I started this thread so I can try to keep track of requests. Sorry, I know I have gotten several PM’s and I will get back to you. I planned on doing this sooner, but my life is been hectic the last week or so. I got these for free and have absolutely ZERO intention to make any money off of these, but I request you pay for shipping so that I don’t have to spend money out of my pocket. Please do not request them if you did not order a host.
My paypal is n10sivern@yahoo.com
Please include your forum name in the paypal comments box. If you pay by paypal gift, please PM me your paypal email and your address. Do NOT include you address with paypal gift. I don’t need Paypal taking money or suspending my account for receiving money for goods as a gift.
To US buyers, if you need 5 or less then it will be $1.15 paypal gift or $1.50 if regular paypal. Please post here how many you need. I will update the post with ones that have been shipped. Price included cost of shipping and envelope. If you have more than 5 PM me so I can check the cost of postage.
For people not in the US. Is shipping cheaper in Europe? If so, I can mail them to somebody in Europe if they can handle the paypal payments and shipping them out. Otherwise it’s $2.20 to ship paypal gift and $2.57 regular paypal. These are pretty close estimates, but if it is significant more I will let you know or if it is significantly less I will refund that portion.
I don’t know. They are supposed to be in the future orders but I’m not sure if Gearbest got their shipment to include it. I would assume that it doesn’t. If you just ordered another host I’d say you would need one for it and your initial one
My second arrived yesterday, no retaining ring in that either, as n10sivern says its prob best to assume none of gearbests will have them. Ive gifted you some money chap.
Im not sure the saving to be made sending en mass to europe for redistribution will be significant and will lead to further delay too, but if anyone in UK not in a rush you can send theirs with mine and i’ll post them out upon receipt.
Shipping in europe: I pay 1.15 euro for the stamp (if the weight is under 20 grams), 10 cents for an envelope, total 1.25 euro, is about 1.40 dollar. This is worldwide. Not a huge saving, but I'm willing to shipp them around.
I don’t mind doing this. When I talked to Uniquefire, they misunderstood. Language problem maybe. I told them early on we wanted brass pill to have the ability to solder the PCB to them. Later before they shipped the hosts out I had a conversation making sure of what all was included and I mentioned the retaining ring (they have a different name). Well, they got shipped without them. When I brought it up, they said they didn’t think we would need them since we would be soldering to the pill. I reminded them that only a few of us were doing that, the others would not be and needed the rings. They said all future shipments would have them and I believe they are sending some to Gearbest for what they have left in stock. So either language problem or Uniquefire just trying to save a penny. Either way it was a screw up and this is my attempt to make it right even if it does cost the buyer a little pocket change.
