It takes a while for parcels sent from the US to arrive at destinations in Canada, 5-25 days is normal.

Can I still join?
I just posted my information on the forum. Although I have been learning and trading secrets with lots of folks from this forum, I have not been very active only from time to time when time permits...with the Christmas vacation, I thought I take some time to make myself known.
My information is as follows:
Ozzy Henriquez 1696 Springwater Dr. Orem, UT 84058 801-225-3267

When I mailed it I marked it as a gift and said the value of the content was like $25.00, a friend told me, that sometimes made it possible for the recipient to receive the package without having to pay any duty on it. I will find my receipt and call my postmaster, she can track the package for me.

The box is here! I'm sorry I took so long. We were out of town over Christmas and the box came the morning we left! Then we were home a day and had a house load of company for new years.. all was good until I came down with a gross flu a day after our company came... I think my immune system went to crud with all the late nights! Again.. I'm really sorry guys. The timing was kind of cruddy or I would have had it on Robs door by now. I hope all had a good holiday!

I've said this before so I'll say it again in big bold letters this time... I TRULY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROCK BOX BUT THERE IS NO SIGN-UP FOR THE NEXT ROUND YET.
PREREGISTRATION WILL NOT BE ALLOWED THIS TIME AND SOME RESTRICTIONS MAY ALSO BE IMPLEMENTED TO PREVENT EXCESSIVELY LONG WAITING TIMES IF NECESSARY.
I WILL CREATE A WHOLE NEW SIGNUP THREAD FOR THE NEXT ROUND THAT WILL PROVIDE DETAILS WHEN THE TIME COMES BUT NOT BEFORE THE BOX AT LEAST GETS BACK TO ME FIRST.
THANK YOU AND STAY TUNED...[/B]

It's been well over a month now and I still haven't received the rock box from Tammy. I really don't have much to say other than it's not looking too good at this point. To those who have been anxiously awaiting the next round I offer my apologies. Even if the box does manage to come back to me, I am starting to feel like two years is "term served" as custodian of the travelling rock box and it's time to pass the torch on once again. If anyone is sincerely interested in taking on the rock box program in some form and can faithfully commit to at least one full round of 10-20 recipients then consider this your chance to apply. Depending on who and how many are interested, I will decide some mutually agreeable way to choose who will be the next in line for the crown. (i'm thinking a poll would suffice) I have a whole new set of circumstances in 2008 that requires me to concentrate on other things so spending less time here with all you great people will innevitably result. I am unsure if I could faithfully uphold any long standing obligations and i'm sure there is someone who will be able to take it on and keep the spirit of the rock box alive and moving. Hopefully Tammy will eventually come through for me and I can at least start it off with a box full of what everyone has contributed and traded so far but if Tammy doesn't come through i'm afraid it will be up to someone in the US to assemble a new box and get it started again. Sincerely, Rob Gemmell

Any word from Tammy yet Rob? Thanks for all the work you put into this, it really was fun. I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
