    Hi everyone,

    Our shipping broker informed us today that the Tiger Wheels shipment just cleared U.S. Customs in Long Beach and are now on a truck enroute to Dallas. The shipment will be here by the end of the week.

    You guys are so funny. It would be nice to distribute 11,500 units of the Mavericks in all its variations in one day to everyone. But alas, it does take time to verify payment, and to conduct inventory and quality inspections.

    Yes, you are correct, the Tiger Wheels Mavericks are beginning to pop-up all over eBay as we expected since we shipped first to our dealers around the country who ordered 100s of pieces each as they've done of all previous Tiger Wheels releases. In addition, for dealers who purchased in volume by the factory-sealed box, we do not conduct any inspections, except for a cursory review of the outer shipping box.

    Everyone here has worked 16 hour days, including this past weekend, since Mavericks were released from U.S. Customs late last Wednesday. Oh and by the way, we have had torrential rainstorms for three straight days with tornados that has caused flooding, disruption in phone and electrical services. We are ourselves at home were without electricity for 24 hours. Some of our neighbors have not had power for three days. Feel free to check our local weather service listing for Arlington, TX 76012.

    Lastly, the phones have been ringing off the hook from Maverick owners who want to know about "where is my darn car"...this means that there is one less employee to help with the processing of the orders. So just chill dudes. At least 100 orders were shipped via U.S. mail this morning and over 100 more are being shipped via Fed Ex this afternoon.

    We hope this covers it. Now back to shipping...

    Best Regards,
    Robert

    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    Thanks Robert.

    Now where's my darn Maverick! ;)

    (I did get my notice from USPS saying that you guy were about to ship - didn't really understand how that worked, but I took it as good news).

    No Complaints here Robert... I know what your going through and with the weather as well. It's hit me hard here as well.


    Thanks for letting us be a part of this and getting our hands on purchasing them. I'm sure Mavaholic speaks for all of us here...
    Thanks again Robert... can't wait to see them when they arrive!

    Robert, Did not mean to ruffle any feathers. A posted update would have been great, probably would have prevented some of those phone calls and e-mails. I am sure we all just want to make sure we get what we ordered before they are all on ebay. One of my orders show it shipped yesterday, Thank You.

    Thanks for putting up with the impatient bunch and good luck with the weather.
