Here's the response to my fax (yes..a telefax. Interesting how outdated technologies are still embraced by our postal service!):

Mr. Smuder:

We will continue to look for this parcel; however, it is most likely that either:

1) the Processing & Distribution Facility in Little Rock correctly routed the parcel to North Little Rock, AR; or
2) the item has already been returned to you marked as undeliverable as addressed.

Rest assured that if we find the parcel we will mark the correct Zip Code and forward to NLR.

So... having had unparalleled success in getting THIS response, I'm going to fax the post office in Little Rock and see what they can tell me.

Any more info? This is growing old. ;)

Uh Gordon???
Anybody home?
What you still taking a holiday vacation? :D

I faxed the Distribution Center in Little Rock. No response.

I went to the USPS website this morning and filed a complaint/plea for help. But considering the convoluted nature of their website, I'll be actually surprised if what I sent to them gets to the right person.

I am acutely aware of the situation and getting more than a little concerned since the package was originally sent on June 6th... almost exactly one month ago.

I will check again with my local post offices to see if the box hasn't shown up. I suggest you do the same.

Less than a minute after receiving THAT email, I got a phone call from MY post office near my house. The fellow advised me to fill out a Trace Form (1510) to get the post office all the info and make sure they were "officially" looking for it. He also checked HIS pile of return packages and found nothing.

Ahhh.. beauraucracy (sp?) is a lovely thing, isn't it?

Well, at least there's an information flow. How useful it will be is questionable, but at least it's something.

I'm on the way right now to get one of these forms. :mad:

54 resin castings, two silicone molds, three original scratch-build molding patterns.

That's what you'll have to list as contents. The package was 4 lbs. 2 oz. I paid $9.80 to ship it priority mail on 06/09/2006 at 12:07:42 pm.

I got ya, and I'm on it. :salute:

Hi everyone :)

I'm a newbie here. Finally got around to posting finally. Been alot of stuff going on. Mostly annoying. Like phoneline troubles :( And when your using dialup, that can be a problem :(

Great place here. I look forward to checking out the rest of it :)

And hey Mike :)

JC :colonial:

Hiya JC! Welcome aboard....just sign in for your uniforms and get assigned a viper....sorry they only come in grey.

Keep us updated Micheal.....Hope things work out.

Hi J.C.! When I get caught up, I'll call you.
Now then Viper 04......What this about GREY uniforms???? :wtf:
This is completely wrong. Uniforms are earth tones and shiny brass thingies! With this symbol on the shoulder :colonial:
Okay, now that class has begun, will talk to Gordon soon, and update you all.
Prey to the Lords of Kobol that all is well. :salute:

SHIPS... the SHIPS come in gray. Not the uniforms.

Note to all: I have filled out the 1510 form and will be hand delivering it to the post office today at lunchtime.

-G

Grey???

Hey Mike :) Look forward to hearing back from ya :) If you can't reach me by phone, then either pm me here or e-mail me.

JC :colonial:

Form 1510 delivered to Post Office.

Can't wait to see what the reply is.

-G

Been several days. No word yet. No contact. Waiting patiently....


-Gordon

Its a curse. That's what it is.

I broke my cardinal rule. I made molds for someone.

That's it.

This is punishment for breaking my own rules.

Gotta be.

-G

Hey Gordon.
Nah...it's no curse, maybe on the part of the postal service, but you're cool. :salute:

Its Satan! I tell you.....he's at it again!

I say we sic Eddie on them!

One pic of me and a friend that has made this Viper project possible.
It is great to call Tom DeSanto one of my best friends! Everytime we met, he hugged me like a long lost brother. We hung out and he gave me all the instruction I need to really succeed in my line of work. Thanks Tom!

Hey Mike :)

Cool, you got to go :) That is Comic-Con 2006 right? If so, who all else did you get to meet? I hope Tom still has interest with Battlestar.

By the way Mike, did you get that last e-mail I sent? If you didn't, let me know and I'll try and e-mail you again.
