Jerry and Walt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for letting this out to the list, I hope this will help on our end because we need as much help as we can get........Cecile and myself just cannot understand why it would take so long for some of these packages?? Instead of answering loads and loads of emails for the whereabouts of goods this time could be better spent on moving the goods through the doors, this would also free us up more for our buying trips...................In turn more offerings coming to market. There are ''TONS!'' of places that we would like to make another pass at for certain items, at times months and months will pass with no visit to these sources. When we do get the chance, many times we end up being a day late or at times minute and hours. One source does have 4 to 5 hundred Panto stems, GIOS, COLNAGO, OLMO......and so on. I'm sure many list members would jump at the chance to get a $ 25.- Panto stem. But instead they are sitting and waiting for their day..................Or what about $ 20.- 36 hole MAVIC tubular rim sets, of which we all know 36 hole rims are in big demand. Of couse I've seen in the past a few other French sellers trying to sell these for well over $ 75.- pp. Not so rare down there, they can be and are had for roughly $ 7.- pp. There are many different models that could be had for $ 20.-, of course no SSCs can be had for this price. Better yet I'm sure many of you would jump at the chance to receive a ''BRAND NEW!'' Dura Ace EX Super Champion Arc-en-ciel tubular wheel set for $ 40.-..........There's also Fiamme red label and Egals as well, you bet the same price of $ 40.-..........But no time to go out to make these deals, of course there is also a lot of $$$ involved as well. So during the days we do what we can and when the kids are sleeping then I can get on with the workload of the warehouse. Yes if you know the time difference then yes I am pushing onto 6:00AM! So..................Do please get the word out, we are doing everything we can. But once the packages are in the hand of the Postal service it's totally up to them.

Just blowing some wind,

BC
Baron C.....................And the gang!!
