Update: thanks for the phone number, CFB (and Taupo). Called the E desk. Yes, confirmed as E, package was already requested (even though I rolled over to E mid-week last week), and should be mailed out this week.

The nice fellow (Edward) couldn't tell for sure whether it would get here (NZ) by 9 June, but his supervisor (he went away to ask) thought that it probably should.

I trolled around the archives for this forum and found that a lot of people had experienced delays in getting their E kits this year, so here's hoping that doesn't repeat itself.

Also, he couldn't provide a fax, and indicated that it was probably unlikely that other res systems would have my *G status. However, my experience is that at least NZ retains it. Not sure about SQ, though, although I'm not sure about a lot of things with SQ (they're a world to themselves). Seems like a printout of the webpage is the best bet, if only to get the dialogue going with someone.

Will post if I receive the kit before 9 June. Start the countdown timers...
