Anyone have contact wiht 4080 enclosures lately?

RESOLUTION:

The box was shipped THE NEXT DAY! (no tracking info was sent, but that's forgivable)
Ainslie got back from business trip (my assessment in the first place) and communication is now very good.

So what happened?
The guy at the front desk of the apartments received the package, never notified my wife, and even when she went to pick up other packages they didn't find the rather large, 36lb box with her name on it.

In case anybody's thinking I got bought off for silence or something crazy like that, UPS tracking number 1Z81E1F90370987735 can prove it.

I'm glad that these great enclosures and the guy making them haven't been discontinued.

I ordered my box a couple weeks ago, got a very fast response to find out whether it was full-size spare or mini-spare in my trunk, but haven't heard anything since.

Now, 4080 Enclosures has been doing great boxes for us G35'ers for years now, so I'm not going to go crying scam or anything, I'm just wondering if anybody knew the reason for no responses to e-mails for about a week now.

Not sure if Ainslie Fukuda's out doing a big car show or something, just curious if anybody knows what's up.

I'm deployed right now, so calling him up is a fairly expensive proposition that I'd like to avoid.

I don't have a comment on the box, but I did want to say thanks for your service to our country and be safe out there. When do you get to head back this way??

Just curious, what is this "box for the trunk" that you speak of?

Great box, searching for 4080 on this board will show how many people have them. I want one too.

I've been "out here" since new year's, and I'll be on my R&R in a couple weeks, which is why I need the box there for the rest of the install that's going down.

How often do you have to go to your spare tire?
I've got the passenger side box, it's really not a big deal to put in or take out.
Great stuff. If they are getting harder to find, I'd probably want to ****** up a driver's side box as well.

If you can't find anymore boxes, I can give you the name to the guy who did mine.
