hm.. if theres more than 1, then i fear theres no mistake on Borderlinx part. looks like we got screwed bad by woot for packing it in a big box.

i have googled the packaging for go duster and though length may be 14 inch, the thickness and width of 2 units should be less than half of 14"

Was abt to post on this too...me too! $50! from BDX...2pcs =7.5kg...is it that heavy?

But if it is 14" cube..may be possible cos of the length...

anyone else?

:o CGW don't update the physical weight in the website.

Instead CGW will send you an email regarding how much it weight + cost of sending back to sg in usd$.

:eek: I guess your delivery must be quite expensive, so many big boxes.

My estimate is:

$50 for scooba
$40 for roomba
$20 for goduster

Thot can save on 1st kg mah. :o

Now if $150 i can laugh loh :s8: & must find any 50% promotional code for Cgw loh? Any lobang, we all need! :o

I believe it has got nothin to do with distance. See the details below fr Fedex:

Manifest ID: 2825007
Status: Sortation Center Departure
Est. in Home 09/09/2008
Date Time Description Location
September 5, 2008 11:01 PM Sortation Center Departure KENT, WA
September 5, 2008 10:05 PM Electronic Shipping Info Received PORTLAND, OR *
September 5, 2008 9:38 PM USPS Electronically Notified PORTLAND,OR
September 4, 2008 5:15 PM Sortation Center Arrival KENT, WA
September 3, 2008 12:00 PM Sortation Center Departure LOS ANGELES, CA
August 31, 2008 7:21 AM Sortation Center Arrival LOS ANGELES, CA
August 29, 2008 10:03 AM Sortation Center Departure DALLAS, TX
August 28, 2008 1:10 PM Sortation Center Arrival DALLAS, TX
August 28, 2008 12:14 PM Pickup CARROLLTON, TX

It reached LA which is nearer to Portland than Ohio and it will take 4 days for dear Fedex to deliver to Portland or 130 miles. :s8: My grandfather could walk faster.

Btw, it is only 130 miles from Kent, Washington to Portland, Oregon.

I dont undertand how it work? Esp. the *. :s11:
