My advisers are unclear as to the nature of thy signature request...
Ah yes! The Columbus SLX decal! Indeed! Lovely idea! Wonderful, yes proceed with the blessings of the realm!

The BoC arrived safely in my hands this morning. I think I'll leave it taped up for structural integrity until I get home, but the box is intact:

I don't know how y'all managed to fit all that in this box! I ended up with one extra piece after I re-sealed the box just because I forgot to put it back in. And what I had planned to put in the box would've taken up over half the volume of the box by itself. I planned to put the heaviest, sturdiest stuff in first, with the lightest and most delicate stuff at the top, but in the end, I just scrambled things up until I could get the top closed.
I believe romperrr is next.

FWIW, I was unable to view your images.

Pending pickup by our letter carrier, which will probably be Tuesday morning, the Box is enroute to the next victim.

Just checked the tracking on USPS, it is still on it's way. Will post when received. I am eager for the crap that will befall me.

I have a group I ordered through Ebay, it’s been wandering around Detroit for a couple weeks. I think the USPS is still running fewer staff, and it’s making deliveries sloooooow.

Yes, USPS tracking showed the BOC bouncing around Detroit distribution centers for most of the past week!

My friend sent me a package over a week ago from NY and it’s been bouncing around the Houston USPS system since Monday. It’s still not here and there’s no update to tracking since then.
USPS is the worst.
