Yes I tried but icq is giving me a "waiting for authorization" message. Not too important I suppose. As far as shipping goes I honestly have no idea...I just paid what I was told to pay.
For the record I'm definitely *not* trying to slander his good name or create bad blood at all.
I think this project is amazing and even if I never received the item I can still rest easy knowing that I supported a great idea, which was half the reason I wanted one in the first place so it's not a total loss.
