Here they are all lined up like little soldiers, ready to begin their long journey from Down Under to the shores of the USA, ready to unearth untold treasures.

Just so you won't forget what the name of this new dynamic COILTEK coil, we actually put labels on them. <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock">

As promised, they would be leaving Australia the 14th. and Trevor and Matt took a second to snap a couple of shots of the a couple of the pallets that they are busy loading, even as this message is being posted; just to show COILTEK is trying to stay on schedule. It's only about 3 pm Down Under.

Just say a silent parayer that God's a willin' and the creek don't rise so they get to Las Vegas without any delay. Usually they get to LAX overnight, and then they are trucked to Las Vegas, which only takes a day. But sometimes they screw up at LAX and off load the shipment into customs, and then customs at LAX wants to know how I'm going to clear the goods.
Then it is a big fat mess. But I am all over this one. As soon as I have an airway bill, I will be in touch with Singapore airlines at LAX telling them what trucking company to take it to, and have it fowarded in bond to Las Vegas.
We will start printing invoices tomorrow and charging credit cards so all the paper work is ready to slap on the boxes.
Thanks everyone for your patience and the show of support!

Thanks DOC

Guys please, those of you who know me know that they will be sent out the same day they get in my hands.
I will personally take them to the main post office in Las Vegas that is open to 9 pm. HOWEVER, until I get them in my hands, I can't do a thing.
Don't offer me extra money to send yours out first, because first, I can't be bribed, and second, everyone's will go out the same day.
I know you have waited patiently, and I have waited impatiently, but I just have to keep saying the serenity prayer:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
I can't make the plane fly faster, I can't make the truck from LAX come to Vegas first and then backtrack to Barstow, I can't make customs clear the shipment any faster than they do. TRUST me, you don't even want to ask customs when they think it will clear, because they will let it sit for a week just to spite you.
Here's the real life scenario if everything goes perfect - and it won't! Maybe 1 in 5 shipments does it all click.
Shipment goes to airport in Adelaide. Paperwork and airway bill have to be created by freight company. It is unlikely it will get on a flight today. Hopefully tomorrow on Tuesday, arriving LAX Wednesday. Leaves by truck Wednesday night arrives Las Vegas 10 am Thursday morning. Paper work is given to my clearing agent. With any luck it might clear customs on Friday around 3pm. More than likely it won't clear until Monday.
When it clears I will have friends standing by taht will load my van and truck - I can't lift because of the hernia surgery two weeks ago.
The coil boxes will get your labels slapped on them with postage for Priority Mail at my office and put back in my van. I will then go to the Post office, and have to off load them 2 at a time into a wheeled bin, that I hope I will be able to talk someone into pushing into the post office for me.
You will get them two days later. The day you get them you will go out and find a bunch of stuff and start posting lots of pictures, and I have no doubt you will agree that the wait will have been worth it.
Thanks !

Well not yet, but I do have your address label made up, how about that third one in the second row ? It looks pretty lucky !
BCOT!

I told them to ship what they had ready !
They will keep working to get me another load in April.
This may hold me for a couple of weeks.

This must be one heck of a coil based on its name <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock"> A mammal that looks like a furry duck, that lays eggs, and has a very posionous sexual barb that can kill humans. This "down under" Easter Bunny must be extra special <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin">
I'm waiting for the reports..... Hope you're doing better DOC!
 
You can bet the farm the Platypus coil will be scanning this 1849 settlement the same night <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
Thanks again Doc, Paul (Ca)
