I've sent everyone through a spreadsheet with the details.

If you have trouble opening it let me know and I'll re-send it through as an .xls file.

Bob, do you want payment into your NAB bank account in US dollars? How do I go about that?

Just do a conversion into Aus dollars on the exchange rate at the time you deposit Martin.

My sincere thanks to all that participated in the Cocobolo group buy.
The order left today via USPS and should be in AUS next week some time.
I'll PM Bob with the tracking info.

The Coco order arrived this morning.

It'll probably be the weekend before I can pack them up so you'll probably get them next week.

Martin, Dom and Alan - could you PM me through postal addresses.

I'll let you know what the local postage is after I send them

I've had a look through them and there's some lovely looking wood there Bob.

The website photos don't do them justice.

I got them in the mail this morning so let me know when they arrive - should be Wednesday.

Interestingly 4 sets to Adelaide cost roughly the same as 1 set to Townsville.

They all came in at about $15 so you blokes owe me a couple of pints of Guinness. :drink2

Yum, lovely orange wood turned up this morning. Looks much nicer and brighter than in the pics.

Thanks Bob (and Bob C). My package was put together better than most of my guitars. If you PM me your details I'll transfer the postage bucks.

Thanks again.
