All the way from the west coast. Seattle Washington area to Toronto Canada. Shipped Jan 2/18 and just arrived today.
On Dec 30, Mac and I were emailing and discussing few kettle related subjects. One of them was about an internal ash pan on some kettles. Same day I find Craigslist ad. for this Happy Cooker in Seattle which I link to him. Few hrs later, he sends me the WKC thread link from Jules V,s Happy Cooker score. I PM Jules asking if it was the same one and to let me know if he ever decides to let it go. He gets back to me next day with.... " yes it is the same one and is willing to let it go as he has no real attachment to it". The rest is history.
Huge props to Jules V. He went and above what is expected from other great member/agent. I've had other great dealing with other members before, and not saying this is how it should be done.... but worth mentioning what he did. He cleaned the kettle and packaged it so well it survived the long journey no problem. Shipped it right away without receiving my payment. Got me great shipping rate and ask me to only send the shipping and what he pay for the kettle charge. He told me not to send any more $ or he will return it back to me.
Thanks Jules V.!
