The delivery guy just delivered 22 large boxes full of pen shipping tubes to my office!

They'll go home with me today and over the weekend I'll get the order counted, broken down, re-boxed, and ready to ship out on Monday.

I'll send emails out to everyone to let you know how much your order come to.

If you haven't emailed your shipping address to me, please do so pretty quick.

Thanks!

Ever wondered what 8500 pen tubes look like? They take up a lot more room than I thought they would!!

Here's a photo before I started counting . . .

Boy am I TIRED! I started counting, sorting, boxing, and taping about about noon today. My wife and our exchange student helped me, plus Joe Green ( a lurker on these forums!! ) drove down from north Fort Worth and helped - THANKS JOE!!! - altogether, I figure that it took close to 16 man hours to get to this stage:

Here's what I am going to do . . . If I have your address (see other new thread) I'm mailing your box out on Monday. The tubes arrived but the invoice was sent by a separate letter so I don't have a clue as to the cost of shipping to me right now.

Plus, rather than drag 31 boxes to the post office to find out the shipping cost and then take them back home - only to take them BACK to the post office when I get the shipping money, I'm gonna trust ya! I'm shipping them out and will let you know the cost when I get all the figures in.

Remember, gang, I'M TRUSTIN' YA!! My wife wasn't thrilled that I spent the $ on this project anyway so if I have to eat any of this . . . I'm sending her to live WITH YOU!!!

And we did our best to be as accurate as possible in the counting. If it's not right - BLAME JOE GREEN!!! If it's not right, let me know and we'll work it out.

OK, I'm outta here . .

Thanks!
