It took well over a month for a couple of creasers I sent to reach people in the Eastern U.S.A. And then there was this bit of craziness... The item took from Nov. 18 to Dec. 25 just to get out of the country! So, IOW, I wouldn't give up hope just yet! The folks at USPS badly need to take geography lessons.... This is a burnish tool present from me to tony see. @dieselpunkro i can only guess the delay reason was maybe because the tool was a deer tine?

CFM Frodo Posted January 27, 2024 CFM Report Posted January 27, 2024 Fred: none of my business, but I will not do business on any forum with a person who is not an established member. To much of a chance in getting ripped off AND. You STILL get hit now and then i have a guy right now I am involved in a trade with. He never sent his and has more useless excuses than I do !!!!!

Contributing Member fredk Posted January 27, 2024 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 27, 2024 No money was paid over so I've not lost any, but no sign of the items he said he posted. I'll wait a while yet. It may be coming by the slow-boat via China and Oz and will arrive in 8 to 10 months time. A chap in Oz sent me a book on early English pistols via the slow-boat, it took 6 weeks to arrive. I once had car parts sent 1/2 way round the world that arrived the same day - local time They were rear light units for my Caddy. They were sent by the breaker in Alaska at 06.00 by FedEx and arrived in my country at 08.00 the next day, which was actually 23.00 the same day in Alaska. Then it took another 2 weeks for the FedEx 'partner' courier to deliver to my house - but thats another story Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Contributing Member fredk Posted January 28, 2024 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 28, 2024 Has anyone else noticed that chrome tan leather dulls blade fast? I put a new blade in my strap cutter and used it to cut 2.2ml chrome tan. I got 6 straps 75cm long and 2/3 of 7th and the blade was dull wouldn't no more Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Pretty typical for ' Australia Post' , lol Its takes around 10-12 days for stuff to arrive from the east ( or anywhere else) to my town . A line in a movie ' ' O Brother Where Art Thou?' " Aint this a geological oddity, two weeks from anywhere" , I'm thinking, yep, that sounds like Australia Post , lol HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Handstitched, that is Fiebings Purple, same on both sides. As it fits perfectly the way I want it to there is no need to stretch it tsunkasapa, Gremilns only cause problems with RAF machinery. As an aside; at least into the early - mid 1970s putting down 'Gremilns' on an RAF aircraft service card was a legit reason for when a ground crew could not locate and fix an intermittent fault as reported by the air crew. Gremilns were first discovered by the RFC during WW1. They are not what the 1984 film portrayed Gremlins show up on airliners too .... Quote
