The shipping number I was emailed has never shown me any progress at all past May 20, and I had to go to the German site to submit it. Your news above is nice to see.

I do think these shipping number issues need to be sorted out if you're going to continue doing business with him, Bruce. It can be very frustrating.

Here's what I see:

20.05.09 10:24 Departure from outward Office of Exchange in Country of Origin

If all of this is actually "normal" then I think the customers here in the US need to be told that. If I knew in advance to expect two weeks for delivery, or whatever it ends up being, I'd be fine, kwim? As with many things in life, it's the not knowing that ...
i got mine from him before the group buy and yes, the shipping "tracking" sucks. I even had a friend at DHL corporate do some digging for me. As it turns out, even though it's labeled "DHL" it's actually a co-branding with the German Post Office, which of course is then handed over to USPS, which has THE WORST TRACKING SYSTEM, period. DHL has no way to track it once it gets into the USPS system. It takes about two weeks from the last tracking update until delivery, and that's east coast, not sure about west.

I have received packages via USPS only to have the tracking not be updated to "delivered" for TWO BUSINESS DAYS after it was delivered. So yes, I strongly recommend locating a different shipment method if this is going to be an ongoing group buy.

We wanted cheap shipping, so this is the shit we have to put up with. You get what you pay for.

If there is more interest in the Lights and cables I will look to start another Group Buy shortly.

Let's start another group buy as I would be interested if similar pricing is available.

The 2nd group buy has already started. You should go to the group buy section and take a look.

It seems like its going up everyday because of the currency rate.
I paid 180 pounds which was 267 dollars 3 weeks ago and that was for just the cables.
Now 180 pounds is 290 dollars.
