I looked over my receipt from SaferWholesale, and somehow it had my Gmail email address on it instead of hotmail. I almost never use my Gmail acct, so maybe their form auto-filled it in. Anyway, I opened the Gmail acct and the bike shipped on the 31st. It says it shipped out of Atlanta, so it must be the distributor that I communicated with in the past. If anyone is looking to save shipping costs on one of these little beasts, pick-up from Atl is probably a possibility. Shipping weight is listed at 300lbs.
