If I check the tides and currents could one of you float me a bottle over the sea to canada?

Two words....body packing.   :-X

Maybe meet at midnight at the border crossing. I'll wear a white carnation, you wear a short black skirt.  :lol:

Sorry. It must be very frustrating. I know the pain of "Offer only valid in the 48 states." Pretty much everything with free shipping is not free shipping to Alaska.

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

GOOD NEWS.
The test jar arrived perfectly intact.  So I will begin shuttling batches of all the orders through
the Post Office today.  It should take about a week or so before you receive them (longer on
the east coast, shorter on the west coast, just because it's all by ground and the distance from me
is what determines the time).

I would say if you don't get your by Feb 1 and you have paid, feel free to email or PM me so I can look you
up and make sure there are no mistakes.

Thank you to everyone for your patience!

Correction:
19 out of 45 have now been sent. 

One thing I hadn't thought about... trying to mail out dozens of packages
at a postal window, and no, they have no mechanism for handling this!  They just don't want me
to get in line with "too many at a time", whatever that means.

I will just have to go back with batches of them until they all go out.    It will just take a few days.  They will go.

Good thing I don't have, like, 1000 of them to mail.

They have now all been sent except a few I received in the past few days.  Those will go out
early next week.  0

I asked again at a different Post Office:  Absolutely NO on Canada, unfortunately.
(But absolutely YES on Alaska, so that one's on its way!)

Mine arrived today (New England).  Excellent job on the packaging Max - no damage or any trace of leakage!  Now I'll have to make a label for the jar, so 3 years from now I will know that the contents isn't edible (or drinkable).  :D

Between this package and the MR issue with Max's article it was a very good day!   8)

My jar of "Mad Max's Neolube" arrived too. I agree with Pete about the packaging. Love the jar too.

I just used a silver paint marker to write on the lid.

Now to find a use for it...

Max,

Mine arrived yesterday in the mail. Great packaging too I might add!!! Now today to open it up and try some out.

Seeing how tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday, maybe one use would be to use it under your eyes.   :D  Just kidding.  ;) :trollface:

Still waiting on mine to arrive, but I'm certainly not panicking yet.  I look forward to seeing what mess I can make with this stuff.

Thanks for posting arrival updates, guys.  I want to keep track of how the stuff is making it around the country.

I would say if we hit about Feb 5 and you have paid and still not received your jar, alert me by PM and I will start hunting for it.    These all had to go "surface only" which means "parcel post" so I expect it to take about a week to make it to most places, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few got hung up for a little longer.

Dave, yours was mailed on the 22nd, so it should be any day now.

Snow has played havoc with USPS. So much for the old saying......... blah, blah.... But no need for anyone to risk life to deliver a package, or a truckload.
 And more coming to NE :scared:

As Newman would say... "I called in sick..... It's snowing... I don't work in the snow.."

I got mine late last week in Iowa.. arrived safely.. great deal. ~Ian

All:
Looking at the ones that have been delayed, and the tracking info on the ones I have tracking for,
it looks like the east coast ones have been delayed for days, probably because of the snow. 
A few I've checked already that said "expected" delivery was 1/29 are still not delivered.

Just wait a few more days.  Ground delivery is slow and when there is bad weather it is
even slower.

I lucked out with mine. I was right in the middle of 30+ inch snowfall in the Northwest Boston area (snow of epic proportions according to the local weather people) and we have another 15" falling on top of that right now (I'm glad that I don't have to leave my house today).
