The long wait continues...

What was supposed to be a 5-6 week wait to receive my UFO Zeus handle has turned into 11 weeks and counting. Juan told me that the new lead time is 10-12 weeks. At least it's been shipped but the tracking website doesn't update very often. :whistle:

Re: New Georgetown Pottery G5 scuttle

Thanks. I guess that occasionally there's a benefit to being polite when something goes wrong with a purchase! Really, they were so nice at GP that it was impossible to be upset. Frustrated yes but upset? Life's too short.
