I just checked 17Track about my Land 9103...and now this...
:FACEPALM:
Number: LL*********CN Package status: Alert
Country: China -> Germany
Destination:
Origin: 2019-07-08 18:51, Return, put it.
2019-07-08 17:44, Guangdong Province Postal Express Logistics International Business Department of Tsuen Wan To-Wan Station to arrange delivery, is expected to be delivered before 21:00:00 (postman name: Luo Zheng; contact phone: 18929548751)
2019-07-03 00:09, Guangdong Province Postal Express Logistics International Business Department of Tsuen Wan To-Wan Station has received a copy (He Canji)
I guess someone at logistics really messed up with some of our orders.
I don't expect them to resend this very package to me once again. :-(
However, I wait for their response about my ticket I created via CS today.
The first one is illegal in many areas of the world, the second one is looking cheaper than any $7 Sanrenmu.
I wouldn’t waste my money for such knives with 440A steel if you’re lucky, maybe jsut 420. Or 3Cr3MoV whatever.
Do yourself a favour and buy an SRM, Ganzo or even GoComma, these ones are onle for flee markets and gas stations.

I find it interesting that a couple of the words are different, BUT besides those; everything reads the same on our 17 Track results… In fact the day & times are exactly the same. … :person_facepalming:
everything has been dispatched and is in transit to my address, goods receipt between July 21 and August 12.
they checked my tracking number once again and everything is fine
delivery time may vary due to bad weather etc.
So, I replied once again that they are wrong about the goods being in transit to my location. In fact, they have been returned before they even got actually shipped. I asked them to resend my order.
Now, it's a wait and see. I just hope I don't have say "I waited and then I saw" afterwards. :-D
It's sometimes funny what kind of translation I get for status messages.
I don't mean to be political here but obviously those guys at 17Track seem to be extremely smart...they even know that Germany has signed off...whatever that's supposed to mean.
After 76 days of waiting I now have to face the ultimate truth. Maybe I should be worried? ^:) :D
In any case, it's been a pleasure to get to know you guys. ;-)

======================================
17track is semi-fake tracking. Most of the in-between steps are generated automatically - they just take the initial time and add a series of fixed intervals.
Good news: Gearbest has shipped out my order (LAND 9103) once again. This time they used "Swiss e-packet". Unfortunately and unlike in the past, they only offer two shipping methods to send knives to Europe. Swiss e-packet is the more expensive of the expensive ones left. It's interesting, the more items you put in your shopping cart the lower the costs for shipping will be.
Shoot...I should've taken two of these great knives. I guess I'll regret it. Instead I took the Sanrenmu 6020 RUC knife to lower the shipping costs. It always works this way...in the end I buy something I don't need just to justify some more savings. :FACEPALM: :FACEPALM: :FACEPALM: :D
Oh and they didn't charge me for the upgraded shipping. They have been very kind to me, too. I got the impression Gearbest has improved their CS significantly. :THUMBS-UP: So far I can say that Swiss e-packet is very fast with only few waypoints in tracking (Asendia Hong Kong, Frankfurt customs, Hannover, place of delivery).
I have had that one for 6 months or so now. Nice knife. Well built, sharp out of the box. Takes a edge well and holds it well. It’s a bit small for my hands but I manage okay with it. I was debating on trying the larger framed one as well but, just haven’t yet. I have a Gerber Kettlebell as well which is almost the same size and design. It had a thumb stud for opening instead of whatever that hole in the blade is called. It’s a bit easier for me to open that one but the CRKT is still a stout little blade. Hard to beat a sub $18 price on it. Think I paid about $25 for it months ago.
