Yeah, I had that "Pre-info" too. it was 3-4 weeks stalled in "Pre-info" phase and then it just vanished from USPS system. @CarlosO, @Philip Fennell and others, we really feel you guys.

This happens when I don't get a receipt on international shipments when I drop them. I have been trying to get a receipt and watch them scan the packages but around the holidays the line was out the door and around the block at the sorting facility near the Atlanta airport. I have a trace on Philip's but have yet to send CarlosO's- very sorry but I am going to upgrade you to the new Pro and get it out this week - I thought yours had gone already. I will make sure I get a receipt when I drop it which will be tomorrow. Concerning the usage of Pro vs. Standard - the Pro does all that the standard can do with more power for acceleration. The new geometry of the flukes makes the '15 Pro great for hydrotouring so I am thinking of discontinuing the standard - plus the spring and peduncle of the new Pro is far more robust.

Neat video Doc. I'm anxious to hybrid the '15 peduncle with the '14 pro flukes.... Have you done that combo?
Nice freestyle from your son too!
FinSailor, time eventually solves rib problems. I have some broken enough to overlap in a wreck in a blizzard... I remember that conversation with the doctor.... He offered nothing but time. I wasn't too impressed.... And it took years for the injury to fade into the past but it has.
CarlosO, Sound like you are tuned in. Please let us know when you get one.... How it goes.

The 2015 is a better fin than the Classic. Bigger flukes but a more balanced fin than the 2014 was. Chip, I have tried the 14 flukes on the 15 peduncle, and they didn't work better than the 15 flukes for it. I think it's because the '15 parts are engineered to work together. Works ok with the classic flukes, as in previous vid, but better with all-2015. Here's a vid:
I think it's time for me to publicly express my frustration regarding the 2015 Pro that I ordered back in June 2014. I have been calling Ted almost on a weekly basis. Last contact I had was over the phone around Dec 18 and this (one more) time my fin was supposed to ship before Christmas... but never did. Looks like a never ending story. At least some of you have received a a pre-shipping data.
Still waiting since february 27th 2014. My Lunocet pro was actually shipped many times according to Ted.
I hope I get the latest version though.

Hello guys,
I ordered it and paid at July 1, and I got tracking number last month.
But USPS status is still freezing.

Today, Ted says "It should be there any moment...... If you don't see the package by Friday I will do a trace."
Hmmm let it go. The cold never bothered me anyway.

My God the number of postal workers finning their cares away in Georgia should show up on national news before too long...
Well, including myself that's 4 orders outstanding by 20-40 weeks, 3 weeks after "all orders older than 6 weeks have been fulfilled", Ted. Would you care to revise or amplify your statement before some enterprising individual gets a notion to put together a bussed tour of Lunocet production?

The ones who have received tracking have shipped regardless of what USPS tracking shows. I have explained their not scanning issue. I wish there were a cheaper service or even close to what USPS charges for shipping such a heavy package. Icthys, I have sent you several private messages trying to help get you sorted - please respond. There have been only two packages in the last year that were lost by USPS -several have arrived without the tracking ever becoming active. I know it has taken a long time to get through the backlog but I am gaining momentum. Sorry for the long wait.
Counting myself I make eight people waiting, that I know of, plus @Chipswim that's nine. Whilst Chipswim volunteered to go to the back of the queue, on account of having more Lunocets than you can safely wave a stick at, I certainly did not and neither, do I imagine, did the others in our select group.
Whether or not the fin itself is, or will be, successful I don't know but the process which we have gone through this last year has, for me, tarnished the thing to such an extent that I asked for my money back in December at which point I was told it had been posted and that I wouldn't be disappointed...
Well Ted I'm afraid I'm already disappointed and more than a little because for the lack of timely and, some might say accurate, information people get upset, angry and a general feeling that the treatment we've received is, to put it mildly, insulting.
Your problems may be genuine and if it’s making life difficult then I’m genuinely sorry but believe me that you not communicating these things to us in a timely fashion is making it an order of magnitude worse for us.
Sorry to hear that - the screws are m6 x 16 mm long. The nuts are m6 lock nuts. Let me know if you can't source some and I'll get you out some.
This is the first I have heard of this happening - are you sure you got the bolts good and tight? - if you would like a torque spec - 80 in.lbs. for the fluke bolts.
@pheadra2b,
if u got problems, tell me I´ll send you some! it`s not so far between you and me, and i do know a lot of shops around here ...between Muinich and nuernberg- Ingolstadt-
