Klockit said the order would be going out today and I'd get an email confirmation when the stuff ships. I never got the email confirmation so they lied. They claim it's being shipped USPS which should mean I'll get it in two to three days from Wisconsin but I'm not so sure......

I ordered the router bit from MCLS and who knows when that's getting here either.

I should be starting to ship these out next week sometime, I'll keep youse guys posted.

I stopped at Klockit one day on a whim. Great place and great folks. Doesn't surprise me, though, that they're e-mail inept.

I think an ulterior motive was to unload mass amounts of packing peanuts...

Where do you want me to ship it to, Virginia or some APO address? When are you going to be coming home?
