I got an $100 CAD UPS bill down to $20 by clearing a package myself at customs. $109 usd shoes mind you. Itā€™s definitely worth the extra effort to not pay them. ---

Success! I actually called our long time FedEx driver who no longer is on our route (he delivered to us back in 2009 when we were first starting and we became good friends over the years!) He was able to touch base and found out what was going on and called me this morning to confirm he worked it out. It arrived at the end of the day today! We are packing up all the yo-yos - a few who ordered expedited made it out FedEx since they still had a pickup - rest are being packed up as we speak! What a journey! Thanks for everyoneā€™s patience - very excited for everyone to finally receive these absolute beautiful yo-yos! ---

Is absolutely absurd to me that it took multiple phone calls to get nothing done but a FedEx employee to figure it out. Lately the shipping companies have been a joke. I have shipped three things through USPS and all three things were delayed between 1 and 2 weeks. It almost makes me not want to buy on the buy so trade forums or send anything because you never know what kind of issues youā€™re going to deal with ---

My Blumi arrived today! Fit and finish are perfect and the colors look even better in person. Sleeps like a dream, zips around the string nice and smooth, and binds are effortless. It will sit alongside many past and present freehands, flying squirrels, a roadrunner, and an 08 888 as the modern centerpiece. Very excited to have gotten one. Going to see a ton of play! ---

my blumi arrived today and it is much nicer than the pictures make it look to be. It is more gold than yellow. I was a little concerned at first because the brightish yellow did not look so good but I can 100% say that itā€™s really not yellow. Itā€™s more like a deeper color gold and it goes very well with the blue. But unfortunately I may not be keeping it. I did put a different string on it just so I didnā€™t ruin the white one that it came with just to get a couple of throws. See how it is and itā€™s fantastic. It is butter smooth. Thereā€™s not a single bit of vibe whatsoever. And it fits fantastic in your hand. But Iā€™m not having fun in the yoyo world and I found a new passion spin tops and Iā€™m having a blast. So this is probably going to be one that Iā€™m going to sell. Itā€™s really hard to get a picture of the yellow because itā€™s not a bright yellow. Itā€™s kind of like a matte goldish color and itā€™s a lot duller than my pictures come out to be ![1000003131](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/e/9ee4ac9476b8a1d57156c16b040b53ac71d95c7e.jpeg) ![1000003133](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/a/c/5ac186afaa102534261d36d1b76d3685e30f8d15.jpeg) ![1000003132](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/8/d/88d60b4c4a926747e9b96973144bf2ac6531d5f3.jpeg) ---

I think part of the beauty of working with a single colour pallete is that someone could mix and match the halves from any colourway with another and have something that looks good, so Iā€™d like to see the same finish for each run to keep that as a possibility, even if few people are ever going to do that. ---
