Airbore Indiana Express

Post by Dr.ClarkJones »

8:00am: It was a normal day, much like any other cold Febuary day. I had the day off work and my mom tells me that FedEx tried to deliver a package and left a slip on the gate keypad. I thought nothing of this, probally being one of my mom's home shopping network purchases. I happen to look at the slip when I noticed it wasn't from FedEx, but Airborne. But hey, it wasn't supposed to be here yet, right? Wrong. About this time I get a call and it is the Airbore guy. He tried to get in yesterday but no one was here to open the gate. I told him I would leave it open for him today. I am glad that they deliver the very next day instead of me having to pick it up or wait 2 day. The guy was really nice... Reasuring, after hearing some stories about Airborne. Anyway, I guess what I am saying is that I am pleased with Airbore/DHL and Wested... Now lets hope it fits!

Now all you have to do is wait for the PBB Global bill. That will be your
second surprise.....

It's been over a month and I still haven't gotten mine. I don't think. I didn't know to expect it until I saw something on the board here about it. Maybe I threw it away with the junk mail and didn't even know it.

Oh, you don't have to worry about that. If you threw it away, they will
keep sending you the bill until you pay it. And then if you don't, they
will threaten legal action against you, and tell you that they will ruin
your credit.

One way or another, you WILL get the bill. Some people have said it
took over a month and a half to get it, but it does eventually come
if you live in the United States.

Now, if you live in Canada, or somewhere else, it does seem to be
hit or miss as to whether they send you their bill.

In my case, Flathead, it was a hit after nearly 3 months!

I just got my bill the other day :S

Just opened the package up and the jacket fits like a glove. Yeah, I can't wait to get that customs bill. Maybe they will forget about it. Then again, maybe not.

About the jacket:

I decided to get guessets and i really can't tell too much of a difference from any other jacket I have w/o them. I really like the weight of the goat. It is pretty warm and seems to be pretty tough. I will try to get some pics up if I get a chance.

Congrats on your new Wested. I'm waiting on an Authentic Goat myself.
BTW, How long ago did you order yours? I'm going on my second week since ordering, and waiting anxiously. [-o<

I ordered mine on December 30th. I guess that nothing was done until January.... so a little over a month. I sent them an e-mail last week and they told me it was going to be at least 10 more days. I missed the delivery on the 9th day.

I had a quick question too if anyone could help: Will the auth. goat shrink any from normal wear? I know the sleeves will ride up but what about the rest of the jacket?
