2017 Cars starting to ship home! ALL SHIPPED 12/13/17

[dreinecke]

Folks - I just shipped 30+ boxes this evening via USPS. ALL USA cars are heading home now, the International ones will ship on Tuesday or Wednesday when I can stand in line with 8 overseas boxes.

I'm going to add a few "tweaks" to the shipping rules for 2018 to make this a little easier next year.

Thanks Dave for running this proxy and sending our toys home.
Hope next years event is as great as this one.

Cheers,

Thanks gents.

Austin - actually, it is easy to keep track of them as I build a quick spreadsheet and photograph each car with it's box. The fetching Mrs. Reinecke does a great job helping me get them shipped. The boxes though...see the 2018 shipping thread. We need to get a bit better at that.

For the hosts - I've greatly simplified this for next year - we are going to Plano boxes that holds 8 cars each. It won't matter where you put them or what packing material came out of what box - they will all be the same. As a side bonus - since the Plano boxes are all the same size I won't need a monster box due to various box sizes.

See, three years in and I'm learning...

Thanks Dave, I've been itching to get my hands back into those cars since the very first race.

[dreinecke]

ALL cars have now been shipped. If you'd like your tracking info - please contact me.

For the overseas cars (Canada, S. Africa, etc) - I've added this note to customs forms: "Model Car that is being returned to the owner after an international race."

I hope that doesn't cause any issues with the shipping.

Thanks!
