has been sent to BC. Lets see which one clears BC first........

I spoke to Heidi-live chat today, and was told even though the sales date was wrong, that my deadline for the EUC is close of business today. And although she did confirm that they have received the EUC & export letter, she can't confirm that it will be processed in time.

What other business can get away with dragging their feet until the customer misses a deadline, then charge the customer for it? Obviously they don't care, they get paid 25% of the price, don't have to deliver on it, and get to resell the item and make more money on it. There is no incentive to provide good customer service. I do have to say Live Chat has always been polite and seems to do their best, but half the time I've dealt with them, I get the answer that the paperwork is in another department and they can't check on it. Thats how it went 2 weeks before I found out I needed to sign an export letter! I was repeatedly told it was in another dept., they can't check on it, and that I should just wait. auaaua

A small miracle happened!!! JUST before close of business today, I was upgraded to Sent to Battle Creek. Should be smooth sailing now! Good luck to the rest of you waiting. Anyone miss the deadline?
