I pretty much just collect Fat Raps. Among Fat Raps, the SFR-7 is probably my second favorite model. So when a limited edition of the SFR-7 in six colors was released in 2012 in Asia, I had to get a set. My first 2 tries were unsuccessful. I had a couple of good, reliable sources, but for whatever reason, the package didn't make it either time. I was able to get my money back in both cases, but I still had empty spots in my collection for those six lures. 
Well, a couple of months ago, I thought maybe the third time would be a charm, so I ordered a set from another source from whom I had just purchased and received a couple of other items.
A log of the package's travels is included below. After much waiting, the package made it to Des Moines, IA (which is a little over 100 miles from where I live) back then went back to CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD (which is over 900 miles from where I live). Talk about a tease! When I saw the package was in Des Moines, I thought I'd have it in my hands in a couple of days, but no, I had to wait. The address was my older address, and, as I found out later, it was on it's way back to Thailand as being undeliverable! Fortunately, I called my local post office before it left the US, and got the address fixed.
Today, after about two years since I first found out about the new SFR-7, the package FINALLY arrived safe and sound!
