*Stares at boxes again....stares at Fed Ex Truck longingly* Well....he managed to bring me the motor! That was it! ;D ;D ;D ;D Also, got in some slabs I won at auction on ebay. I think it was a good price....roughly $22 including shipping for about 60 pieces of plume agate, petrified and pet wood slabs. (maybe a few others I don't recognize) Will try and photograph...they really are beautiful! *sighs* Fed Ex shows the other 2 boxes sitting since 4am on Oct. 5th in their warehouse in Norcross, GA. (this is only about 25 miles away as the crow flies) I didn't realize rock would "force" me to be patient! Sheesh!

Aww man, can't you drive down there and pick them up? That just bites!! But ok, be glad to look at your slabs. ;D [glow=red,2,300] ~ Cher ~[/glow] pages.prodigy.net/bestsmileys1/signs/RockOn.gif [/img] PS. Was that from just one auction or several combined?

First taste of patience, or lack there of. It gets better ;D That does sound like a good price for the slabs considering the shipping is so high. WTG!

WOW Looks to me like you got a great deal. None of the auctions I've looked at had that many slabs in them. Good job Helen, great find!!

I am glad you got your goodies. My wife ordered 1500$ worth of wholesale pearls. UPS delivered the package. We waited four weeks and finally went to check on the order. The UPS guy had thrown the package in the swamp next to our old house in Punta Gorda. The invoice showed delivery. We have learned to get all deliveries shipped PIPUD. Personal identification present upon delivery. We also knew a few FEDEX drivers there. Shivers indeed. The pearls were undamaged, and now all deliveries are PIPUD. No further problems, although the drivers got a little impatient untill they got to know us. Congrats, way cool, and good cutting, slabbing, polishing and putting your touch to what you see. I hope you will be able to post, I want to see your work.
