Gauging Interest: RHS-10ATC Refractometer Group Buy

[rbdesigns]

The refractometers were supposed to be here today, but I haven't been able to get a hold of the manufacturer through email. I will give an update later tonight, after I give the manfacturer a call on status.

 

[rbdesigns]

Update, Sorry for the delay.

The refractometers will be here next week either the 28 or 29th. They are going to ship them out on the 26th. Once they give me the airway bill number I will post it if anyone wants to track the package.

It got delayed because of the amount of refractometers ordered. They couldn't adjust the production schedule to get them out in time.

I cant wait to get mine so I can strap an M80 to my crappy swing arm

Hey Scotch,

Are you still going to make it for an OC run?

Once I get the refractometers i will be driving down to Scripps to drop off the refractometers. So I can drop off on the way down on the 5 freeway, like I was going to do before. I will be attending the SD Frag Swap either way, if you want to come along. So far it's riotj, gemini, and myself attending.

Yeah man, I thought it was going to be August and we still wouldn't have the refractometers. The fun part starts on Thursday when I have to ship them. Did everyone pick up their roids bottles?

I know everyone is anxious for the refractometers, so I won't have a bunch of refractometers lying around.

 

[ScotchMaster]

I cant wait for my refracto

Alright guys, I have a slight problem. The package didn't clear customs. Since it is valued more than $2000 customs gave me a hard time and doesn't believe that it's for personal use. I have to pay a broker to get the package out for us.

 

[rbdesigns]

I already spoke to a broker and I went on the Customs website, Since it's more than $2000 I have to file a formal entry and post a surety bond.

 

[Charles99]

wwwooaaahhhh!!!!

Didn't know there was this much trouble involved. I'm sorry man. Couldn't you provide them w/ the list of RC members or possible direct them to the site?

 

[raskal311]

well that sucks........ what ever feed you have to pay I'll be more then happy to pay my share.

The customs lady was a punk. I told her it was a group of us who bought them. A reefing community got together and we purchased them, she thought I was bsing her.
