It still had to come through with the new rules that went into effect in early May.  Unless he got it before May 8th at least I think that was the date the rules changed.  There was a change a bit later, it changed the rate.  I am just curious as to Gil's experience.

You are correct, I just didn’t want you waiting at the mailbox for yours thinking they were all on the way  ;)

Any issues coming through customs?  I assume mine is right behind yours as I ordered it on March 22nd as soon as I saw that first thread.

I believe Gil’s was rushed and shipped early so he could share it at Coolspring. I don’t think any others will be sent out till near the end of the month.
