@RedRyderIt’s very possible Gil; the package was delivered by Fedex, and it had all the stamps & markings that it was dispatched from China. My friend was able to get back in business with no delay at all; which is amazing!
What I wanted to say is that this vendor (Jin) went out of their way, allowing the purchase of a machined part that they don’t sell by itself in order to accommodate a buyer, and they did that so quickly at a very cheap price. It also appears to me that this vendor (Jin) is more than just a model engines maker; but has a wide range of product offerings.
