It's like the first day of school!
Time for them to start earning their keep! Although I kind of wish I could keep them home and protect them...

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.

Tom:
"Your item was processed through and left our ALLEN PARK, MI 48101 facility on January 22, 2011 at 2:48 pm. " per USPS.
Of course you had multiple boxes and only one shows up in the system as far as tracking. In the future I will only ship thru the one close post office that actually closes for lunch - one employee. She at least scans every package into the system.

Later. After I finish this project. Peter Peter, if you do choose to do the FOG-Tees, please consider basing them on a serious tee like the Duluth Trading Company's long-tail model ( http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/duluth-ingenuity/longtail-ts-longtail-shirts/longtail-ts-longtail-shirts.aspx). These things are good, heavy duty cotton, and don't leave me looking like the plumber whenever I bend over or reach over my head.  |

Tallgrass you are not the only one still waiting. Don and TallGrass, I hope to hear tomorrow about schedules for printing and label production. If labels are available this week, then those with labels will ship as soon as I can after invoicing for the shipping costs. Peter |

oooops.....i did not want that to come out that way....i was not implying that i you should hurry up.....i was more mocking myself for looking forward to a bill.....I am not used to looking forward to bills:) i understand the wait....i opted for the printed instead of the label so i am sure that makes things take more time...... Just to make things clear....take the time you need...thank you so very much for all of your efforts......i look forward to when they get to me and again THANK YOU!!!!!!! |

Guys,
I didn't take anything the wrong way. It is all GOOD! Just got off the phone with the printer. Next week should be heavy shipping for labelled ones. If anyone who wanted printed wants to switch to labels, you can email me and change your mind. When I pick up the labels I will measure his machine so that I can make a jig to position the boxes properly for printing.
All in all, despite the printing issues on the first batch, this vendor has done the right things to make this a better situation. Stay tuned. Same FOG time. Same FOG channel.
Peter

Peter, My FogTainers arrived today in perfect shape!! Yeah!! The labels, don't look like labels. Nice job on the color match and printing. There was enough bubble wrap on these four FogTainers to float the titanic. I may never have to buy bubble wrap again. Thanks for all of your efforts Brian |

Brian,
It isn't quite like Lawrence Welk, but enjoy the bubbles and your Fogtainers too!
I would love to hear from all FogtainerParents once they receive theirs. For instance, the USPS tracking system is not up to par with private firms, so Brian has his but the report tells me something different. It was cheaper for me to ship to you this way.
ENJOY! And show picts of how you guys are enjoying!
Peter

Put them to work. The Fog2 is my new sander sys, the sys1 wasn't big enough for all the sandpaper etc... And I'm trying the Fog3 for my drill/impactor case  |

MacGyver, who sits watching the process, says YEAH!!! Use them!
I had a photo op with him and bubble wrap the other day, but he has grown aware of the camera. Rats! Minnie would have loved it.

Hi Peter,
My Fogtainers arrived last Monday. They were in perfect condition and are as good-looking, and eye-catching, as my Festool tools are.
The members on this forum are, rightfully, very demanding when it comes to quality and fit-and-finish. I am one member whose expectations
have been exceeded. I can't wait for the T-Loc version. Thanks so much.
John

My Fogtainers arrived today. Two Sys 2 and one Sys 3. AWESOME!
Wish I had ordered a Sys 4.
A note on the handles. The Tanos handles are much more comfortable than the Festool handles. However I am used to using the Festool handles. Since I pretty much always have a Sys on top of the CT, the recess grooves are great for holding pencils that don't roll away.
Thanks Peter

Markus, Glad to hear that everything worked out with your Post Office and that things came thru undamaged. MacGyver says Yeah! I picked up more labels for those who wanted labels on theirs and more boxes, bubble wrap and packing tape should be here tomorrow. Spent three hours packing tonight. I hope that everyone who decided on labels will be packed over the weekend and shipping invoices forwarded - including any international. The mountain is either getting smaller or Mac is getting bigger - or both . For those who are waiting for printed versions, the printer is full next week, but we are scheduled for the following. Hang in there. Others think that they were the wait. Peter |
