Hi! just ordered a KoAloha tenor from mgm , i heard he is fantastic, and his service has suggested this. not too sure when this is going to arrive. ordered it on 26th, no idea how fast express international mail travels!

CANT WAIT! worried about postmen dropping it and it sitting in a hot truck somewhere!!!! stressing out.
 
and I just ordered a heaping plate of envy from Uke87. Congrats, and post pictures when it arrives!

That's wonderful, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on saving up for it... that makes the purchase so much sweeter. :) Can you get tracking information so you can make sure you're around when the uke gets close to arrival?

was it packaged well, and was the acclimitization really neccessary? im too excited to wait!
 
Enjoy that tenor. I'm sure you're going to love it. And yes, let it acclimate. It'll only be a little bit longer, and much better safe than sorry. :)
 
Happy Strumming
 
Aloha Uke87,
Congrats on the new Ko aloha Tenor....I feel for your wait...Once I sent a package to Australia and it took 30 days to get there and they told me it went by plane and was there in 4 days...must
have been in customs for a long time.. not sure what's the deal... Anyways have fun and enjoy.. Happy Strummings Brother!!!! MM Stan
 
It was packed very securely -- no need to worry about shipping damage. As for acclimatization, it's really tough to know if it's necessary or not for this Uke. The KoAloha doesn't have a thick glossy finish so I'm not sure that there would have been issues with finish damage. But ultimately I agree with those saying "better safe than sorry". Particularly since you saved for so long to get your Tenor -- an extra 24 hours isn't so bad. (Easy to say from my perspective now that I'm able to play mine... :p)
 
You will be thrilled with the uke and the service that you receive from Mike.
