I ordered a couple of these clocks - Very FB! A couple of notes though:
1) Tell them you saw them in catalog #L1C1-1894 and the shipping cost will
be waived ($4.95 for one, $5.95 for two).
2) Mine arrived with dead batteries. When I called customer support they
told me to go out and buy replacement batteries and send them a copy of the
invoice for credit.
