Post by IndyTaz »

Yay...it's arrived. I must firstly say thanks to Gio for his outstanding customer service the whole way along this adventure. It's my first whip and boy am I happy.
:D :D :D

Not only did the man stay in contact and go the extra distance for me he also emaild constant progress pics :) So finally when my whip was released by customs I opened it to find he had even signed and dated a card for me to use!! (I intend to matte the progress pics and card in a frame) \:D/

Well here's my pics. I **** at photography. Let's hope I can learn to be a better :whip: and as Erri would say wappa!!!!

Congats. A whip can be great fun. I am glad that you didn't have any import problems as before.

Anyone around you interested in whip cracking. It is a lot of fun to go with some one else and have some one to help with your learning curve. I always have GraveRobberGreg to go along with me and even when we were just starting out, it was great to have someone else there.

Thanks VP! I look forward to seeing some pics of your "Strain."

Gio...a big thanks again to the man who made it possible for me to have some quality merchandise:)

Buff....well It just so happens that we have a whipcracking group in my local area. I intend to rock up at the next meeting to have some lessons. I really don't wanna lose an eye :lol:

Ah @#$%, apparently the guys at Idaho post didn't accept it because they didn't have my phone number. Just emailed it to Joe and asked for a tracking number, let's hope I have it by the end of next week. [-o<

Yay, the whip arrived in Finland yesterday at 7:30 AM. It's now in the customs, I called them and they'll send it from the airport to a nearer post office where I'll pay the customs and taxes and get my package tomorrow.
