...nothing "touchable" 'til present.
The last tracking info entry for the package was Munich/Germany (80 kilometers away, so quite next door) from yesterday, but sadly no package today.
I'm hoping for the best tomorrow - as long as there is no geetar, the PayPal money is on hold.
I'll post pics when the new "stuff" finally shows up ! ;)

Looks like you're handling it well and coolly, Axel. I know I wouldn't have been able to hold out this long!

Well Beth, I guess it is for two simple reasons that I have not yet freaked out completely, flickin' my red switch:

- 1st is the awesome support of all of you around in this forum

- 2nd are the beyond compare instruments that EBMM keeps issuing out of SLOville, which are almost worth every wait... :rolleyes:

Now let's see if the li'l Silo will arrive here after all.
The day it does I'll summon Lavender Pearl pics all over this thread :D

Patience ... I have a feeling that there's a little note of lavender already in the air... :rolleyes:

For the moment: Good night to everyone :)

CARPE NOCTEM

Any news yet?

Posted just a few minutes ago. Perhaps it'll be here tomorrow ?!?

Thumbs up !

If I might just bring back to attention, that seeing the tracking info you have to keep in mind that the item was bought the 5th May and paid online by PayPal the 6th... Now if that's not sort of a record !

WTF ?!?

Received a notice today that my lavender pearl babe is stuck at the customs... :eek:

Aaaaaargh, this is pure torture !

To the rescue !
Perhaps I should buy another Ball in the meantime to ease the wait... :rolleyes:

- floyded Silo in trans-teal ?

...it's almost like this lavender pearl babe is just not supposed to be mine...

Why is it in customs?

I bought it online from a guy in Canada and as I live in Germany it has to pass local customs here. This sadly means I have to pay an extra import tax of about 19% on the purchase price... :(
PITA fits this circumstance quite well I think :rolleyes:

...P.S.: ...and as it's Sunday today, I will not be able to go there before 2morrow... AAAARGH !

WOW!!!

it is good to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

i also finally recieved my axe that i thought was not gonna be....right after i started a claim w/ PP...POOF, a tracking #, go figure!!!!

the customs thing kinda sucks...i sold a EVH to a dude in Canada a few months ago and it got held up in customs for 2 weeks...he was getting worried, he sent a stranger a check for $3200, then his guitar doesnt show!!! be all was well in the end.

i hope you enjoy your guitar when it comes!!!:D:):D:)

Things cleared for tomorrow - I will do the "late" shift so I can drop by at the customs early in the morning and see how much import tax I will have to pay... :rolleyes:

Heheheheheheeee :cool:

I just could not keep my hands still while waiting for tomorrow and had to shoot me another SUB1 :D:D:D

Addict ?!
Knucklehead ?!
I guess "addict knucklehead" fits me nicely for the moment :cool:

Weehaw, life's good, folks !

...pics of the lavender babe hopefully to come tomorrow, the SUB later this or next week...

P.S.:
Tony - don't let me die stupid. Just for the non-native speaker: What does "woot" mean ?!?!? :confused:
