Wavebox Arrival?

[moonpod]

Well....dare I ask....are they here????

 

[rvitko]

Not yet, it could be as late as tomorrow.

 

[moonpod]

I feel like the kid in the back of the car during the road trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

 

[rvitko]

No problem. They should have arrived yesterday but I get a feeling Customs didn't do inspections from Wednesday- Sunday so their is likely to be a delay.

Poor Roger!!! Oh to be pestered incessantly about the arrival of Tunze products...oh well, good to have business!!

They still arent here. They should show today. On the positive side 20 more were shipped 4 days after this shipment and 24 extension boxes are scheduled for ship out tomorrow.

In other good news 50 large magnet holders are shipping with the extensions.

For the bad news- only 10 7095's have been shipped. Turns out the electrician has been busy with church activities and hence the delay. I presume he is part of the reenactment of the passion play they do every Christmas in Penzberg. That is the cause of the delay but I was told everything possible would be done to send 40 more this week.

 

[moonpod]

anyway to try and get dropshipping?

 

[rvitko]

I would rather not, I have already carefully worked out the alotment of the shipment. I know it sucks. I expected to be working hard this week with shipping and filling orders and I am twiddling my thumbs and doing paper work. As soon as they arrive they will be shipped, if it comes late tonight it will be put away and inventoried in time for shipping tomorrow.

Chuck, how can you pout when you have a skimmer producing skimmate thick enough to eat with a fork (but use a spoon...to get every drop)?

 

[Frisco]

I feel like it's a couple days before Christmas when I was 5 years old!!!

Ain't that the truth!!!

 

[Maximus]

Frisco,
Wanna give me your spot in line?

 

[rvitko]

They just showed up.

Roger, do you know if I can use it with only 9/16" between the waterline and glass?

I'm first on the waiting list with Marine Depot who I assume will be getting a few units (of course you can always ship direct to me!).

 

[moonpod]

I second what mhurley said!

You really have to relate to European culture to understand this one. In some ways I wish we Americans would adopt more of a European culture. We embrace this in small, entreprenurial companies, but our bigger "efficiency minded" large corporations would frown on this kind of thinking. Sad that we have traded off productivity for the hapiness (and sometimes spiritual well-being) of the average worker here in the U.S.. I for one am happy to wait a bit longer for my 7095, so that the electrician can be a part of his town's tradition. He's a better craftsman for it, and so is the company who chooses to delay their shipment to allow him the time. Hurray for Tunze! :thumbsup:

I agree and I know how it is their so I can't see what could be done but it is frustrating and I want to get them to people as fast as I can. FWIW I know the guy and he will make up the time, I have seen him come in on weekends and nights when it is critical and he takes his job very seriously and is really good at it. They will come in before Christmas, I know that much. I got the 10 today and they are pretty sharp.
