Fred,

I've sent you a PM (with no response from your end) and the website I placed my order through for center caps is currently out of service. So, reaching out to you publicly because I have had a change in my shipping address and trying to have the center caps shipped to the correct address.

Please send me a PM when you see this post. Thank you.

Hi Fred, do you think these center caps will be on the way by Father's Day. (That is my Father's Day gift to me!).

Yes I've seen your post Lee, and they are coming in at the new #7806 addy ;) I just have a really bad habit of never replying PM. I normally get on avg 16,876/week... sometimes more loll

As per bad habit, I am replying here... instead of by PM :D (CC by PM)

Oh all gone those little caps! you should get those in a few days. Dropped them all at the post office last Sat morning and they are sending them in batch of 3x per day as per 'non-commercial' rules (I do not have a registered company, and even if I had... they are ALL marked as "GIFT"). Same price for me, you get to avoid pay import tax on them that way :cool:

Updating the system and emailing you guys s I get the tracking numbers daily from my little postman(women)

ps: it was bloody hard letting those jewels go, me think you guys will freak out when you receive them. Really happy with the results.. you'll soon see what I mean

That got to be a system glitch ;) Seriously though, enjoy those beauties Paul and thanks for the support :cheers:

PS: I'm keying those tracking # as they come in guys. They text those to me at 0800 each morning (how kind, not 'standard' services btw). On the other hand, I can't pressure that little local post office for obvious reasons or they'll give me grief... got to be their way or-we-loose.

(Welcome to my China! :D)

fridsten 05-17-2017 11:15 PM

I've got the email! Awesome! :)

I see above you're not much for PM's-I'm interested in getting a set of your next round of Projector Lights to back up my originals. Thanks again!

nope - never been never will. Sent you my email (by pm :cool:)

I've been traumatized from pm, still have nightmares about it. From 100+ stray solicitations down to a very tasteless(at the time) death treat lolllll

fridsten 05-18-2017 10:23 PM

While we're waiting for delivery, it would be nice to see a picture of the finished product...
