Thanks again for helping me find that chip lolLooks like mine. Oh and where’s my finders fee?
The happiest — and most relieved — I've ever been to post in this thread!
I had been expecting — and eagerly tracking — two packages from the USA that were sent at the same time in May. Even though one went around the houses, tracking wise, it eventually turned up recently. The other one — containing the final pieces of my first TRK set — is still showing as being in the USA.
So you can imagine my surprise and joy this afternoon, going to my girlfriend's house for the first time in about a month — only to find that it had been delivered all along!
A huge, huge thanks to @Pinkdan and @sugarcane for the minty Pick Hobson fivers (and to @Lil Tuna and @RichMahogany for splitting); to @Pesto628 for the equally minty and beautiful Kings Crown $1s (and my first TRK box, too — super chuffed about that); to @kaimat for reshipping and, finally, to @Tommy for the stickers.

I spent two years in England as a child and don't recall anybody ever using the word "chuffed".
I've now added it to my Queen's English vernacular.

Congrats ! Can't wait to see the final product.
Someone was fighting you on this lot and @JeepologyOffroad on his, hard. That sellers auctions have been going really hot and heavy though.... I think its the feeding frenzy effect.

Nothing special. They're all drilled, but can be milled to take an inlay. So that's the plan!
Edit: and there's 600 or so of them lol

I do have the stuff... can go really well if you want to keep the HS! lol
I'm usually pretty reluctant to criticize any postal service, especially given the last 18 months, but this is ridiculous.
@justincarothers sent me 4 sample chips, shipped on June 15, and delivered today, July 26. And it cost $28.50 !!
And based on the tracking, the delay was not with Canada Post, nor even Customs. Purely USPS' fault:
Now, I've had some really good USPS experiences in the last month or two, stuff going Canada-to-USA in like 6 days. Plus I've seen plenty of domestic shipments talked about, that were really fast deliveries (thinking about the latest Chip Room sale, for example.)
So I feel a little bit insulted by USPS, that an international shipment took over a month to go from one facility to the next WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. Thanks very much for allocating appropriate resources to international mailings...

Mine has been "stuck" in the same Chicago Centre for 2 months now. Im not sure how that centre can be avoided but it would be nice if one could.
