tell me more
 
A special order was shipped on a freighter from europe and we were able to track it as it crossed the atlantic.
you have to know the name of the ship and ports/dates/times
Why not do the same from China?? minute by minute updates??
 
I've spotted it with google earth :stirthepot2:

But that'd actually be sweet if we knew the name of the cargo ship, I like that idea.
 
Just because TI got the update from the factory doesn't mean they weren't necessarily sent out already. They could have waited to tell him until it was past the point of no return as a 'tough luck this is what you're getting' now.
Be happy there's a steady steam of information confirming these even exist and are/will be on the way.

I have a dog in this fight, it'll show up someday. Whatever.
 
in majority of all retail instances, you're the end of the line. whenever it gets here it gets here. That being said, i appreciate the info when they do have it. I assume Norinco isnt the easiest entity in China to contact.

Sorry guys we have been informed today that the factory decided that the non-spec wood would not be included with the rifles, for a number of reasons including:
-the chance of clients having issues swapping the wood
-the gun boxes were not designed to have another set of wood hardware inside, they didn't want to risk the possibility of the hardware on the wood damaging the blued finish during transport
-the non-spec wood looks pretty bad, they did not want to chance there being a bunch of guns out there with people that didn't bother to swap the wood and ended up circulating around

Good news is that they will come from the factory as pictured, no work required

Ahh.... I actually was hoping to get the stained wood version. Looks more battle authentic.
 
If Mine comes something like what is in the picture. I will be happy regardless. I think they look good in blonde, hell when I showed my gf the picture, she was like ohh I like that, nice contrast.
 
Good god, the beginning parts of this post gave me a bit of a heart palpitation, "Sorry guys we have been informed today that the factory".

I like getting updated but for just a second there I was seeing my 1000 go down the drain, lol.

When did the factory finally find out the box could not contain the extra wood hardware? After they already packed the rifles and let your rep take the picture which was posted by you on your website? Or the boxes shown in your picture were for something else other than the t81 ready to be shipped to Canada?

I am just curious about the possibility for them to arrive in Canada by the end of September.
 
Guys, calm down. ETA to Arrival is still 6 weeks. Even if they haven't shipped out yet, it wouldn't take 6 weeks from China to Canada even on a ship. My guess is it would take 2 weeks probably, and another week from port to TI, so we're still well within their time frame.
 
my guess are, i would give 3 weeks at sea, they travel at a pretty low speed. maybe a few days at customs to play with our new toy, i hope. a week by truck and a week to sort and check serial numbers... etc at TI warehouse. thats almost 6 weeks.
