Just to let everyone know what is going on:
1) As Chris stated they were supposed to have been shipped on the 22nd, the girl at our bank (who often does this), made a mistake on the name of the Payee, off by one letter. The bank refused to release the funds in China even though the acct number was correct : (
2)Being out of town I couldn't tend to this right away but when I finally got hold of a bank manager they corrected the wire which was good because I couldn't sign for a new wire transfer, beign out of town.
3)In the meantime, MIT told me, after all of our loyalty and making that product what it is in the USA, they shipped our order to someone else, etc. Besides being infuriating and the fact they just could have shipped the product as they are our oldest supplier (something someone in the USA would have done) this illustrates to you guys what we are up against at times..
4)So after getting the correct payment over they delayed another day saying we owed an extra 40.00 bank fee. Yes, this is a true story.
....
5)The good news is, WE have a solid shipped-on-the-plane ending here. It is coming Express and should be in the states by end of the week, customs not withstanding. BUT IT IS already released and we have tracked it to Hong Kong the last step before it crosses over to NYC. (as a side note their original tracker was changed but I checked the new tracker and its good and solid)
