Hey, that was me! I'm glad you finally received it. Have fun.

When I finally make it back to Maryland to visit my folks, I'll try to
hook-up with you.

Excellent! Those 3-4 months must have been horrible. Have fun on it,
and please take some photos when you get the chance. Does it have one
of those fancy new KH hub and crank sets I've heard about?

My happy day should be tomorrow according to the ups tracking device
thing...

I'm kinda sad that I missed my kh 24 by a few hours right before my muni
weekend.... It was sitting a few minutes away from my house but I
couldn't get to it because of customs...

Anyways....

tomorrow it will come, tomorrow it will come!
High-high, hippy-ho
Tomorrow it will come!

Arrrgh! Living on the west coast is great, until you realize you're
last to receive the new goodies. This is painful reading about everyone
else getting their new KH's already. I ordered mine last December, so I
might take the prize for longest wait. Delivery scheduled for tomorrow
though. Can't wait!

DAMN THOSE A**HOLES AT UPS!!!!!

Ok, so today is monday, the schedualed day of delivery. To be more
precise, it's monday 9;40am. I came home last night exhausted from my
Muni weekend and wanted nothing else than some sleep in time. so here's
what happens:

it's 9;30: I'm still asleep: ZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

thump! thump! thump! WOOF! WOOF WOOF!

Me: Uh? what? shut up Peluche I'm trying to sleep!

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!!! WOOOOOOOOF! WOOOOOOF!

Me: !!!!!! thinks( this is it! it's here! it's finally here!!! 😄 😄 😄
)

So I run downstairs in my boxer shorts, and run out the door just in
time to see Mr. Brown putting away this large rectangular box in his
truck.

He looks around as and sees me he then makes the link between the
smilling kid in boxers on the front lawn and him having to deliver
something to the front door of that house.

Oh, he says, I've got a parcel for you. You've got to pay 155$ if you
want to have it. Do you ave 155$?

ummm...well, my mom isin't here...and neither is my dad....
(I was thinking I might aswell pay it myself but then I thought that my
mom might not agree to pay me back seeing that it's my dad who's
incharge of all my unicuycle related stuff)

wait a second.....wher IS my mom? she doesn't work on mondays..

Anyways, he says will bring it back tomorrow and leaves.

Yes, and leaves me standing there, in my boxers, half asleep and half
awake withouth my kh 24...

Now I'm angry cause I didn't get the full night of sleep I expected to
have and I dind't get my unicycle either.

Where the hell does that hidden 155$ charge come from?

I know what you mean. When mine showed up after I already payed for
shipping over the phone, they wouldn't let me have it till I payed $140.
It had something to do with over the boarder. Suddenly my "cheap" new
Summit is like a hundred more bucks then a new KH. My mom told me that I
should just bite the bullet and take it as a lesson. I did. And am now
the proud owner of a + $530 unicycle.

David

PS. I love it like a son.

My KH 24 came today and, lo and behold, Unicycle.com has struck again.

They shipped the wrong color seat.

Now, normally, I'd be more than happy to receive something as ultra cool
as a KH 24 and not complain, but I've been waiting -three months- for
this thing and I paid -four hundred and fifty dollars- for it and, well,
I want it done right.

I love Unicycle.com. They're ultra friendly, quick to ship, and they
have the best stock around, but they really need to work on that quality
control.

Here's hoping they fix it before the week ends.

Sending stuff UPS to Canada is a PITA! They charge brokerage fees and
taxes that the US doesn't require when Canadians send stuff to the US.
Typical of treaties that the US signs. Always benefiting importers to
the US while punishing exporters and their customers. I have found that
sending items through the postal service eliminates these fees and
taxes. Of course you sacrifice reliability, tracking, and timely
delivery. One other problem is the limitations on size. You can send
bigger items through UPS.
