I like the Friar's Habit Steam Beer that Capital Craft has, but it is not quite as good as the Hate City one.
Yup, both @JB1987 and @ivc_mixer 's reactions to my screw-up kind of knocked the wind out of my sails. If any beers are owed for this GB, it is to the two of them and @KobusMTL who swooped in to save the day. A special mention to both @M.Adhir who immediately contacted me to offer a contribution towards the additional shipping cost (which I duly declined, my mess) and @adriaanh who also immediately contacted me to offer another small GB to ease the shipping blow.
I am used to working with students who are more entitled than the Red Beret Politicians, so the reactions from members here were a little outside my usual frame of reference. You guys all rock!
It could have been worse, we could have ordered from Clicks.
I'm glad that DHL is still on the ball, manufacturers are really battling to deliver their stuff on time.
You guys will recall the Profile RDTA that @LeislB initially ordered? When we ordered early in August, the Profile was on pre-order with a "Ships on 15 August" (note, not at ETA, but SHIPS ON). Leisl was even worried that the 15 August date would delay the shipment.
Well, @KobusMTL also ordered one and Fasttech STILL haven't received their stock from Wotofo. I personally think that the transport of goods within China must be an absolute mess at the moment.
WoToFo
I wanted a gun metal one....
The only color they have is Gold. So i want to test the a profile. So i got the gold one now
Good morning everyone
What's the latest news? I am super excited

I contacted Wotofo to ask why there was such a huge delay and they replied that they don't supply Fasttech directly. So there must me a middle man at play here for some strange reason.
So no update since yesterday morning's customs clearance event.
Delivery date is still stated for tomorrow on the DHL site though. Looks like I am in for a busy weekend.
Bare with me though, my granddad passed away last night, so I am not sure what my weekend will be like yet.
So very sorry to hear, my condolences to you and family.
My sincerest condolences to you and the family.
Please take your time and focus on the family now first.
So sorry to hear this Johan. Wishing you and your family all the best through this trying time. Im sure I speak for everyone when I say the order can wait...get to it when you have the ability to do so! Strongs bud!
Thank you, good sir.
He was 93 and had been struggling for a number of years (he went practically blind and deaf), with dementia setting in over the last 3 years.
They confirmed Alzheimers when he went to hospital and his throat had essentially calcified, so he would never have been able to eat again. He was an NG Kerk Dominees by trade and had been saying for the last decade that he is waiting for God to fetch him, but God seems to have bigger problems to deal with, so he will keep waiting.
I am glad that his suffering ended peacefully, but it still sucks, I am 35 and he is the first grandparent I have lost.
That is very sad news indeed @CJB85. My sincerest condolences to you and your family during this time and I agree with @Ruwaid and @Cornelius that the GB can wait a bit, you have other things to focus on now.
I am with you, we lost my wife's mother two years ago. She was 90 and although sharp as a button with her mind, her body had withered to a degree that she really was suffering just doing the daily activities of life. She also said it is her time now and when she went into the hospital she let herself go. My wife's Dad is still going at 92.
They live on as long as you do. I lost my Grandad when I was 19. We still laugh at his antics today. 93, what a life he must have had.

I will certainly tend to the GB quickly (will also keep me occupied), I am just not sure if my parents will need me to go somewhere to assist. So providing I am able to be home, it will be business as usual.
very sorry to hear, condolences

Okay, so the parcel is stuck at customs, because Fasttech labelled it as "components" and never attached an itemized invoice.
DHL will send me a blank email and I need to attach the itemized invoice for it to be cleared, or submitted for clearance.
