NAMM is over...yea! (I had to ship some Euro modules before NAMM started).

a) ordering the custom 5U panels for the RR Edition of the E350 tomorrow. I
expect to ship the 2nd week of Feb. Start saving your $$$, those that
ordered.

b) alternating day-by-day between Euro & MOTM backlog. Spent this weekend on
assembled modules.

c) reminder!! If you want a 'tracking number', you ∗MUST∗ use the EMS option
when you order. The is especially true for Italy, France and Germany! Their
customs office is more than likely to hold packages for duty/VAT than the
UK. I have a case pending now that it appears an order to Italy sent Oct. 30
has not been delivered. This was sent 'regular mail' so all we can do is
hope that it's on a shelf waiting for duty to be paid.

I can also ship Fed-Ex (not UPS, they are a HUGE PAIN for me) just as
easily. NOTE: just get a free account. I sent 16 pounds (~6kg) to the UK via
Fed-Ex. It cost the receiver $94 and they got it in 2 days. 'Regular mail'
would take at least 10 days and cost about $68. This was for a $3200 order.
I would think a 1% adder to have it tracked and delivered in 2 days is worth
it, but that's just me.
