Christmas Pool

[badwolf]

Not heard anything about the gift I sent out and the recipient hasn't been active since December 09 2011, sorry to go on, just bit worried now anyone else still waiting

I believe you sent to the guy who was sending mine.  I haven't seen anything from him yet and he hasn't been on in forever.

well i hope hes ok and that nothing bad has happened.
was he a new member?

No he's been here over a year he's just not very active.  Still I am concerned that something may have happened to him because he was excited about this pool.

well i hope hes ok and that nothing bad has happened.

Fixed, I also hope he's okay

No, not a new member, don't think it matters who's who now, so mine was going to RFOneWatt, would just like to know if it got there, that's all

He was my sender as well.  No word from him and no package.  My post office hasn't seen anything, but I don't really trust them anyway.

I pm'ed him last week with concerns that the package may have been lost but I have not gotten a reply.

[tattoosteve99]

I have RFs personal email. I'll shoot him an email to check on him

Edit: email sent

[Mercury]

Sounds good Steve, hope he's alright!

[tattoosteve99]

Even though the pool is over I'm still making sure everything is good. Please post your number if not received and let's try to get all things resolved. Thanks

Don't know if this is going to help anyone but Ash sent me a MT I got from another member and she posted in the US on Dec 14th 2011 it only just arrived today Jan 6th 2012 so there may still be stuff out there in the mail system even this late ! have faith guys I was not too concerned as I know how bad the UK mail service can be at getting international items thru there system there snail speed slow really

So keep the faith I am sure the items will turn up eventually, I once sent an item to a guy in Texas and it took 4 month 2 weeks and 3 day to be exact I actually mailed him a replacement which beat the original package by several months, he was kind enough to send back the second lot when the first lot arrived all be it rather late sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for the lateness of post it is just really really late sadly 8(

Ok peeps I have heard from RF   Apparently there was a death in the family and he has not been in town. He said as soon as he returns he will get it going. Sorry to hear that RF.

Terrible news RF.  Not that there's a good time for that to happen, but Christmas must be especially hard. 

My condolences to you and your Family. 

Thanks for looking into it Steve, you're a good dude.

Oh dear, really don't know what to say, take care, get your family sorted and come back when you can.

Yesterday I got a card from the post office asking me to collect. I'm sure it's my Christmas pool gift. I'm going up Saturday morning to collect. I'll report back!

[Grant Lamontagne]

We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for you!

[turnsouth]

No worries, if Essexman's doesn't make it, or even if they try to squeeze VAT out of him, I've got a little something extra ready for his Christmas stocking.

[Grant Lamontagne]

At this rate it'll have to be an Easter stocking!   

Def

[turnsouth]

The sad thing is that I mailed a package three weeks latter to a place not too far from him and it got there already... 

[tattoosteve99]

So glad to see everything working out. I guess it should have been called thanksgiving to Christmas pool lol.

[Pacu]

nothing in the mail yet here..got a Cheaper than Dirt catalogue, my NRA renewal notice and a Comcast bill.

[tattoosteve99]

Ok I have another update from RF. He emailed me personally to say that he is still not back in town. He will not be back until next Tuesday and will ship then.

[badwolf]

Hopefully when RF gets back home, my package to him will be waiting

[Mercury]

Sounds good!

[Essexman]

What a grand day I've had. Went to the post office first thing and picked up 3 small boxes.

Here's my Christmas gift from Turnsouth



A vey nice camo sheath..........and



A leatherman core, and a minimaglite with LED upgrade plus a tail switch upgrade! My 9yr old has her eyes on the maglite, she likes the purple colour.

He also included the Leatherman sheath



Turnsouth - thank you so much for taking the time and effort in sending overseas. These are far more than I expected. The best part is knowing that when I use them it will bring a smile to my face as I remember where they came from.

cheers

[turnsouth]

Glad you are enjoying it, and glad it finally got there 

[Mercury]

Awesome and generous gift TS!

[Grant Lamontagne]

Nice sheath!  That looks like a Pock-Its XL, a sheath that has been part of my EDC for years.  I have worn that sucker in more bar fights than I care to remember, and it still looks good- there's no holes, no loose threads, no overly worn spots....   it's a good solid sheath.

Def

[Ashley]

That sheath does add a nice touch.

Sent from my Ash forum mobile

[turnsouth]

They are great sheaths Not only great on your belt, but they are the perfect glove box kit.

The only issue I have with them is that I like them too much, and a few years ago I did my thing where I was worried that they might stop making them so I......well you know how I am.
