My Supratek Chenin is Shipping Monday


After a wait of 2 months and 4 days, Mick tells me the Chenin will be ready to ship on Monday. Yeeaahh! It's piano black and chrome, with remote volume and HT bypass. To anyone who has bought from Supratek, how long did it take to ship to the US, and did you have any problems in customs?
Guess I need to get cracking on the turntable build I'm doing! Can't wait to hear vinyl again after so many years of CDs.

It only takes a few days via FEDEX - but be prepared for it to languish in customs clearance in Anchorage UNLESS your SS# is included in the shiping documents. Ask Mick to make sure your SS# is on the shipping manifest.

Congratulations! You are in for a great ride.
Congratulations! You are very lucky, the Cabernet I bought last year took over 11 months. It also is piano black and chrome. One thing to remember, as good as it sounds on the first day, one day, you'll be listening and suddenly you won't believe your ears. They sound amazing after break in. Enjoy your new toy, they don't come much more satisfying.
Isn't that a little risky in these days of identity theft, since anyone who looks at the manifest would then have my name, address, phone number, and SS# ready at hand?
Ait, I personally cannot believe that a SS# is required. It doesn't sound a little risky, it sounds a lot risky. I would not do it. Period. I would take the chance of letting it languish and then deal with it. If you are concerned, you might send Mick an email asking him to hold off sending it until Tuesday (by the time you call Monday in the AM, it will already be late Monday night in Oz), then call Customs Monday and find out what the deal is, then if you feel you need to change what is written, you can change it then. Best of luck. I'm more than a bit envious of your situation...
