From Russia Wit Love.. Up to two months sometimes.. they come via boat freight. :D

I got my last pair of Fotons from Russia (purchased about 3 months ago) in 8 days. Now the Tung Sol 5998 that shipped from California last May? Still conspicuous by its absence. :grin:

I am waiting for more Satsumas and a couple times I could not even get the tracking system to work for USPS.

I do believe Russia is using flights again for international mail, I have received things in 8 days but it depended on port of entry, the customs office, then the US mail.

I'd message them and specifically ask for the 63' if ordering from them (thanks to @Paladin79 for the find on the 63' excellent tube)
I like them but it is hard to please everyone.

My caps for the Darkvoice were accepted at the Post Office in Texas last Saturday morning. They're still at the Post Office in Texas. I mean I know Texas is a big state and all, but still... :laughing:

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it is probably at the infamous Coppell, TX distribution center -- the Black Hole of the USPS. Packages go in and never come out. :unamused:

Or if elsewhere, please be be patient it does take a while to get across this big state on horseback. :wink:

LOL! So Coppell must be the TX version of NC's Mid-Carolina Distribution center near Charlotte. They need a warehouse as big as Texas just to store all the stuff they've "lost." :sweat:

Oh yes, love it! Can't wait! I'm driving down to Louisville tomorrow for your next gift.....LOL
Try to keep it small, quart size or less. My wife would be upset if I tried to stable a race horse in the shed. :ksc75smile:
You are a fine example of how one should treat a friend, @bcowen is on the other end of the scale. He searches for $1.89 bottles of scotch as a thank you.

My momma always taught me it's the thought that counts. At least that's what she always said when all I got for Christmas was a sock. But I always looked forward to my birthday when I'd get the other sock to go with it. :joy: :grin:
