STARTED: GBGB: Stainless steel AAA clicky with a clip (CQG S1 "clone")

Yeah for me too. They changed something in the Matrix :smiley:

It isn’t a registered mail number.

Why use a reference number in the same format as HKPost tracking? Better yet, why use a reference number? Isnt our order number reference enough??

Opened up the two XinTD X3's just now, came today - perfect, outstanding condition - no different than my IOS X3 bought long ago. It has the most stout 18650 converter I ever gotten or saw. yes, the AA carrier is the cheap kind, and weird they soldered a copper-like spring on top of the Qlite driver spring, and I can confirm with certainty they do not have an AR lens. Typical bubble wrap bag in a avg thickness box, but maybe because there were two in one envelope, they survived better - dunno.

I hope these AAA lights are packed and arrive as well as the XinTD's did. Smile

Hahahahaha :bigsmile: .

@ GearBest
My order is still processing. I emailed your customer service 2 days ago, but got no response.
Order # WW1407101902180632
Can you help me out ?

you should not ass-u-me that a “reference” number = a tracking number

( esp on a $6 item)

Seems pretty straight forward. Go to the page that list your orders. Click on the track your package "button". A page opens up that has info including a field that says Tracking Number and shows what appears to be a tracking number.

You can also just click on your order and it will open up a page that shows the status of the order. If it has shipped, it will show you tracking number. On my previous orders from GB, the tracking number was an actual tracking number. It matched the number under the shipper's bar code label. Why should I now not assume it's a tracking number?

EDIT: I think I get what you all are saying. Are you saying that the number is a reference number for the shipper (Hong Kong Post in this case), but it is not a real tracking number in that we (John Q Public) can not use it to query the status of a package?

HK post has a 13-character alpha/numeric combination as a tracking number. The one that has HK then 14 numbers thereafter are reference numbers only. Tracking services cannot recognize that.

Hi makapuu,

Your tracking number is: RS133107546NL

hope everything’s fine with you!

I got a tracking number a while ago but there is still no tracking info with the number.

WE are NOT ass-U-ming anything. HKPost has ALWAYS had HK* format as tracking, we were TOLD it was shipped HKPost and then PROVIDED a HK* number WITHOUT any information saying this is a reference number and not a tracking number. Who are we to figure out it was reference ONLY and not a tracking number like we ARE ALL USED TO! I am not going to sit there and research the history of HKPost tracking, format, blah blah blah crap! Some of us have lives and dont care to get that detailed. GearBest NEVER mentioned this so how the heck should we know? Many people have said they had the same issue as me and GB has responded many times, still not saying reference only.

Makes sense but WITHOUT being told DIRECTLY from GB, how the F are we the buyers suppsed to know?

THE ANSWER IS: WE DONT AND WOULDNT!

Except they’ve always said said orders under $40 do not get tracking unless specifically noted and HKPost does not use HK* as a format of tracking.

LOL
Tracking numbers from HK post ended with HK and never began with HK.

By the way I had no HK post parcel since months, do they still exist?

The tracking of any official post, UPU member, has XX999999999YY format, where YY correspond to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country.

Or

But…

HK* is not a HKPost tracking number.*

Always select 'Pony Express', and stock up on sugar cubes.

Ive received numerous HKPost tracking numbers rhat start with HK and also ones that end inHK. Id have to dig through last years emaisl for examples but they are there. 95% sure I got them with FT or BG orders, possibly AuraBuy orders but I did get them and they did work, even on USPS website.

EDit: they could ve “reference numbers” or whatever you guys are calling them b ut they DID work with locating tracking. Again id have yo check my emails and find one then see if its till active with traxking. Might link to the tracking number from the HK* but 75% of the numbers I entered id say, started with HK and all worked on v oth sites as stated

Hi Livinloud

Maybe I’ve recognized many times but I will still tell you the number HK* is not the tracking number but the reference number, and only if the order over 40$ will have the tracking number, or you have tick to get the tracking number when you commanded the order, and this will cost you 1.99$. Hope this response can help you with the problem :slight_smile:

Hi Livinloud. I'm with you on this. It's childish to make others look dumb and to also not help them by providing the information they need. If I treated someone like that, instead of making me feel superior, it would make me feel petty and bad about myself. Maybe it's a vicious cycle of self hate. Who knows.

All I know is that they don't deserve your or my attention.
