Somehow I have missed this thread...doh!  I'll call tomorrow and see if I can still get in.
You can! Just make sure you call between 9 AM and 2 PM OUR TIME. And prepare to be on hold - a long time. Skyway gets back on the 8th so he'll need your check PDQ.
Hmmm... I called, left my phone number, and Jack called me back about 5 minutes later...

now to send Ian a check tomorrow...

the only thing is figuring out whether to pay Ian for shipping or take a ride to his house to get it...<BG>

Escort will ship it straight to you.
"Escort will ship it straight to you."

Jack said that when he talked to you, he didnt' realize that the orders were for all over the country...

He thot is was for a group that all lived in one area....and shipping was to one address...

That is what he told me yesterday (Mar 6)

Ok, anyway, you guys figure it out... That's what you get the big bucks for, right! <BG>

AAAUUUGGGHHH! Oh well, a great excuse for a twisty little romp up Hwy 49! Quick Tim, grab that camera!

Strange, then I wonder why he asked for my shipping address?

I called Jack today to discuss this. I am waiting for his reply to the shipping situation.

 
Yeah, Jack said something about taking my address even though he probably didn't need it. I said that I thought he was going to ship directly to us. He said that the details still had to be worked out with SKYWAY. Hopefully SKYWAY will work it out with Jack so that he doesn't have to package and re-ship all the units.

In my experience with mail order, many times the packages come damaged in transit. If the unit has to ship twice then there are two opportunities for the shippers to screw up.

There will be no mass shipping of units to me, then re-distribution to you guys.

I am confident Escort will do the right thing.

That's because this offer is supposed to include free freight to all from Escort, as I understand it.

 
During my conversation with Jack today he made the same remarks as above regarding shipping. So I asked him WTF would I have everyone call in with their order and address if you were not going to ship out the units. I would have simply called you and asked to purchase 15 or so radar detectors at a discount. This isn't rocket science here, for crying out loud.

The conversation ended along the lines of, 'if you don't ship them, I don't want them.'

So now I'll wait til Friday until some bigger than Jack cheese makes the final call.

 
Great. This deal just shit the bed... <_< Thanks for the effort Ian, but this don't look good. Oh, well. That's the way the speeding ticket happens!
