Phase algorithm?

I apologize if this subject has been brought forward before, but I noticed something strange about my phase game. With each change of phase, tree days pass by. Allways tree days, and then a new phase. Are they having some script running, keeping me "updated" every 3 days or what? I know the updates aren't very accurate, but if this algorithm of updates won't change that means: I am now in phase 6, so 9 phases still to go » 9x3 = 27 days » add 2 weeks for the shipping (from UK to Belgium) = 41 days!
Funny, I don't know if I should be happy with this or not. Maybe I should give a call...

Phases 9-14 went by in less than a week for me. I'm at day 51 right now, but it has shipped.

It would be so cool if phase 9 to 14 went by in a week for me too.. but I have this strange feeling that won't happen...

I've been stuck in Phase 3 for quite a while now. Oh well. I don't think there's actually any way to accurately predict when you'll change into and out of phases.

Best way is to call, I guess... But then again, if you have to call each time again for an update

Yeah, perhaps AW should change that or implement something new on their website. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to do to get up-to-the-minute status online rather than calling in all the time.

What has worked best for me is using the magical and mystical "MAGIC EIGHT BALL"

yeah, I bet it did

Maybe I could try some ritual dancing while saying: "getting jiggy on it", and let the weather predict what phase I am in?

it has to be performed in the nude-and it's only good for phases 8-11

Not all phases last the same.

It was a month for me from order date to it being at my lovely living area. BUT it was 3.5 weeks from order to phase nine. Then a week for phase nine - being at my house.

yeah guntizzle, I had the same problem during the first 2 phases... bank problems...
Anyway, from what I can see out of most comments, it seems that once in phase 9 everything goes quicker. Oh man, I hope it really does... My patience is put on the biggest test ever!

I think they have the phases to keep people happy. Mine went from 5 to 2 with one phone call. All that stuff from 2-5 undone? I think not, I think the only phases that really take place are, payment, building, shipping. Every other phase is to keep you everyone from callin and buggin them.
