Thanks to all subscribers for your patience with this process. The
vendor finally did receive the sample spring and is in the process
of setting up the production machine.

I am told the "proof" sample will be made on March 11th and sent to me
for 24-hour approval, at which point the required number of springs
will be fabricated. I expect that with packing and shipping I should
receive them by the end of the following week (March 19th) so I should
be able to begin distribution the following week.

I had initially planned to include mailing cost (via USPS First Class,
uninsured, untraced handling) in the original subscription price, which
I will still honor, but I will also offer a traceable option (cost yet
 to be determined) for those who want them delivered, for sure, this
calendar year. Stay tuned.
