[Elecraft] Re: [Elecraft_K3] K3 Shipping Status Update 11/26/07

[Stewart Baker]

Mine was ordered on 2nd May. Sent a mail to Lisa and got a reply back within 
24hrs. Gist is that as I did not pay 50% up front I will have to wait till those 
orders are cleared (no problem with that).

Lisa said that my order should be dispatched in about 3 weeks.
That will probably be about a month, and then the problems start !

It will get held up (or lost) in the Xmas post, and then despite taking 3 days 
to get to the UK, Parcel Farce will take another 3 weeks to get it to my door...
That puts my K3 arrival about mid to end of January 2008. 

Am I being overly pessimistic ?

Cat has left home after the constant kicking, however on the plus side the 
Mother in Law has decided not to visit at Christmas due to the black atmosphere 
at the 'RXQ QTH...

P.S. Decided to build my own K3 - now where's that blow torch for the SMD's ?
