This package is screaming toward it’s destination…………. me. … :innocent:
I hope the address label does not burn off from the scorching pace here in the home stretch………
Funny that you mentioned Banggood yesterday (thank you ). I had forgot to check on an order the last few days because the Tracking Number never worked. I checked and it said “Delivered”. When I got home, sure enough it had been.
But the Tracking Number never worked one time until the package was delivered… yesterday.
The shipping was Priority Direct so I paid a little. Very little. :+1:
But the way I count it, that is 14 days for paid shipping from Banggood .
But in all likelihood, if all continues on schedule; I will have the package Referenced Here from GearBest in 11 days.
It was paid Priority Shipping also.
So while that may be your experience with GearBest & Banggood… it is certainly not mine with Priority Shipping.
And certainly not “Banggood Free” beating or “being on par” with “GearBest Priority”.
It has never happened “for me”.
And my findings are not based on one or two random orders.
They are based on many orders from both vendors covering the last several months.
Below is the Banggood order that was delivered yesterday.
Not to shabby in delivery time either… but not on par with GearBest. <span class=“experience” “my”>
@teacher - Interesting, your paid shipping experience with Banggood doesn’t seem any faster than my free shipping with them.
Still waiting on my Eagle Eye E2R from gearbest ordered on 2/14 with free shipping.
Anyways, on a brighter note my Lumintop EDC25 arrived today! I had to mod it with a little slip of paper to work with protected cells, but now it works great! In my opinion 5 brightness levels is too many for this light though. Also, the tactical mode group isn’t useful to me.
Used a small slip of paper to cover the copper plate in the base so the battery wouldn’t contact it, connecting the spring and the plate, bypassing the switch:

Well, in the interest of honesty and full disclosure………… tracking has “gone dark” since This Last Update
This did happen once before when IB handed it off to the USPS and they seem to have never enter it in their tracking system. But in that case it was delivered anyway without delay.
Soooooooo, if I don’t get it today; it may well be summed up in the words of Apollo 13 to Ground Control: “Houston, we have a problem”. …
Oh well, some days you are the windshield and some days the bug.
Some days are diamonds and some days are stone.
Sunset today may well tell the story if my package is indeed on track or getting a free paid travel extravaganza to who know where???
.
Stay tuned for breaking news………….
Teacher,
Mine shows the last five events nearly exactly the same as yours.
USPS Tracking shows:“Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS AWAITING ITEM”
This as of March 30.
BTW, I have a sister who lives in Birmingham. Roll Tide.
So I owe this thread an update - after a month and a half, my Eagle Eye X2R order arrived yesterday! Nice, well-built light! I love the simplicity of the low-med-high modes. Only downside is that the plastic flap over the USB port feels a bit cheap.
