Hi all... Kevin sent me an email today:

Hi Mike,

I trust Barb sent the PayPal invoice for the residual amount? Let me know if not and I will take care of it.

In the meantime, we are working feverishly here to fill all the orders.

There are two very large factories that just switched to ZipFlex and they just cleaned me out of almost all my overstock on the popular sizes and shells. But we are rolling along and should have it all done next week sometime I think.

Please thank all the guys for the their patience.

Blessings to all,

Kevin


Just trying to keep you all informed...

Mike

Sounds like Kevin ought to be rolling in money right about now :lol:
That's pretty cool that large factories are switching over. Should help maintain the shell supply too, being that laminated shell can use thin pieces that would otherwise go to waste.

In any case, I'm not in any hurry except to look at the pretty strips. The projects I have in mind for them are a ways off :)

Now is a good time to check your PMs (over the next week). I am asking you to verify your mailing label. I will be sending the orders out in 3 batches, starting tomorrow evening.

You will get individual PMs indicating balances to be paid for shipping. I have kept up with amounts paid to me so far, I am aware of overages and underages, and I will be glad to send you my calculations with regard to your order. I will not wait for that to come in first... Im mailing out regardless. My wife wants her dinning room table back. Just paypal me as soon as you can (or whatever method we have used in the past).

Mike

The google document link you pm'd me did not work so I can not verify my shipping address.

Yeah, those foriegn (well, in the South we sar ferin) addresses look so odd to me. I just want folks to look at them to be sure I have transcribed properly. In fact, all I did was copy straight from the PMs and paste into the template. If there are any errors, they originated in the PMs to me. So look carefully.

Got my strips today, and they are every bit as green as I'd hoped :mrgreen: Great match with the redwood top and coco headplate I plan to use them with. And the final price including paypal fees and shipping isn't much over the 100+ strips price for my expensive type :P

Many thanks to Mike for doing all the shuffle work, and to Kevin at AST for being open to the idea of a group order with mixed types [clap]
