Something is not right with banggood and shipping times..

Yea, I think you’re right. It is indeed a gamble and I have been lucky. I’ll wait it out for another month and see if it arrives.

one BG i always pay a little extra and go for priority direct mail, thats usually way faster and comes with tracking and u avoid the customs from chinese sellers since it doesnt look like its coming from china. Good thing u are atleast covered with paypal even if they make u wait another 25 days u can do a claim longer then that.

Funny you mentioned that they changed the shipping date. I just went back and noticed the same thing. A package that already shipped , has a “Shipped date” that suddenly changed and a tracking number that showed up. I chose shipping without tracking, so I wonder what that tracking number means.

Did Banggood send me trash instead of a Samsung 30Q?

After 20 hours of charging, the brand new Pink 18650 one is still dead 0Volts,
I tried to reposition so the button top gets good contact, switched sides etc…

The red one is a salvage maybe 15-20 yeaars old and charged no problem and shows 4.13V on a multimeter,

^ I recall reading recently about this, and I believe there was a very thin plastic film around the pole(s). You might want to check that out.

Can the positive pole be a thin transparent film?

/\ …… Yep…. it is so thin you can’t really even see it. But it is there! Ask me how I know… :smiley: . :person_facepalming:

.
Sooo, it is not dead caramba. The charger has never recognized it because of the thin plastic & no charging has taken place in all those hours of sitting there. :wink:

God bless you all!!! you are all right and it is so thin it would’ve never crossed my mind.
Now she is charging like a happy puppy.

Five days after escalating the paypal case regarding the L6 I received from banggood paypal is still waiting for their reply.

Good!! :+1:

Banggood shipping to Australia was very good. About 2 weeks.
Now I have 2 orders supposed to have shipped on 03 Feb & no delivery as at 15 Mar.
Definitely something going on with their shipping.

weird, do u even have a tracking number or is it free shipping ?

On February 20, I ordered Amutorch X9 on BG. The flashlight has not yet been sent. When ordering it should be sent in 11 working days, then it was not in stock, then shipment in early April and now is not in stock again. :rage: The last few orders are disaster. Several months of waiting :person_facepalming:

yeah something is really strange i dont know how to explain it seems like a rollercoaster if certain items are in stock or not…

I also had an order and i had notice the “processing” take longer than 24 hour. So i decide to contact BG via email. Well, they response back which mean they had good customer service. About the item, they tell out of stock and ask to wait to 20 april. Then they ask me to choose whether to wait or refund back. I choose to wait. For me there isn’t issue here, YET! I guese had to wait this date: 20 april 2019 and let see if they really hold their word. Because if they don’t, “risk is high”.

My biggest issue lately is “tracking” - yeah okay haha. Shipped on the 5th March, and still not a peep on any tracking sites whatsoever.

Hover over “Shipping Info” in My Orders and get “No Tracking Number Available”, but if I go into the order, there’s a number. Riiiight.

i have an order that is soon almost one month old, its shipped long ago with priority direct mail but still tracking number shows nothing,

Order Placed Date: 2019-02-28 07:10:27
Shipped Date: 2019-03-03 13:49:41
Expected delivery date:
2019-03-23 13:49:41

and my latest order after that i will probably get soon, this doesnt make any sense to me :person_facepalming:

The shipment item has arrived at the country of destination.,The shipment item is under transportation
Mar 21, 2019 12:45
The item is on transport to the country of destination
Mar 19, 2019 16:31

Yeah, kind of useless. This was part of a split order, The first part shipped out on the 3rd arrived on the 11th and tracking worked-ish (not on their site, had to go to postal.ninja/en/) ; second part shipped on the 5th and not a peep.

Sigh.

sent them a ticket, order placed feb 28 and shipped march 3 should have been here long ago with priority direct mail, unless they messed up and shippied it with standard free shipping then i will get mad…
