The wait....

[Scottt]

Is there anything more tense and filled with anticipation than waiting for a club you've bought to arrive at your door (of office)?!

Maybe today...

Depends how regular an occurrence it is:D

[Dazza]

I doubt Rick3003 will ever sell me another club. Impatient bastard I am!
Mind you, Australia Post did put the registered post slip in the wrong mailbox. :smt013
Everything ended well, and the putter arrived yesterday. :D

The wife is hanging out for her new bag, the sub contracted courier doesn't come here til Tuesday next week. So I organised another courier to collect it from their depot and it'll be here smoko tomorrow.

[moree golfer]

Nothing like the anticipation, I agree Scottt...

[3oneday]

Who waits ???


:lol:

[Dotty]

Depends how regular an occurrence it is:D
I heard Aus Post sends around a home nurse to check up on you, if they go three days without a delivery ?

What are you waiting for?

The only things I have in transit are some new spikes and a bag of tees. I need some ho afterglow. :cry:

Just a Mizzy MP FliHi.

I'm going to see if it's any easier to hit than my four iron. It was only £25 shipped, so for an experiment, the price was right. Of course I'll have to get the crayons back out so it matches the others :lol:

[Lucasto23]

the wait is the most unbearable experience known to man. It's even worse when you buy retail and have to wait for them to forget to call you after 2 long weeks+ and no money left in your pocket.

[macjackass]

I find the wait for a product to be released to be worse. I hate seeing something great on wrx and having to wait months to be able to buy it!!

[Webster]

BUt what if the club arrvies with "NWRNTY" stamped on the hosel? How deflating would that be?

[Scottt]

By all accounts, pretty soul destroying :lol: sadly the seller isn't an Ozgolfer, or I'd bloody well name and shame the f**ker.

[3oneday]

One of my mates ordered some custom 909 driver pre christmas through Drummond.

Still waiting !

I would have cancelled after a week !

[Scottt]

The benefit of never buying new gear is never having to wait for release!!

[henno]

Where is sms. Didn't he wait the good part of three months or more for delivery of his 4DX?

[sms316]

If the wait gets too much for you, abuse the manufacturer in a public forum. What ever happened to Horse anyway?

Nickent's customer service sucks (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11840)

[Courty]

The wait doesn't worry me too much. I can just borrow Haysey's R9 in the meantime. :lol:

[Scottt]

The wait is over. The release is lovely, especially cos I'm playing both days on the weekend.

[andylo]

Auspost sucks and can suck cokx!! I waited for 3 weeks and still waiting!

[zigwah]

Anyone have any idea how long it takes a courier delivery from brisbane to victoria?

[mike]

Haysey sent some stuff for me via courier from NQ to NSW country and they arrived next day.

[Flowergirl]

When I got my clubs from the states I was so happy I kissed the courier!!:shock:

... he was delivering a Bang Bang 10.5 in stiff flex if I'm remembering the right movie

[Johnny Canuck]

the wait is killing me!

[v205]

The wait for a scotty from US... only to get one with the wrong specs... then sending it back... then the 'second' wait..... but all good now *phew*.

[dhills2]

doraimon-chan... yataaaaaaaaa!!

[andylo]

I still waiting for my wedges!

I got other stuff arrived/arriving.

The wait from the postal agency is not too hard.

Worst thing to me is - it arrive at a time that you can't fly straight to a driving range/golf course to try it! All you can do is just staring at it! Now that's frustrating!!

[Courty]

The wait is over for me! 8) :mrgreen:

It's a fn long way from here to there Johnny. Especially when the clubs are sent by camel:D

I emailed your supplier for you and told them of there mistake. They want there club back.....

you don't need a change before a weekend of matchplay

I know!!! He said next Wednesday, I really hope that is right.

I would have probably broke them out for the match play champs if they got here, so waiting is probably a good thing.

[grandmasterb]

Im waiting on golf gear, car parts, riding gear, clothing and my hand out from K Rudd and im not sure which one im more excited about!!!

[Scottt]

K Rudd handout ftw!

[Bungeye]

going nuts waiting for an order to be filled from the States, they underestimated demand and the backlog of orders seems to have eatenthe whole first batch....arrrgghh.

