My 3D hit New Jersey today and has a USPS tracking number now. Says it left shipping partner and is awaiting the package.

I ordered on the 27th of April. Figured I will get it mid week, next week. So not bad really. 19 or 20 days. I can live with that for free shipping. I never choose expedited shipping anymore. I get it a few days quicker but not really worth the extra money. I am also never in that big of a hurry. Now if it was the only light I had I might be impatient. I learned all those patience waiting on Ali, BG, and GB orders.

The wife ordered a phone case off Ebay from a overseas company. Had some crazy estimated delivery time of 1 to 3 months. Let’s just say my wife never really reads the details of a purchase. She just gets excited and hits the “Buy Now” button. Three and a half months and this case hits the mailbox. She had to give it away. She forgot about the order and had a new phone by time it arrived. She also had the same problem with dog collars. By time the puppy collar (10lbs) got here it didn’t even fit the dog (50lbs) anymore.

She is getting better at reading the details but, she still has new grips on the way for a gun she doesn’t have anymore. :slight_smile:

I just have to chuckle and shake my head. Greatest woman in the world. She has the ability to put up with me so, she can do no wrong in my book.

Not sure if this poll is supposed to do it or not, but a lot of email addresses and/or real names are visible when you click on the ballot report. :open_mouth:

Ahem. The first sentence of the poll description:
“Please put your forum username in the ”email address or other recognizable identifier” box.”

But if someone is so careless to enter their personal email address or whatever personally identifiable info to some poll on the internet then….

Received my FW3A in the post today. Very fast delivery to Australia as I always get from Neil (and that was the standard delivery).

10103

And here it is in the wild!

Bl**dy Yodel has lost my FW3A!

“According to the tracking your parcel has not been scanned for some time. As such I would need to request for a base search to be conducted in order to locate your parcel. To ensure a speedy process, kindly provide me with the contents of your parcel so that I may share this information with the depot.”

Anybody else in the UK get one through Yodel?

My Luxeon V triple board is waiting. I'm a bit concerned about the heat, as this light doesn't have a thick shelf like my D4 does. We'll see.

10106

Wow thats not good :frowning: hope it turns up!

Mine has been sat in my local Yodel depot since the 4th and still no delivery date :cry:

10107

Seriously, screw Yodel. Worst delivery service in the UK. They lost my limited edition Thrunite Ti at Christmas a few years ago. I’m sure the driver just pocketed it.

10109

I paid in full for my two lights on April 30th, with expedited shipping, and not had a word since. No shipping notice, no tracking, nada. Am I one of many in the same boat, or have I done something wrong? I’ve had the Order Received email which says I’ll get a shipping notice so quite surprised I’ve heard nothing. Anyone else left in limbo or am I being impatient? :slight_smile:

Hi DrHook59,
Check into your account at NealsGadgets and you should see tracking code there.

10111

Obligatory “Yay my 7A FW3A shipping email has arrived”. Nobody cares, but I’m just as excited as everyone else is!

Considering that I was quite far down the list, and the limited quantity of 7A at the moment, I’m impressed at how quickly it was made ready to ship!

10112

Thanks Jiffy - just done that and it says the order is unfulfilled. I thought you had lights to ship when I ordered, so I’m wondering why I paid the $10 expedited shipping now. Sigh. But hey, not a biggie. Still looking forward to the lights. Been a while so a little longer won’t mean a lot.

:slight_smile:

10113

That’s pretty good time to the Local Yodel Depot. :+1:

To bad the guys at the Local Yodel Depot don’t seem to be in any big rush to get the package delivered to your door…. :person_facepalming:

Oh well, at least it’s close; which is of little consolation I imagine… :frowning:

10114

LOL! Me!

10115

Aye it was very quick there. Two days from Hong Kong to London. Three days from London to local depot. Yodel’s webchat guy said:
“According to the tracking your parcel has not been scanned for some time. As such I would need to request for a base search to be conducted in order to locate your parcel. To ensure a speedy process, kindly provide me with the contents of your parcel so that I may share this information with the depot.”

I’ve contacted NealsGadgets through Messenger so will see if they can follow it up.

10116

You find that with Yodel though, the package always finds it’s way fine to the local depot then mysteriously disappears or it has been “delivery attempted” (not) then just evaporates. :rage: :person_facepalming:

I have like an 80% success rate with them, not the best for a delivery company…

But I have faith in you this time Yodel :innocent:

Yep and different Local depots at opposite ends of the country, Jiffy’s is Scotland and mine is way down in Devon
