Following the money....

As I did while working, I routinely follow payments. I mailed my final check on Saturday, 26th To Escape with tracking info requested. Today, 29th, it is leaving New York via airplane to parts unknown. Once another update is given I'll post....

I paid via 2 international wires.

The first one took 5 business days to be credited to ETI, the 2nd took about 6 hours..?

I have sent wires before, but the cost of 2 stamps is minimal compared and there is no rush for payment.

No rush?

Well, I didn't pay anything, other than the deposit, until I saw production pics. And my delivery date is very soon so there was a bit of a rush. I worked in the International Dept. of the originating bank many moons ago as well.............

Also, ETI suggested against the postal service:

"Another option is a Cashier’s Check, Bank Draft, etc. from your bank and sent to us via courier of FedEx or UPS so it’s guaranteed to get here in time. We don’t suggest to use the postal service as it can take over a month."

Just curious, is that a personal, certified, or cashier's check?

Mine was personal. I realize there is about 14 days turnaround but my completion date is not til May and I did sent it "tracked" so I can trace it.

Perfect, easy to cancel/void if it does happen to get 'lost in the mail'.

Congrats on your impending pick-up and Osoyoos Rally trip, I'm looking forward to meeting you!

We sent checks via UPS. Cost about $60! But 8 days later I saw the check clear in my account, so we should be good to pickup in a few weeks.

I'll most likely be spotted wearing a well-faded John Deere cap
