Had my Drummer shipped out to the uk just over 6 weeks ago and still nothings arrived. Anyone experienced a wait as long or longer? Going out of my mind here just waiting. So if we could all join hands and pray to the drummer god then maybe just maybe the darn thing i'll turn up. |

beast If it ain't there by the end of the week, the postal service is gonna have to do something here. there excuses are getting tired and starting to get to me. they are blaming customs, and a holiday in there and god knows what else just not themselves. we are still trying to get answers over here |

Buckinfubba Did you ask kevin to call them again yesterday? Mail me with their advice for this week please. Had a word with postie this morning and he assures me it would be here within the day if its been released from customs or in this country. Then again we have a similar postal service here, blame anyone but themselves |

Similar thing just happened to a friend. He e-bayed a Micron slip-on. It was shipped to Canada and took a little over six weeks to get there. I figure a large metal cylinder (Drummer) is probably sitting in a remote cage somewhere away from everything just waiting to be checked out. |

Customs uk assure me they wouldnt have it for more than a day so its gotta still be in the usa somewhere, maybe customs there works different, Good thing i have doom 3 to keep me busy whislt i wait. |

sometimes when I ship custom lighters out of the country, Customs will sit on them for weeks. Canada is by far the worst. Good Luck!! |

Beast, I feel your pain, waiting on my Drummer as well, though not near as long. US Postal treats Alaska as a another country. Try this one though, bought set of tires for my 12 S. Being shipped via FedEx. Went from Medford, Or, to NY (supposedly coming to Alaska). When I called FedEx, was told they had to go to NY to go through customs to come to Alaska. Finally got a supervisor, the tires are lost. Have to contact shipper to file a claim. Oh well, the joys of living in the two largest states in the union. |

Beast... if you dont mind me asking how did you go about the Drummer deal. Did you source a stocker in the US and have it delivered to the guys or did you take another route? And here is a question you MAY mind...how much all in was the deal(Scottish you see...only deal in bargains!). |

Exup Stock can supplied by the "guys". Price has now increased as they include the fatlet so best to ask Buckinfubba or see www.kdfab.com for more upto date info. Think mine was $588 inc express pigeon carriage to the uk. lol Going to fit it myself for free. Cheap if it arrives, expensive if it doesnt (hell it cant be much longer) |

beast we talked to the post office, and they gave us the same story you are getting. they reassured us that if for some reason there was a problem it would've come back to us. which it hasn't. they say their is no way of tracking it, which I think is bunk. all we can do is wait them out, and if soemthing arises we will get it worked out between us and you. but heres a notice to all. we will no longer use the postal service for out of country orders. it is cheaper wbut it is inefficent. so UPS will be the way, it will just be expensive. sorry about that but thats the new deal unless you want to take your chances and wait for a month or 2 to get the pipe |

Buckin, ups from now on for sure, at least when its being tracked they'll prob take more care and deliver sooner. you get the mail i sent you earlier? Please send any correspondence to my usual e-mail address as i cant always check on badweb. Cheers. Dscak Hope your drummer comes soon(shouldnt think it'll take too long). Cos i sure your gonna love it. (Message edited by Beast on August 03, 2004) |
