Hi,
I was just wondering whether anyone knows if the link "recently shipped to" has been permanently removed from the "models" pages? If so, I, for one, am going to miss starting my days checking whether there is hope of a Ric-delivery any time soon.

Removed, as promised some months ago, due to some software upgrades going on here.
Personally, I'm not sorry to see it go, as people tried to infer more than what the data depicted and some just never could seem to grasp that it showed shipments, not number of units shipped, no matter how the disclaimer read.
But I'll consider bringing it back in some form later, if and when the interface permits it.

Thanks, John, for your answer.
I'll just have to make do without these links and just wait for those special (future) phone calls.

Johan Are you talking about online dealers calling to tell you prices of Rics? Dealers, such as MusiciansFriend, offer the same service through email. But, you can always call a local dealer to see if they have shipments in.

No, he was talking about the feature that showed shipments in route to a dealer for a particular model.

Hi all,
just to put the "special phone call" misunderstanding right: The phrase refers to the phone calls I will receive from my local dealer here in Sweden when (not if) the Rics I have on order finally will have made it here and are sitting there, ready for collection. It's been three years, one month and six days since the first of my orders. "The waiting is … …".

Automated messages are so creepy... I can't imagine one saying, "You Are Rickenbacker Are Being Here In Five Days Period."
