Baron1414 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Agreed whole heartily, this is a hobby for many of us and therefore should be pleasurable. I for one also like to tinker with my sequences, props and fixtures during the show season. Lighten up folks, life is too short and unpredictable, so enjoy the pleasures when you can and let the good Lord take care of the worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdeditch Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 If anything, the DHS doesn't move very fast. Have patience, the gov't got involved, lol.DHS have been instructed to open and inspect any containers coming from out of USA that contain Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, and artifical Trees. If you want to call this a delay on Jacobs part, your wrong. It was not his fault they shipped the wrong lights at first, I am sure he is stressed out enough as it is. As for the other suggestions of buying from others, that is your choice, but some of them had bigger problems in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hall Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am not implying anything except it is yet another delay. He has my money, I have nothng except more delays.Ok, and you're not any more special than me, or anyone else who bought from him. Circumstances have arisen which he can't be faulted for. If it's such a big issue, don't order from him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobJDell Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 To keep everyone up to date of what is going on with the container, it has been sitting at St. George Customs station waiting to be cleared. It has already passed an X-ray exam. We continue to have everything on standby to ship everything just as soon as it is released. You can monitor the progress and view a webcam at http://stgl.stgusa.com/warehousingSTG/warehousing?event=HOME&db=HOU The container number is CMAU8102174. Our broker said most Christmas related containers are being flagged for inspection, but didn't know why. As always you can reach us at 210-267-5371 or jacob@magicinthesky.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. M. Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Last year it seems there was a focus on Christmas items looking for counterfeit and dangerous electrical devices. From the DHS:http://www.ice.gov/news/releases/1110/111021washingtondc.htmMaybe it has become an ongoing directive. Thanks for the update Jacob.

JacobJDell Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 To update everyone: The container has officially cleared customs and is working its way to San Antonio (we are about three hours from the inspection station). We have 246 preprinted labels for full cases which will be cross docked as they come off the container for immediate shipment and then we will be picking the per stand orders for shipment. Please note that if you have some individual strands and some full cases the full cases may arrive in a different shipment than the strands but will all be shipped as fast as possible.Jacob J Dell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
