You were right Ron. Selling you my 5x7 back was to finance my new Chamonix 4x5. No. 45 is on it's way to me. It will be the same as your.

Hanging around in Hangzhou
No where to go and nothing to do
Maybe the postman's home with the flu
Sad little camera without a view

How does one track the package after it's been handed over to Customs?

David,

Try entering your EMS number into the tracker at www.usps.com -- you might get a pleasant surprise like I did, mine arrived at JFK this AM and I live about 30 mins from there...

best,

May be different for your port of entry (e.g. closer to the left coast)-- be sure to check again this evening, the usps updates in unpredictable ways, but the package should be shifted from EMS to USPS upon entry.

Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped

FYI,

Here in the States my tracking number is recognized by the USPS tracking service but nothing suggests that the box has left US Customs (in San Francisco in my case):

"We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece."

We may need another poem to keep us grounded Barry :)

Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped

I think RooX and myself have to write an email to EMS and tell them where Canada is ... :D

According to my tracking details, my cam is still in Haining.

Oh well, I guess I'll be playing with my new 'Phillips' 5x7 set-up this Christmas holiday.

Just my luck this is one of my "long" work days. Sigh.

Mine says the same. San Francisco as well. I ordered lensboards for it yesterday, so I'm looking forward to getting it and trying it out.

Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped

The mighty Chamonix are on the way
Touching down at SFO and JFK
Remember to give the postman a holiday token
Lest you find your ground glass broken
The lingering of a lonely few--left in Haining and Hangzhou
Will it take a minister's order--to get these cameras across the border
Not to worry, they'll be on another flight
We know you want to be shooting tonight

Am I just blind? Where does one go to get information about these mythical cameras? I followed the URL from another thread and was offered the opportunity to buy that domain. I have my own domain already, so I gracefully declined.

Let me get this straight eddie. Your mailman called you?

Is Kingston NY anywhere near Petticoat Junction, or Mayberry?

Thanks for the poem Barry - I'm good for another 36 hours.

Mine is still outside HANGZHOU. The strange thing is that Parcelforce UK knows about it, but reports "mismatch/advised":

Status: Advised
Parcel tracks
Date Time Location Tracking Event
15-12-2007 21:35 MISMATCH - HANGZHOU EMS Left origin country

Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped

But, er...um, they have those shows on that newfangled cable tv - that's it!

I have Ebony boards but I'm not sure how well they will work - kinda like putting Finnish nordic ski pole baskets on Norwegian poles: you're just asking for trouble.

"Mismatch advised" - I think that happens when you order maple with silver metal, but I could be wrong.

I'm wondering whether or not the tracking system is perfect. It appears that shipments to the US are being tracked accurately, however those to Canada and the UK appear to have 'stalled'.

Maybe I'll get a nice surprise in the next day or two. But then again Customs is involved ...

Re: Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped

I got my camera today, It is beautiful. I checked Tracking on a few minutes before it arrived and it said it had only arrived in the country.
I have one question though. There are 2 knobs on the back plate at the top. They spin down two little planes. I have no idea wht these are for. Anyone know?

I`m not sure what you mean, can you describe what the "back plate" is? Or show a picture.
