Fred just asked me to post this.
“There’s been some very large talk behind my sleeping back, and no error”… - Alex DeLarge…. I’ve been detecting rumblings from within the ranks in regard to shipping quotes. I am just as frustrated as you guys. I have been tirelessly working with Fedex, DHL, UPS USPS and Pony Express. Dealing with these companies and their oh, so efficient and knowledgeable staff is a very difficult and drawn out process. I’d rather be having drinks with Clarence Boddicker. – He’s a cop killer. Problem is with fuel charges ever changing, it is almost impossible to peg anyone of them down to a number. They have a formula for everything and lots of you guys live on the dark side of the moon and getting a good rate for some of these regions is a challenge, but I am trying. If I hurry this process, I can surely give you a shipping quote, but I assure you, it will be the highest one, because if you don’t ____ with them, they just quote you whatever, not taking into account all the other perks you have negotiated for region, size, weight, quantity, corporate discount. I am doing all I can, they even have a special standby rate, that is unquotable because you sign up at the last minute and if there is room on the plane, you get even more of a discount. It’s like a Robo-standby flight. So you see my Cyborg’s, your cries are not falling on deaf implants. Again, if you really want a quote, you’ll get one, but I can’t promise you it will be the best one and then you’re locked into something that could be $150. Higher than necessary. But, if you just can’t wait, I got your quote, right here…. But seriously, if I didn’t get back to you with a quote, it’s because I haven’t been told either or I am trying to get it down – savvy?
I am always available by email and I return calls as fast as humanly possible given all I have to do in my endless work day. And yes, its true, I am not behind my desk all the time, as I have robots to tinker together. I wish had robots building robots, but if you remember Screamer’s, you know how dangerous that could be. I prefer elves and cobblers to do all my work as I sleep.
I don’t have any more photos to release.. sorry. If you want me to email you a shot directly, just email me, and I will get on it.
Just sit tight guys, we’re all in this together. I always ship and my stuff is always worth waiting for. These things have taken over my studio and I would love to ship them out, but still dotting a few I’s and crossing some t’s. We are already manufacturing the second batch so it is possible that some of you will hear the dreaded words.- BACK-ORDERED…. Hoping I have enough for all the early adopters. They are being shipped in order received. The response to these things has been overwhelming and I can only make so many at a time, as these are all handwork. Looking to get these out in June.
Well, that’s the best spin I can put on this. It came straight from Johnson.
Thanks,
Fred"
