    I'll save one (or more) for you Mike. Glad you are better.

    Thanks, what a difference! As far as the cars, it'll be at least 2.

    Yep been there done that with PayPal as well. Same thing linked it to another account, let the deposits get made and it was all set. The big thing is trying to keep it all straight down the road. I get mixed up all the time by which account is linked to which account!

    I have a folder at home now with all of the information for future use. :)

    30 cars are now shipped folks. I realize that is not a massive amount but it is slow to make boxes and keep it all together and double check that you have the right amount of cars in the right box, etc.

    The next two days are going to be tough as far as my work schedule but I will be able to get some out, just not 30 per day unfortunately. Hopefully I will have a day within the next few days where I can do a whole bunch in one day.

    Thanks again everyone.

    It's good also see that, with the addition of a photo of the model, more orders are coming in. It'd be nice to see these sell out!

    Charlie, Don't kill yourself. As much as I know we're all looking forward to getting fingerprints all over these, I don't think anyone will keel over if they don't all ship right away.

    I'm going to do the best I can to get them out quickly because when I order something waiting on it to arrive drives me nuts.

    Folks,

    I got 10 more cars out today. That doesn't seem like much and I apologize but there are few hours in the day for me. I do have days off work coming up soon and I should be able to knock out a bunch then. Once the government furloughs me from my job in two to three weeks I will have all kinds of time. No money, but plenty of time.

    Charlie, I haven't seen anybody screaming to get their car. You seem to be pushing hard on this. Again everything is still ahead of the schedule and although I am sure everyone is excited to get their car, the anticipation is part of the thrill. I hate to see anyone pushing this hard for fun. My boss is very fond of saying "we're not saving lives here" and that is very true for this as well. It's just a hobby relax and enjoy it.

    While I'm eager to get my cars, I'm also in no major hurry for them!
    One quick question I have:
    Are cars being mailed out in the same order in which they were received?
    Maybe by the time mine arrive, I'll have the HCD in place and something
    temporary up, so I can grab a photo or two!

    I knew someone was going to ask that.

    Yes, and no. I did not know that the "print shipping label" button expires off of orders in PayPal after so many days. I still am not sure how many. So, I am working from two places. 1) the oldest orders, and 2) orders in which the button is closed to expiring. If the "print shipping label" button expires from an order I have to manually input your information (which I am doing for mahy orders) and it takes longer.

    I am learning a few lessons in this process that will streamline it next time.

    No Rush

    I'm with the others too...

    I will enjoy adding the car into my collection but there is no reason for you to kill yourself getting it shipped

    Ok guys, today and tomorrow are my days off work. I have some things I have to do around the house for my wife but I am going to do those things as quickly as I can so that I will have time to pack boxes. By tonight, I hope to have that "shipped" number higher. The boxes will go out first thing in the morning of course, and then I plan on doing more tomorrow.
