Captain!

Cool -I got promoted! :D

I ordered 4 mouthpieces of various sizes - mostly for my tenor and bass trombones. (I'm kinda partial to the Wicke mouthpieces for my euph.)

Anyway, I received three of the four. The invoice within the shipping carton said ZERO cost - not even shipping.

Each mouthpiece was sealed in a small plastic bag and packed in a small box, but the boxes were somewhat old. I had the feeling that these might've been tried out once upon a time, and returned, cleaned, resealed, and ready for resale.

My bank statement shows no charges made by WWBW. :shock:

Not sure what's going on. Maybe the charge will show up later.

Perhaps they are trying to save on CC charges by waiting until the "backordered" one ships.

I ordered four (2 in one order, 2 in another). One was evidently not available.
The first package arrived today with the zero bill, BUT my PayPal WAS charged.
The second package evidently is going to consist of only ONE piece, but my PayPal still shows
a bill for TWO pieces...
So, Eupher6, perhaps I am cross-subsidizing you in part. Are you a known deadbeat? :D

Uh oh. :shock:

So far, I've been able to hide my deadbeat status. Thanks for outing me. :oops:

Invoice didn't say anything about backordering the "missing' mpc. Personally, I'm happy with only the three and feel pretty lucky with those, even if the 4th never shows up!

Mine showed up this morning, exactly as ordered. No problems here.

If yours didn't arrive, you could "Buy it now" for $22.99 on eBay...already... :roll:
