Why Radio Popper guy why? Why did you send UPS confirmed signature ? This is why I never buy from anyone who ships FEDEX! We are never home and the UPS guy usualy just drops the goods. Got a message from UPS saying they will need a signature, why, why!!! Now I will be on a chase, stressing out trying to get my Poppers! I will end up having to drive to Fort Worth and get off my couch when I really dont want to just to get a delivery. Why? Hey A2rob did you have to sign for yours ?

Chris,
Sorry for your trouble, but if will probably be worth the drive to have a new toy for the weekend

YES, Spoke to kevin and he is sending them all with sig required. They are awesome!!
You know I had to try them out by placing them in the back room and go out side, take a picture of the house at 50 ft away just to ensure that they work...and they work!! Lit the room perfectly..

No to find a willing victim...

Yea, judging by your shots here looks like they're firing! Great looking model by the way, lol... Boy, I only hope to luck out and have UPS come by during my wifes lunch our. I noticed you mounted the thing on the side of your flash, any reason you did not put it on top ?

Yea, my Model Sherrie Never Complains, just turns her head slowly as the wind blows.
No Reason, other than I have a snoot that I normally mount on this flash. I have three flash and have them identified by a,b and c. C along with the Su800 are the commander units and the transmitter is located on top of these two.

Hey Christopher - dude, I totally hear you. We HATED to have to do this. It was a stipulation required by our bank for processing the credit cards. They said it was okay to take pre-orders, but required a signature delivery when we did ship. Risk management companies don't make any sense - we heard that requirement from 2 major banks. Requiring sig I guess evens out the fraud risk of doing pre-orders. I dunno. We thought it was pretty dumb also. Part of the price you'll pay for being first in line I guess. Sorry about that.

Good to know that a sigature is a must I will hang around here tomorrow for the UPS guy or I will track him like a scout and get my poppers!

I have no problem with signing for my goods as there is WAY to many fraud scams driving up shipping cost... Besides being one of the FIRST in this area to get them is just SIMPLY AWESOME............

Thanks K. K.