Can't wait to see the FedEx tracking order in the inbox

[oobsadd2]

In general I get things faster from the States via Fedex than from across the country.
Id like a courier race, FedEx the undisputed courier champions of the world taking on all comers.
The handicap of course will be about 12 000 kms.
I think Fedex would win despite having to clear customs.

[3oneday]

Is this wait over yet ?

[oobsadd2]

Tomson79 is sending me a driver from Cairns. 3 days to get to Sydney, another 3 days to get to Adelaide. Apparently its getting delivered tomorrow, another 2 days.
8 days is a long time :(
I used to think Aussie Post was slow.
Ive got stuff in 4 days from the States using Fedex.
ok, no more whinging.

[Spider Lover]

Got my new set today!!!!! Am back into golf after playing every day as a kid. We moved, no course around, and have played once a year since. Now mid 30's its time to get back into it. I think I will be playing off about 25 after getting my cards together for my handicap. Although last week played at Tuggerah Lakes and had 6 over of the front 9, then blew out and had 12 over on the back, including a 9 on the last!

I bought a cheaper custom made set, Wilson Pro Staffs. 3 and 4 iron hybrids. No such thing as hybrids when I last played but after hitting a bucket of balls I love them. Had myself convinced I wouldn't like them. The irons felt good, especially with thicker grips for me.

Wasn't too impressed with the driver as it's noticeably shorter than my mates TM Burner but doesn't matter. Will concentrate on keeping it on the fairway.

The one thing I splurged on was a putter. Got a TM itsy bitsy spider. Beautiful feel to it on striking the ball.

My aim is to get down to a handicap of 11 them spend the big bucks on a top set with stiffer shafts, especially in the driver.

[moree golfer]

Why wait to get stiffer shafts, get them changed out?

[Spider Lover]

Why not. Didn't think of it. Thanks Moree for helping the newbies.

Played with the set today for 16 over. Was pretty happy with that. The putter was great. Didn't 3 putt once. Next project will be to get a stiffer graphite shaft in the driver during a week of rain. Was happy with the stiff steel shafts in the irons.

[Dazza]

A fantastic putter, going to take a lot to knock it out of my bag.

[Scottt]

The S58s are arriving at work some time today. Can't remember the last time I was so excited to come to the office!

[3oneday]

Woody ?

[Scottt]

Nah, just a sem-on.

[Scottt]

The wait is over, but honestly, who posts a set of irons without wrapping the heads in some bubble wrap, or at least some newspaper.

Lucky they're Pings or they'd be f**ked. :lol:

[Jarro]

Nobody in their right mind would bother wrapping a set of Ping irons :roll:

[adlo]

The wait continues though a second weekend, still Mizuno-less :(

[Scottt]

Where's it coming from?

[adlo]

USA, I would say it'll arrive on Monday, 1 or 2 days slower than usual.

Two waits in one week makes the next few days look like being the longest ever.

1. Flying to WAnker County on Thursday.
2. Eating Indian takeaway and having a couple of beers on Wednesday.

Tick frikkin tock...

[Moe Norman]

speaking of waiting, I sent Scottt my rangefinder for him to 'trial' over a year ago. He decided it didn't suit him and would send it back.

We've traded PM's a few times and agreed for it to be sent back. How long should a free trial last?

No probs mate, I'll get back to you about it later. It's best it arrives after WAnker champs so the better half won't know! ;-)

[Moe Norman]

Kidding right?:roll:

Nope.

Not a big deal, as I wasn't using it. But its been a long time now, nd I would have liked to have sold it.

It's probably dropped 30% (from a low base) in value in that time.

[Captain Nemo]

Wow, he plays just round the corner from my house, if its such a big deal, tell him to leave it at the proshop, I'll pick it up and send it to you, fair dinkum......

[GSP]

Bloke sounds like a dick

[WBennett]

Scottt has been overseas for the last few weeks.
Give you $50 for it Moe.

[Jarro]

I'd hit Scotttttttttttt with a $50 bill !

[sms316]

You sure he wasn't just going to pay Moe after Jarro paid up on the bet?

[jaybam]

Jarro owes Scotty $50 so maybe you could get it off him.

Sure, its a deal for $50. You pay me now, and then chase him for it!
