hi andre,

their address is:

145 Tyee Drive
Pt. Roberts, WA
98281

their phone # (call before going down to pickup) is 1-360-945-0515. you
dont have to call them to warn them but its a good idea to get the ebay
seller to address the package as follows:

YOUR_FULL_NAME
YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER
145 Tyee Drive
Pt. Roberts, WA
98281

putting your phone number on there allows for confirmation that it is
indeed your package.

cheers,
nitin
