CT_Solstice and Hammer Down, I do not know what to say.
Joe's place is not that far from either one of you, so why it would take 3 more days I am not sure.
ALL the shipments were made through FEDEX Ground, yours as well as CT_Solstice went out on Thursday the 18th. RED Powder Coating
Imaj and others were shipped on Wednesday the 17th. (Silver powder coating)
I know there are a couple that went to CA.

Agreed. I am not worried about the shipping. I always seem to be waiting for the bills and such. It is the teamsters or something in that area. Everything passes through the main terminal in NYC. The only vendor I have any luck with is Poorboys but that is because they are only 35 miles from my front door. LV you have put out a great product. I am truely looking forward to installing it but you cannot rush perfection and quality. I could wait another month if it meant it was done it correct the first time.

There was no slander to you on shipping. Just an observation on how "organized" new england is when it comes to things like the postal service, deliveries, oil service, electricity, etc.

My cost of living went up by 35% moving from VA to CT. The current cost of gas is 3.17 a gallon in CT, 2.86 in NJ/MD/DE, and 2.46 a gallon in VA.

That was my only point. Delivery on the 23rd is great! Works for my 4 days off from the military. I am looking forward to this install!!!

Yes, the Powder Coating company did a great job on the RED ones.
The Silver ones are also well done, but the RED really stands out.

PS: There is one SILVER left from the last order for someone that would like to get one.

I bet is Joe lets Jr take his sol for a spin. With your front brace installed. He'll be you next customer  :thumbs:

What do you say Joe, that would be #3, Christmas is just around the corner. ;) :thumbs: :cool:

Today should be the day... My LVFCB should be at the house when I get home from work. Let the modding begin!!!

LV, I will take her out this weekend once I get the bar installed. I have some mountain roads that I frequent and should be able to give you some feedback soon.

Ilias,
It would be cost prohibited to send this LVKFCBrace to Greece.
If someone in the forum knows of a cheap way to send it over seas, please let me know.

Ilias,
I went to Fedex and put the information to ship the LVKFCBrace to Greece.
I do not believe you are in Athens but just to show you how expensive it is to go to Europe from the USA.
PLease see below.   From: Wellington, 33414, United States | To: Athens, 10400, Greece on November 23, 2010.          


    
2. Package and Shipment Details
 Help     Edit     
     Package Details: 1 package, 6.00 lbs, Your Packaging, 36 in x 4 in x 4 in, 100.00 USD.      

 
    
3. Product / Commodity Description

As you can see the delivery price is a lot more than what the LVKFCBrace is worth.

Melissa,
Before I say YES, let's wait on Ilias to see what he wants to do, although base on the shipping quote I do not think he will want it.

LV try the post office.  I have found them to be very economical to ship over seas.  FedEx and UPS like to add a brokerage fee which ends up being astronomic.  The weight probably won't be a big deal but rather the length of the box.

LV,

I was going to suggest the same thing.  I have shipped to Kelu and it wasn't really that expensive (about 10 bucks) but was very different size / shape.

Still might be more than Ilias would like to pay....

Looks like if it were to ship USPS the fee, if not paid online would be about $43.25.

Thanks Sly Bob,
Still almost half of the price of the LVKFCBrace.
I would still need his specific address to be sure.
