I sent you those Reynolds valve caps on October 3rd. When did you receive them?

You must have sent them via "Express Mail"...(??)

------------------------------

sincere thanks, btw!
Actually... they were sent 1st class postage and should have been there no later than LAST Thursday! Maybe the FEDS though those little round things were some sort of contraband. Duh!

I sent a valve section to Anderson on the same day and haven't gotten the return receipt back yet. Hell... Elkhart is only five hours north of here. For that matter... you are only about 3 1/2 hours south.

I have an honest question:

How reliable is Greyhound for small packages in the US. Up here, greyhound/local bus companies are really great for that kind of stuff ( especially when going from city to city where routes exist) As a matter of fact, I recently received a tuba in four business days. (It had to travel approximately 2000 miles)

I STILL don't have that return receipt. But don't panic just yet. I'll email Anderson momentarily.
