Frank and Kevin,
I hope these meet or exceed your expectations.
Getting stung by taxes, import fees, etc.
Been there. Done that. Good luck. Sorry I can't help with that.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

UPDATE:  Only eight more boxes left from the huge first wave. About two thirds of the members elected to have labels done and that is what this wave was all about - getting the most out as quickly as was possible in my situation. I am waiting for a date to deliver the remaining to the printer. Peter |

In an exciting conclusion to my week of Systainer arrivals, I looked out on the porch just a few minutes ago and saw a suspiciously large cardboard box. It's now sitting as the perfect crown for all of my newly acquired storage.  And it's been said many times before (all of them well-deserved), a very big thank-you to Peter for all of his hard work and perseverance to produce something that is even better than I think any of us imagined! Now, off to go ooh and ahhh over my new babies, and figure out what is worthy of their protection. - Mike |

Peter, Fogtainers arrived this morning, Beautiful Job !!!! I swear I ordered them printed on the systainer, but mine are labels, and I could not be happier, so do not worry about it. Anyhow, I have been known to be wrong!! They fit my Spax screw boxes wonderfully. Thanks Again, John  My custom systainer labels !!  |

Although I never post on this forum....I'm a daily lurker and appreciate all the great insights. So today I received my fogtainer and I couldn't be happier. Peter - thank you so very much for all of your efforts - and extra efforts - toward this amazing project! Like others have said, the labels don't look anything like labels! It truly looks printed.
Thanks again Peter!
Dan

Thanks Guys!
A whole bunch more should be arriving at their new FogHomes in the next few days. In fact Wayne's ( the guy who really started this whole thing along with Jonathan) are already in South Africa. I am sure that we will see if the packing held up and if they meet one of the creators' critiques.
MacGyver and I have had fun with this. Enjoy!

UPDATE:
Delivered the remaining Fogtainers to the printer today. I will try to build the positioning jig tomorrow for the pad printer.
Only 3 packages left in the house to be shipped.
Yeah!

Why does it take longer to ship to Washington State than to Australia?
Currently there are Fogtainers in customs in the UK, cleared customs in Australia, and meandering around South Africa. Also in customs in Canada.

Fogtainers have arrived in Canada!I just took delivery of seven very well packed Fogtainers. Three are for me and four are for Kevin Dube. They look good! And, I was very happy to find that we did not have to pay any extra charges for the package crossing the US-Canada border. Here is a photo:  Thanks again Peter.

I thought you were gong to say you'd get your mail by May when some of the snow may have melted.  |

I just do not like delivering to Washington at all anymore. The prices are as high as me shipping to Canada and it takes a long time for the package to get there. Plus, I believe I have only had three damaged items in shipping in 15 years total(thousand packages) and two were to Washington State recently! I just may have to add Washington to Alaska and Hawaii for extra shipping cost.  |

Oky Doky I have just picked up the first ( I think ) FOGtainers to hit Africa. I will be doing an unboxing later on after I take Lisa ( Boxer dog ) for her daily walk, and after I have a good shower and a meal. This unboxing needs to be a religious experience  |

Alrighty then, Here you have them. The only FOGtainers in Africa!! I couldn't be more happy with them. The labels really do look fantastic. I don't ever see them coming off and the printing is perfect. I do have one problem with them though.........Am I really going to want to use these things and risk letting them look like my other systainers over a few years ?? Your darn right I'm going to use them !!! THANKS PETER !!!  |
