Default And so my watch begins....again

I too am part of the U.S. contingent on the October 30th Emerald Shipment. Though the assistance of the forum members that inspired me I’ll have an X-30 to go with my X-30-12. A stock understated veneer and design.

Does anyone know the time it takes from a video appearance to arrival in the States? I’ve only done this once and think it took a month?

I'm not sure if Emerald is using UPS or USPS now, but I found that the shipping/customs time was cut down considerably with UPS shipping. I don't recall the time from shipping video to delivery, but the time from Ireland to my hands for my X30 was a week. Hopefully yours will be quick...

Both mine, even in pre-UPS days, took about a week.

5-7 days or the amount of time it used to take to get a Covid test result.

Did you buy your Sake from a guy named Pete? (Oh, for Pete's Sake! Yeah, back to my corner.)

You’re gonna love that X30. Can’t wait to hear your impressions and how they differ from the 12 string.
