Ultimate 4U 500mm Chassis - Who is interested?

[gary s]

Good to hear you got your chassis, mine are still sitting in Milan waiting for an international flight with EMS!

Typical carriers, no care and no responsibility, at least you can hide the mark - the box must have had a decent ding in it.

You're not alone gary s.

I'll be they're waiting for when they can jag a cheap slot of freight space. I do remember reading Gianluca noting that EMS are slow, especially out our way.

Great to see that you're brimming with enthusiasm to get into it. Nice.

@gary s,

Hope you chassis gets to you pretty soon. One short corner of the box was torn open. Had to use a hand truck to get those heavy buggers from the front porch to the back room. All of my boards are populated. Just need to get going on the build (F6). I have a couple of honey do projects in line as well.

 

[gary s]

I have all the parts with boards half done, so by the time the chassis do make it here, I will right to go.

 

[Gianluca]

Thanks for the feedback Bill, sorry to hear about this. Mind sharing some pictures to get a better idea?


I am wondering if the package fell someho considering one of the corners was damaged

 

[32y0]

Mine is waiting for me to be picked up from the post office. That was quicker than I expected!

 

[gary s]

Well, you are fortunate that is an unbelievable delivery time to Melbourne.

 

[Gianluca]

I am just as suprised as you guys considering when we ship to countries like Russia with EMS it never takes less than 15-18 days

 

[gary s]

32y0 must have paid bribe money to someone, good luck to him.

Did you look at the tracking 32y0 on Aust Post - i am just wondering if the tracking is not working properly. Mine still sows as being in Milan, looking for a plane.

 

[astromo]

... and that's not a one off ... I'm seeing the same tracking advice.

@Gianluca,

Sent the requested pictures of the damaged panels and box bu responding to your info email. I couldn't get my cell phone picture files downsized to use as an attachment for a response here. Regards, HeyBill

 

[gary s]

astromo, you can also see tracking details on Aust Post - same info but in English.

 

[32y0]

That's correct gary. I had to check with Auspost where they left it for pickup, because it didn't show on the SDA.it one.

Edit: Just picked it up, perfectly packed as usual. On first quick inspection everything looks great. Thanks Gianluca, Pico and everyone else to make this happen.

 

[Gianluca]

AusPost website only works with the tracking numbers Gary And Hayo have received. It should start with "EB..." but for some reason I don't know only Astronomo's was not like that and it can only be tracked on SDA website.


Anyway here is the english version of the website so you track it from here Tracing LDV

[gary s]

That is an unusual way of getting hold of the chassis pico.Do you still have to get it to Oz or are you moving over there?

 

[32y0]

Awesome.

Oh wow, better get married soon indeed!

Some more pictures.

 

[gary s]

Looking good, you are not mucking around I see.

32y0,

Nice pics and that's a lot of room inside the chassis! Have fun with your projects!

Thanks for that but I can handle a bit of Italiano. After all, my road bike is kitted out with a Campagnolo group set.

And the good news is, I'm seeing this status update:

Date and time | Processing status | Location
10-02-2021 09:28 | Shipment in transit | Australia

So, there's been movement at the station, it's just that the word hadn't gotten round.
