Ordered my 1'st Reo on April 3, 2014. Not checking the correct USPS shipping method I thought it was lost/stolen after 1 week no show. I anxiously emailed Rob at Reosmods, telling him about my predicament that the order is stuck at New York since April 6 according to the track & trace website. After a further phone call from South Africa to Rob I realised that I've ticked the standard flat rate instead of express shipping option. Another couple of weeks went by and I wrote it off as a bad shipping experience due to my overeager ordering. I decided to place another order, this time I tripple checked that USPS EXPRESS shipping option has been ticked.

While following the 2'nd order meticulously, I received a slip from my local South African post office to please come and collect a parcel. Low and behold the 1'st order arrived, what a nice surprize, and the next one already cleared South African customs and are enroute to be delivered.

The parcel that I thought was lost/stolen:

Now I just need to get the door cnc engraved, foiled/coloured to match the brass:

I will name this 1'st Reo Os an Afrikaans word for ox

I'm one happy chappie

Johan, welcome to Reoville. Happy that that first Reo arrived in ZA for you. Here's your official Reonaut badge. ID you wear it you get free biltong at the register where ever you buy it. Just make sure they see it. Was Maythee (Andre) responsible for you getting a Reo? Big day in South Africa yesterday. Here's your badge.

Thanks for the warm welcome to Reoville everybody!

Itrainer LOL; wearing that shiny badge will give me more than just free biltong here in South Africa. Yes it's obviously Andre Matthee, he is rocking us all here locally into all the need-to-know regarding Reos. Thanks for the badge Itrainer, I will wear it proudly.

Thanks super_X_drifter I definitely hear her sing in her messo suprano voice: "Life is good"

DoogieTony I will take you up on that kind offer, thanks.

So happy you'll wear your badge proudly because these badges cost me lots of rand but I think its a good sacrifice to make for the fellow Reonauts even if I go hungry for a day or two. Where in South Africa are you. My daughter is in Haut Bay. heres a photo of Andree on one of his camping trips.
