Hey TC,

the Body Glove Tiki Beach Towels are at the main distribution center for Big 5 - It should be another week and they will bi in the Big 5 stores in the So CAL area. I'm still waiting to hear a up date on the exact ETA from Big 5. So... soon, very soon!

At least the towels made it there! things could have gone bad. Very bad. Like for this other shipment I have. It's beach mats. But not enough mats were ordered to fill an entire shipping container. So, it was shipped "loose shipment". Which means it got stuck in another container with some other things going in the same direction. Well, it seems U.S. customs pulled the container out. X-rayed it and saw something they didn't like. the container is whisked away to a wear house for further inspection. Weeks go by and I have no news. I finally get ahold of a wear house manager,and he tracks it down for me. Seems U.S. Customs either damaged the container, or it was damaged elsewhere, so everything was pulled out, inspected. Or not inspected yet, we're not sure. It's being held, and will have to be inspected, then they will have to call for new transport to come get in in a new container.... and my clients were expecting their beach mats two weeks ago. Yikes!

Big Aloha from the Big Island!
