Hi Bruce, have you heard back from Heiko? Thanks.
I didn't chase it because you said you were now in contact with him. I'll ask again.

The number i received is supposedly still tracking but there is no update since the june 13th . Shows the same stuff every day with no update :

12.06.09 09:47 The shipment was processed at the outbound hub The shipment was handed in at local post office by customer
12.06.09 17:13 Parcel centre of dispatch Shipment to abroad was processed at the outbound hub
13.06.09 05:00 International Parcel Station Shipment to abroad was processed at the International Parcel Station (IPS)
13.06.09 08:49 Departure from outward Office of Exchange in Country of Origin Departure from outward Office of Exchange in Country of Origin

I think Heiko just emailed heavy_g saying his lights were shipped on the 11th but never actually gave him the correct tracking number.
I made a payment to Heiko on may 25th . that's more then a month ago . I'll give it another week ...

Now with experience with GB#1 I can say the same thing happened with those guys as well. Heiko uses sea freight and that itself takes about a month to get from Germany to the US. While its swimming there are no updates made to the DHL website and then suddenly without warning they start appearing in the US and get delivered either via DHL or USPS. So all I can say is sit back and relax, the goods are on its way. I'm sorry but there is nothing better I can say or do at this stage.

For all future GBs I think we need to negotiate air courier shipping with Heiko, this shipping method although cheap has caused me too much grief. In contrast I use DHL express shipping and that gets to the US in 48 hours.

Shouldn't be long now. I know atleast one person from the GB#2 who has received their package of lights and cables from Heiko.
