Jon,

I ordered mine from www.jamestowndistributors.com , size 10-24 FSSTN102. I ordered over the internet and it took 3 days for them to get to me in Canada. No ocean to cross but still a different country. I can't see it taking 2 weeks to get to you unless they ship by rowboat, with a one armed rower at that.
Thanks to Steve Murch for passing the info on the supplier to me.

Good Luck,

Ken

: Hi Jon,

: Hmmm.

: Depends where you are, In sydney I'd try Whitworths, they're a boating
: accesory mob, have a look in the yellow pages. Whitworths usually have
: outrageous prices and I'd only use them as an absolute last resort (if any
: Whitworths people read this, instead of sending me a nasty email, try
: lowering your bloody prices instead!).

: I order a lot of stuff from different suppliers as part of my job, so I can
: tell you from experience that it will take six weeks minimum, if you order
: through blackwoods or someone else and they have to ship them in.

: Your best bet would be to order them direct from a supplier in the US. Don't
: pay extra for air frieght because all mail coming from there (I'm thinking
: A4 post bag size here) gets shipped by air whether you pay for it or not,
: at least that's what the postman next-door says. It'll still probably take
: 2 weeks to get to you.

: hope this is some help

: Paul
