Actually USPS only send the package to Kuala Lumpur (Our capital city) and from there on our local postal service will take over. This is because USPS has no office or authority to send the packages to the specific address. So there are 2 parties who deals with the packages. You might want to guess which one is the guilty party. I had ordered over the years from the states with USPS but its the first time with sub. All packages received are nothing serious compared to this. Sure UPS are faster but I did mention to Scott in the first place that I would'nt pay for shipping something like cost half of the sub and I would'nt mind waiting a little longer. I was quoted by TC Sound shipping via UPS of $365.72 for a single TC3000 15" which in that case I can get another TC3000 15" for the cost. Btw I'm not Canadian though, Malaysian . Scott remembers me well of harrassing his email with questions that he already answer (sorry for that). Btw the sub looks good everytime I look at it. I have not start to build enclosure for it but I'll try to design and post it and see what do you think about it. thanks Wynold
