I went to check on my order, and there was a button there, says something like “process faster” or something like that. Clicked it, said it was successful. Don’t know what it did.
Nothing. Just like those buttons at crosswalks you’re supposed to press to make your light turn green faster so you could cross. Just keeps people busy thinking it’s making a difference.
Hmmm, dunno. GB is still sitting on the order, took my cash, still didn’t even hit “packed” let alone “shipped”.
Anyone have theirs on the Slow Boat™ yet?
Mine hasn’t moved yet. To be fair, when I ordered mine it stated it wouldn’t ship until March 28th to the 30th. So I wasn’t expecting it to ship earlier than that. I figure I will get it by the 4th of July.
Nor my 2 I ordered 2 weeks ago.
Mine have not shipped either but I did not expect them to as it was listed to ship between “CN-099:Ship between: Mar 28 – Mar 30”. As was also mentioned above.
Hopefully that will not get pushed back & they all will ship.

I ordered one on the 13th and now it says order not found! however they found my pp payment.

I think you are right. I checked my order again, and the button was back.
Hmmm…. I just got a shipping notice for two of these I ordered back on 22 January. They were back ordered since then.
So hopefully the ones we all ordered more recently (myself included) will be shipping very soon.
I hope so because I ordered a bunch of them.
Same here for order from 13/03

Yep… $14.87 atm, and IIRC it was bumping $16 yesterday.
I’m not ashamed to say I have 15 that have not shipped yet & I am definitely not cancelling anything. I’ll be happy to get my grubby little paws on them. I figure I can sell 6 or 7 of them & that will pay for all 18.
I was serious back a while ago when I posted that I was seriously impressed with these and I thought they were the Best Knife Deal I had ever come across.
If, and I am hoping they are; they are the same quality as the first one I got… this will be a BIGWIN!!

Brissie International pretty easy compared to a lot.
Just make sure you put EVERYTHING with a blade on it in “luggage”.
I’ve brought a few things in. Mainly Chef type knives.
and never had a problem yet.
Lost a coupla nice Puma’s over the yrs though.
Forgetting to take out of pocket b4 embarking.
They said nada.. about my 4 × 1 ltr bottles of Taliskers “Skye”
Single Malt. Duty Free. Nectar………
What a waste! Could you drink at least a half bottle of the Talisker before they confiscated them?

1 package/6 GoComma knives arrived today.
The fit n’ finish & quality appears to be the same as the first one I got a ‘couple’ months ago.
Blade very sharp & as stated before, a so-so clip.
Over the next few days I’ll check the ‘edge holding’ ability of the blade.
So far so good on this batch though….
Oh yeah, 12 days by China EMS ePacket. Not bad at all.
Shipped 3 April, delivered 15 April. Shipping was $1.15 for this package.
FYI…. my shipping experiences have been:
China EMS ePacket / Paid-FREEsometimes = Pretty fast delivery (P or F)
Belgium Post / FREE = Pretty slow
Belgium Post / Registered (paid))= Pretty fast slow
Netherlands Post / FREE = Not to bad
1. “Pretty fast” = 10 – 14 days
2. “Not to bad” = 15 – 20 days
3. “Pretty slow” = 21 days & up

Yeah, I got in 6 of those little “Damascus” knives last week. There was no FREE option on that order, the only option (besides DHL) was Belgium Post Registered for $3.31. It is tracked until the USPS gets it, but no USPS Tracking; it just shows up & signature is required.
Tracking updates after it is delivered on the “generic tracking sites.
Best I remember FREE & ‘Slow’ Belgium Post requires signature too.
‘To me’, their is no rhyme or reason to any of this shipping stuff… .
I think it is an absolute miracle any of it gets here as quick as it does… or at all.
It looks like a logistic nightmare ‘to me’.

Mines too. Seems so…
FIAT LUX!
As of 2am central time mine claims as shipped as well. Now to forget about it for a month so it’s a surprise when it shows up.
"Everywhere I go, there I am"
Sorry mate. that came across wrong.
They said “nothing”.. not no… about my 4 × 1 litre bottles.
Not my language. Nada is NO Apparently??…. Drrrr.
1\2 a ltr bottle of 46 Proof Taliskers or anything else. at the end of 40+ hrs travel.
I’d get taken home in a jar.
Way to go though hey. Beautiful drop if you like Scottish Island (Skye) spirits.
But burns a touch without a little ice in there.
The fit n’ finish & quality appears to be the same as the first one I got a ‘couple’ months ago.

I got one of the Belgian Post ones, probably the slow one…
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
The other 3 of mine were Free Shipping. 2 Netherland Post & 1 Belgium Post.
All 4, including the 1 I got today; shipped 3 April.
3 started “moving” immediately. The Belgium Post package did not start moving until 8 days later… 11 April.
There was no choice of ‘carrier’ for FREE Shipping… it was just assigned by GB.
On the one that came today there was no choice of FREE… China ePacket was cheapest at $1.15.

Oh, btw; I went back to check & had to edit my post above.
FREE Belgium Post & PAID Belgium Post REGISTERED are both equally slow.
That has been my experience so far anyway….
