Location: Illinois, U.S.A. | Here, too .... UPS, the different colored truck. I have to sign for some paint they're delivering for a neighbor from Sears, AND my new classical guitar is arriving for ME from California, hopefully on the same truck. "Out for delivery ..." could be a seed line for a lyric, couldn't it?
I typed in the screen name, and what did I see?
A pop-up saying, "Out for delivery."

Location: South of most, North of few | OK, I guess I'll join in too. My 1614 is coming back tomorrow from a trip to the O spa.
UPS, so I hope it gets here in one piece. |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Well I got my Deacon 12 string and Preacher Deluxe from the US via USPS/Fedex today. The anticipation was somewhat tempered by the $479 duty and Customs charges, not to mention the original $390 shipping cost. They are however both immaculate so I'm still happy. :) |

Location: East Tennessee | Finally arrived at 5:55 PM. I was on my way to play at church so my wife waited for it.
I'm glad to say it arrived safely. The only problems I see are it is strung incorrectly, saddle is back wards and it is filthy dirty. It does look like the bridge has been reglued some time ago.
Those problems will be taken care of tomorrow. Even with old strings this guitar sounds like a cannon. :cool: Trader Jim was right.
S/N puts it at 1975. I will put it on Tupperwares page tomorrow. Got to go do something nice for the wife. :D |

Location: South of most, North of few | Just got the "Out for delivery" notice on the oops website this morning for mine. Now I have to race the UPS guy to my house today after work and try to get there first, or I'll have to go to the depot tonight to get it. |
