and now for an update on mine:



NONE - zero - the package is still on vacation.
I message the seller about this and they are doing what they can to get it moving . He even asked me IF I would give it more time to see if it moves on, I told him yes I was willing to wait a little while, Then the seller offered me a replacement of equal grade (an MS70 PCGS ASE) if ti fails to move forward.

Dearborn, give it time. Remember, it's the weekend in Hawaii too. The only time I had a shipping issue like this, both the seller and I filed inquiries with the PO to see what was going on (and a real live person actually called me back!!!). Give it another day, but if you don't hear anything by Tuesday get after the PO.

I wonder where that "Next Facility" might be - Guam? Philippines? New Zealand?
Your ASE might end up being the most widely traveled one on record, Dearborn.

After that last update, it could have gone anywhere for 2 days.
BUT I just checked the mail today and it was in the box!

Well it did have a few extra travel stickers on it - could barely see the address label...

Happy that it finally made its way home! I'll watch your ASE thread for pics.

There was a time when airlines did major discounts for flights with a Saturday stay. Oh for the days of multiple fights.

Instead of buying Mon-Fri R/T ORD-EWR, the people I worked with bought Fri-Sun R/T EWR-HNL.

They would catch the afternoon flight, get into HNL around 8pm, having slept on the flight. Go bar hopping until 2 or 3 am. Nap a few hours and hit the beach Saturday AM where they would mostly sleep. Saturday night in the bars. Sunday AM on the beach and then catch the red-eye back to EWR.

Sure, they were pretty useless due to hangovers and jetlag on Monday, Tuesday wasn't much better.

Wednesday / Thursday were OK - well, as close to OK as those two ever got.

Friday they were looking forward to the weekend.

And the company paid it all because it was cheaper than the traditional consulting commute.

Newark to Honolulu is a very long flight.
When I was transferring duty stations from England to my next station in Hawaii, the Military set me up to have continuous rail/flights all back to back.
I had to take a train from West Wales to London, then fly into Newark, with a short stop over of a few hours, then to LA (another short stop over, then onto Honolulu. Completed all in 2 days.
