I am, and I'm extremely excited. I'm getting my Mesa 400+ tomorrow. Very excited to own one of these again!
Anyone ever get so ancy that you take work off to make sure you're home for it? Not to mention I don't want it sitting on my doorstep all day.  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Chicago SW 'burbs | | | I always have my purchases delivered to my work address. Luckily they understand I don't want expensive instruments left on my porch & have no problem with getting ahold of me, UPS & FedEx are at my workplace every day anyway. I've never had a problem with anything that was delivered to my house...more problems with signature required, & nobody home...but it doesn't pay to tempt fate, IMO...

Then I made another 10 hour round trip when I sold it.

Yup I've done it myself. Knowing that UPS gets to my house between noon and 1pm I usually leave at lunch. My boss plays a Les Paul/Marshall and has no problem relating. |

| | | | Nope... had it delivered to work.

|  | Will work for groove | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Middletown, OH | | | I've done that. I've also taken time off, been sitting right by the front door, and the delivery guy leave a tag on my door. Some of them must just barely touch the door when they knock. It really sucks when the next scheduled delivery day isn't until the next week.

| | | Unfortunately, I can't have it delivered to my work. Instead I have to switch my days off and work 6 days in a row 
Oh the things I do for my gear. |

"uh, boss, I need the day off because something is being delivered to my house".
of course, I usually just have things sent to work, but for the occasional thing that is too heavy to take home on the train. |
