It might even be worth just putting through a large pot order at some point and stocking up. $0.55 is unbeatable and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of pedal parts companies stocked up in the same way.
They're these ones:
as opposed to these:
A lot of people rave about the solid shafts because the tags are "easier" to solder to. I have no problem soldering the others. I just make sure to apply a piece of insulation tape to stop the circles on the top grounding out. I quite like making a right wire loop around the prong and soldering that.

Checked paypal after making that post because I was wondering the same thing. Says 'completed', checked the details and it has further detail for the withdrawl from my bank and the currency conversion, but not the futurelec payment, although that does also say 'completed'. No change at the futurelec site. I'll give it til post doogfest to follow up.

So it turns out the order hasn't shipped because an LED isn't available. Not just any LED, but the superbright bass boost transparency BLUE LED. For a big company their email service is pretty good. Fast response and they gave me a last of alternatives as well as an estimated wait if I stick with the mojo choice.

haha.. fair play. You can get those here at Maplin though dude, they're not expensive. I'd remove it and get them to ship.

Yeah for sure. I'm going to switch to one of the other colours they offered.
How long did it take to ship for you?
