Guys how long does Quac at Petras normally take to reply to an email? I have emailed him last night (day time for them quiet early in the morning) but so far nothing. How long did you guys have to wait?
Never more than 8 hours for me so far.Quote:

Quoc is usually really fast in answering any question I have to its full entirety. I never have a correspondence where I don't feel satisfied.Quote:

I might send the email again.
be patient i'd say, he has only 2 hands, 1 pair for packing our stuffs, 1 pair for keyboard typing our responses, 1 pair for writing our those notes together with our pens... basically he has a lot of stuff to do every working day.

Re my UV Pentosin problem, I have actually dropped two bottles of Red Pentosin (as per my earlier pictures on this thread) into the loop. UV reaction is very mild at best. I might drain the loop and try the blue pentosin I also bought from Petra's.
My uv lighting is ok as other uv reactive cables light up very nicely.
Have to say I thought the reaction would have been more like pictures posted by other people.
What other uv dye's do you ppl use?
GeoffP: as you had your stuff delivered by FedEx I have to ask what ahppened to you and customs (or duties)? Did you have to pay anything?
My stuff is in Alexandria so I want to know :)
One very good reason for keeping each shipment under a grand. Watch out for the rate though Customs uses the OS currency on any invoice and does their own conversion to see if its under the thousand dollars.Quote:

The U2 was stuck in customs (Alexandria) for a few days. Maybe because of its size, I don't know. It eventually cleared, and nothing else I imported was delayed in customs as well.
Make sure when you check the case that there are no scratches, etc on it. Especially check the drive bays. Anything not right, email MM as they were excellent in replacing my damaged drive bays.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Wasn't aware of this, so any import over AU$1K attracts duty? Looks like I lucked in if that's the case :p:Quote:

ALEXANDRIA AU
Package available for clearance
I have also managed to get Quok to ship my items yesterday.
Now you were NOT the one who bought the last bigNG from PCCG were you? :D
Now time to find an international seller of bigNG with good shipping rates to Ozz.
I also need a digital camera (my own broke down a few weeks ago) so I can start a work log.
