Regarding K3 Order Changes

[Corboy - Poteet]

For those of you who may be interested, I sent the following query to
Lisa at Elecraft:


I apologize for adding to your load but I have a quick question.

I have an order in place for a K3.

I would like to make changes to my order.

Should I wait for a notice from Elecraft that my order is about to
ship and inquiring whether I have changes to make?

OR, should I go ahead (now) and tell you the changes I wish to make to
my order?




Lisa's  response:


Thank you for your inquiry.

The earlier the better for changes.

You can just email them to me and I can acknowledge that we have
received them.

Prior to shipment we will then email you copy of your invoice so that
you can confirm all items. It helps us to know as soon as possible so
that we can have the items you want when we ship.

Thank you,

Lisa Jones

Rather than add to Lisa's load I'll first ask here ....

Has anyone inquired about paying the balances that
many / most of us will owe when the K3's are ready
to ship?

I'm under the impression that a CC # used for the initial
deposit is NOT kept on file and therefore she'll need a
CC # to cover the balance.  

Perhaps we'll all get an e-mailed invoice with everything
listed that will serve to confirm that we're being sent what
we ordered.

Maybe this is a question for Eric or Wayne to answer ...

Also Elecraft will need to know the shipping method for those who placed
a deposit.

(Eric/Lisa) Can you advise us how we proceed?

We will be contacted by Lisa - until we hear something then there's nothing
to worry about. In my case I did not pay by credit card.

I wouldn't mind some guidance on which method is best to choose for
shipping to the UK. I know that this has been discussed before but I
don't recall it resulting in a clear recommendation.

I can't even remember what's on my order now, and there was some
question about substituting other roofing filters for the default one.

I'd like to know what's the best way of finding what we've got
ordered, so we can change that order if desired.

Both FedEx and USPS have worked well for me this year for material sent from
the States. If Elecraft uses these shippers and Lisa (Elecraft) gives you a
"Tracking number" you can follow the shipment on-line. The part of the
journey which takes most time in my experience is from the UK port of entry
to Scotland which is handled by Parcel Force, e.g. 3 days from the West
Coast USA to the UK, 5 working days from England to Scotland. Once the
shipment has cleared UK Customs and with the tracking number to hand, the
Parcel Force depot from which the shipment will be delivered to you can be
contacted by 'phone, and any chages owing can be paid by bank or credit
card. If the Parcel Force depot is not named, Parcel Force will send you a
letter containing this information and the depot's 'phone number.

Not sure if it's the best method....but a telephone call worked for me (g)

Thanks. I opted for USPS. I still had my order acknowledgement email,
so I was able to use the link to send Elecraft updated credit card
information, and add a note updating my ordered items.

Now we just need those parts suppliers to get their act together!

US Postal Service Express Mail International, at 3 - 5 days looks the best to me.
You can check via their web site for delivery times, etc.
The UPS option offers 2 - 5 business days at twice the price!

Perhaps Eric might find some live bagpipe music useful to wake up his
suppliers :-)

Are you sure it's the right time to inflict strange and unusual punishment on
the vendors?  Perhaps before the pipes Eric could try something a bit more
civilized...like bamboo splints under the nails, water boards, and coating them
with honey and hanging over ant hills.

If those simple measures don't work...then the pipes may be in order.

US Post (packages) has always taken longer for me but this may be beyond their
area of responsibility, i.e. the European side of the pond.

I'll likely use UPS because they come to our company every morning anyways.

I'm more worried about whether the kit will reach me by the first of October;
silly, stupid, evil, misbegotten, horrid, ignoble, sleazy, slatternly, ribald,
cheeky, impudent, uppity, snooty, contemptuous, *******, ******, <bleeb>,
<bleeb>, <bleeb> missing part vendors.

I'll be away for most of October (Montenegro for WAG and CQWW-SSB among other
places). I may have to ask Elecraft to wait until I'm back home in November.

Yes....I know.  I was wondering what comments I might receive from folks who
favor the "interesting" sound of bag pipes.  Actually, it's not that bad, though
I favor the Italian pipe music.

Perhaps Eric could force the vendors to listen to Opera...now that would be true
punishment!

No it wouldn't - well I suppose it depends on the opera and whether the singers
can sing or not....

Ah....since I have no couth, culture or appreciation of the finer points of
music, most times it reminds me of cats fighting.

It appears that the bamboo splits may be the best option for the vendors.

Bagpipes!

How do you make a chain saw sound like bagpipes?  Add vibrato.

Why do pipers walk while they play?  To get away from the sound.

What's the difference between a bagpipe and an onion?  Nobody cries when
you chop up a bagpipe.

What's the difference between a bagpipe and a trampoline?  You take your
shoes off when you jump on a trampoline.

A man with a set of bagpipes in the back seat of his car stopped in
front of the bank in down town NY City.  While in the bank, he
remembered he forgot to lock his car.  Fearing the worst, he rushed back
to his car but it was too late.  Someone had already put another set of
bagpipes into the vehicle.

As a piper, I don't know if I should take exception to this suggestion...
For the sake of good reflector relations I'll assume that you are referring
to the voluminous, rousing tones of this ancient instrument and not to an
opinion that the bagpipe often sounds like a screeching cat. :-)
