Seems the free drop shipping has (will end) ended. Nat has told me that once this batch has gone out, all items will come to me to then ship to you guys. So, since I'm of very limited discretionary funds these days...(retirement - great hours, lousy pay), I'll have to ask the requestors to pay all or part of the shipping from Louisville KY to your little corner of paradise. Normally, this runs $8 to $15 or so..normally. Given that many of the kits are upwards of $30 to $50 or more, it is still a bargain.

Yes, Thomas and Mostrich - still have yours and Stik - got one you requsted the other day. I'll get those out after payday.

Just PM me the sum and your PayPal address and I sent you advance payment. No need to touch your benefit for this, Lyle!

Likewise... and in summer 2020, I'll join you on that retirement hours & income. I am pretty close to being officially old anyways: adult children, check; bifocals, check; hearing aids, check; old men organization memberships (Masons, American Legion, AARP), check... :writing: where does the time go... :hmm:

Totally fine with that as well Lyle if something comes along for me- sending it to you PayPal seems to work best...

Sounds OK to me. I'm still amazed that they are willing to give us kit to review.

Thanks guys. Guess what? We paid off our car this month. First time in many many years with no car payment. Guess what else. It needs tires. Sigh. Can't really complain, thoug. Got about 90K miles on these.

Okay, Nat tells me we may be able to "play the system" a bit. I can give her some names, and she will simply set them up as accounts - thus she can then ship,. I'll probably make some unilateral decisions based on the most frequent flyers on the kits. Seems we only have 4-6 folks mostly. Others can still come through me.

Yeah, it is nice to get the freebies. Especially being able to choose.
