Several more orders completed.

Tonyt3 · Jul 16th, 2007, 09:01 AM

Officially, only 1 left now........ (out of the minimum 50 needed, so if you want more than one it can still be done.....

)

So the order definatly goes in. Any more takers????

GBMINI · Jul 16th, 2007, 01:40 PM

You got in contact OK with Debbie and Patty?

Yep, thanks.

Tonyt3 · Jul 16th, 2007, 11:10 PM

OK, full minimum order is now achieved.

Couple of outstanding payments, please let me know whats happening asap.....

Thanks

zoooooom · Jul 17th, 2007, 02:09 PM

And now the waiting begins

Tonyt3 · Jul 17th, 2007, 02:21 PM

OK, big update......

Order has been placed today, at a cost of £2805.96 to my credit card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GULP

Order is to be ready on 1st August, so less time than originally forecast. I will pick up the order in person and check every piece indevidually. Then it will take several days to prep for postage and then its up to the various carriers as to when you get it. I would hope that everyone would have theres by 15th of August if all goes to plan.

I can still accept orders to add to this until 24th July. After that it done. Finished. Never to be repeated. Not by me anyway.

I am still outstanding a few payments from people, I know theres holidays etc, so, in good faith, I have paid for those few that have ordered but not as yet completed payment. So it would be really nice to get payment off these few people..... If not, they will have to be 'ebayed' to try and recover costs.

Well, you've all shown a great deal of faith in this. I've currently taken over £4000 from people all around the world that basically I've never met and am probably not likely to meet. Its a great show of faith in both terms of trust of an indevidual, and also in terms of faith in the product. You've not seen it 'for real', I really hope no one will be dissapointed with the end results. Its certainly going to be so unique.

I will be posting photos of the large block tomorrow evening. My supplier assures me it is a stunning piece.

Thanks for your support.
Tony

Good stuff Tony

Well, I would hope the Brits all get theirs by the 7th of August. I have the trauma of going to the post office with 50 parcels to look forward to yet......

Could be a lot longer for our friends in the States, as I have no idea how good the US postal service is (most have specified normal postage). I know when I ran my ebay business stuff used to take about 8-10 days to be delivered.

Tonyt3 · Jul 19th, 2007, 08:00 PM

Thursday night, and still not here. Getting hacked off.

They used 'City Link' couriers - which have to be the very worse inho. I could have walked to the factory and back by now.

Griffer · Jul 20th, 2007, 08:49 AM

Good news about the order, thanks for all your hard work Tony.
