Then ship with whoever you want.

Brilliance...

the last of them came in a little while ago and all rods are accounted for :bigtu:
I should be getting them out tomorrow. May very well just use USPS Priority flat rate for everyone, if I have to go there anyway.


I have a spec sheet that shows procedures and clearances. I'll scan it in and post it as able.

i sort of can't wait, all that's left are pistons.... hopefully the group buy comes in another month or two, when i have more money :)

All rods were shipped today, USPS Priority with $350 insurance :)
Shipping was $14.45 for almost everybody, so most people had very small over and underpayments of just a few cents either way. I'll put a spreadsheet together, but it looks like I broke even dead on.

USPS didn't have any of the nice, small flate rate boxes, so most of you got the big boxes. And it was a bitch to get them all packed up; it took a lot of damn packing material. So most of you got a lot of shredded newspaper stuffed in the box to keep everything still. But overall, I spent a LOT of time wrapping each rod up and packing down the boxes. Anyone who's bought something from me can testify that I don't screw around when it comes to packaging.

So everyone not in Canada should get their rods by the weekend. Craig, sorry I forgot to ask how long it would take yours to arrive, but they went Priority so it shouldn't be long.

If you US guys don't get them by saturday, let me know.

Ben my receptionist says thank you for covering her with 6 lbs of shredded newspaper.

Awesome packing job. Whats going on with the specs on the rods? HAve you scanned those?

Splitime 01-10-2008 05:07 PM

Loki, bring yours over tonight. My food scale is decently accurate :p
I'm betting my set is sitting at home too.

I have the 2560, manifold, dp and rods sitting in my trunk. If someone breaks in this is gonna such

Ben 01-10-2008 08:17 PM

glad they're showing up. most of them have a sheet with their weights included.

i'll scan the spec page as soon as i can. my scanner didn't feel like working when i tried the other day, and since i started a new job i haven't had much time.

XxGoKoUxX 01-11-2008 06:58 AM

got mine's yesterday probably... i went to go get my mail at 6AM, praying it was in my delivery box as usual.... i saw one of the bottom boxes were used and lost hope..... but i picked up the mail anyways... and to my surprise it was on the top box.... opened it up and it was beautiful, ben omega-wrapped the shit out of it, THANKS FOR CARING BEN :) (most people who have delivered me stuff dont care to put this much effort into packaging)

Ben 01-11-2008 07:33 AM

LOL, the first few I filled with packing peanuts, but I ran out. So each remaining box got stuffed with an entire shredded newspaper. I was lucky that I hadn't put the recycling out yet. :greddy:

tann3r 01-11-2008 12:25 PM

Lol, Great job Ben! You did an outstanding job. this is by far the fastest and most well organized group buy i have ever seen.
