OOPS- made a page 2!
At any rate, it looks like they should be shipping out to me sometime after the 26th as an FYI. Sounds fairly concrete now.

Don't be too surprised, the amount of people who do their own brake work is probably not that high. And then the people who do their own work and would rather repair than replace the whole assembly is probably even smaller.
If these work out nicely I'll list them on my site to get some attention for them.

SUCCESS!
The Boots are in at my supplier and in his words, they "Look Great."
I have just sent him payment and I would think that I would get them later this coming week. From there I will ship as quickly as I can as I know that some of you are waiting on these. I will ship as I get payment, not in a lump, btw.
Soooo...I will now accept payment from anyone who wants to send payment. If you prefer to wait to see pictures of the actual items posted, that is fine with me too. I am not here to screw anyone over!

I can send payment as soon as you have them for pics!
Nothing personal, just like to see what I'm getting
Do you know if these will be available in the future as well or if this will likely be a one-time deal?

My supplier bought the bulk of what was left at the manufacturer- they will likely be available for a short time unless he sells them to a retailer of some sort...
And NO HARD FEELINGS on wanting to see them prior to paying. I know what it's like to be on the other end!

YES. Shipping to Canada no problem. $5 xtra for basically any number of boots should do it.

Mine arrived today and they look fine. Of course I won't find out how good they'll fit till the next time I do a brake job and notice one ripped but I won't wait till then to leave you positive feedback
Thanks, Marc

Hello again!
Just wondering if anyone has installed/used the boots they purchased from me as of yet? I've gotten very little feedback from anyone on the product. I hope everyone received their boots in good shape and that everyone is satisfied with their purchase! Mine worked GREAT.
PLEASE chime in and let me know if you would everyone!

Mine went on great other than the normal fighting you have to do to get the second boot installed and then getting the outter lip flipped into the groove on the slider properly!
