Thanks for the info Chip (and Debunix!)--I figured it would be something like that, but it's nice to know for sure. I don't order internationally very often, so this is all still pretty new to me.Chip wrote:I will take the risk for less expensive items ... I will also weigh the cost factor compared to the cost of the piece. Plus if I want it NOW ... the answer is easy, EMS. But really, SAL might only be several days slower.
Don't tell me about it. I used to open the parcel in front of the postman as it is the only way to file a complaint in case of a problem. With Mago, I just give up ! You have to take at least two minutes to open the box, then you have to go into a whole new unpacking for each item...Chip wrote:TBH, I have never heard of a lost or damaged package from Mago, he is very careful in packing ... the box could dropped, kicked, run over ...

When I go pick one up at the post office, people in the line behind me are just getting mad ! So now, I just take my parcel and open it at home...
We will do a count up instead since I use the count up feature on timers to brew tea which does away with the bleeping beeping!AdamMY wrote: Can not wait, Chip do you have a count down going somewhere that we can tune into?

Was I being coy again?Hmm hmm, so here we are... "early next week"...Chip wrote:I have received good news regarding the Eiichi ROCK SSO pieces. They might be shipped to Mago late this week. I am hoping to have photos a few days later. So, I am optimistically thinking early next week I hope to have all the photos.

BTW, this piece will be designated SSO 16, Eiichi ROCK despite the delayed release of SO 15. (SO 15 was delayed due to complications in producing a very cool SO!)karmaplace wrote:I read this as I head out the door to run errands and head to work.Chip wrote:... let me put it this way, do not venture too far from your computer!
Does this mean there are/will be pictures soon?
You have no idea how glad I am of this. I've tried to hop in on a few SOs, only for them to be SOLD OUT.Chip wrote:The selection process will be as fair as possible, but for this SO will not be based on time received.
