Sorry mods for the double post, but I wanted to bump the thread so that anyone subbing to it can see the new information I have on the Windsor split:

So, Jeff has yet to get back to me, however, he did give me the tracking information of the Windsor flacon a week or so ago that was coming from dcmasta. According to FedEx, Jeff signed for the package on the 12th of December, so 3 days ago. Even if he is not communicating, if all funds are the same, I would assume he would have everything decanted and sent out within the next few days.

Keep an eye out for any packages just in case he never responds or gets back to me personally. Also check back here as I Will update with more information if I get it.

Got some bad/frustrating news guys, I'm sorry to say . I shipped the flacon before going on vacation to the BVIs. While I was down there, I checked my email on a pc in a random bar and it said it was being held, unable to pass customs until more info was given. I forwarded this to Jeff, and had to leave the bar... Unfortunately, I was unable to get the info while I was down there, so it was returned to ME ( ). I've got the info I need now (flashpoint) so I'm waiting on the OK from Jeff on whether I should send again. May just send it tomorrow anyway... Sorry guys!!!

I swear this is pretty much the worst of all situations that could possibly happen with this split. I payed back in like September, and now it looks like I won't get it until January. Come on.

Any chance of yet another Tobacco Vanille split to keep this Canadian warm before the upcoming winter? (actually a very mild winter so far...but I still would love some TV!)

Sorry I haven't really been active on the forums lately. Lots of holiday stuff going on here, but at least I'm done with school for the semester.

Dcmastah said that he's going to try shipping it again as soon as he's able to.

As OctaVariuM said, this really is the worst possible scenario. We're trying to get it done, but there's just a bunch of random delays (in every single point of progress). I do want to thank you both for your help with acquisition, shipment, and updates.

Jeff

P.S. I'll be opening some splits again either next week or shortly after New Year's.

I know I'm not Jeff, but I'm almost as good :P.

I asked him a few days ago and he said the guy from Canada has the flacon again and has not been able to drive it to the post office for the last week or so due to one reason or another.

What!?! This just gets better and better. Has Jeff sent him the funds yet? Can we just start the refund process?

I'm not really sure what the process with the money is, since I generally don't ask out of respect. I do agree it has been a crash course in everything awful that could happen, but it's definitely not his fault. NM not having it after a back order didn't help matters, nor did the package being sent back to Canada.

Good news, everyone!

Windsor is SHIPPED!! For the second time..!

Long story short, I was on vacation when FedEx tried to contact me for more information on the package (flashpoint, dangerous good info, etc.). I have countless reasons/excuses why I couldn't make it to FedEx, working a ton, christmas crazines, etc., but I hope you all can be stoked that you all have what may possibly be the last bottle of Windsor sold. Hell, this was shipped from France to my local store in Toronto because we were all out in Canada as well. If not the last bottle sold, likely the most travelled bottle..! haha

Fingers crossed for this shipment. I included all of the information FedEx told me to get from Creed (at least they were fast!) and am available for contact in the next week while it goes through customs so all should be well. Please forgive Jeff and I, I know at least for myself this has been hanging over my head for a long time and been stressing about getting it to you guys! I would have returned it a long time ago if I did not really want this fragrance myself after smelling it, and to share it with the rest of you! Happy new year all, hope this post relieves some of you!

I talked to a rep and Windsor is discontinued. So, this may be the last bottle ever being split!

That said, I want to see a TF TV split.

I just got my bottle of Windsor this morning. Just wanted to say "thanks" to dcmastah, and of course Jeff, for your persistence and patience to make this one happen. As we are spoiled by and accustomed to, the packaging and labeling are impeccable. 8)

Got my Windsor last night as well. Thanks everyone, though I am not sure it was worth the near 6 month wait. Not sure any fragrance can live up to that.

As far as I know he was waiting for the end of the Windsor split, since he wanted things tied up before offering anything else. I'd assume we'll see stuff within the next week or two.
