Shipping is Imminent (I hope)

Astro-Physics "assaulted" my credit card overnight. I'm hoping I get an e-mail tonight saying that my new mount has shipped.

It's going to be a long week or two waiting for this to ship across the Pacific!

Thanks Chris,

I picked up a mounting plate from a fellow in Brisbane who had ordered an AP mount at one stage, but then called it off.

So I already have the rings bolted to the mounting plate, just waiting for the mount to arrive!

Cheers

David, the assault on the "fantastic plastic HQ" may have been rather heavy but taking the financial casualties for a good AP mount is well worth it

Got a shipping note this morning... Should be here next week - let's hope it doesn't take too long to clear customs!

Had two calls from UPS today - one to pay the GST (something for Kevin & Wayne I guess) and one to confirm what exactly the package was??? I suppose a "Mach1GTO" could mean different things to different people...

The tracking thing on the web tells me it's arrived in Sydney! Fortunately I'm working most of the weekend, so delivery next week won't be a problem.
