Quickest and most reliable Gearbest shipping method right now: America Line / IB

Yeah, mine is (was?) in Huntsville, too. I’m just more curious than anything else at this point.

OK, I thought it was; but I was just checking to be sure.

Yeah, that is me too; just curious. I still have a feeling ours are on the same truck traveling together to who knows where?? :slight_smile:

I did notice one oddity on my Tracking . Mine shows it was “Received” twice at the Huntsville, AL warehouse… 13 minutes & 6 seconds apart.

Does yours show that too??

That makes me wonder if mine got misdirected somehow into something outgoing… or something weird that did not take it to Birmingham as usual. :smiley:

And again, like you; I am just curious……… :wink:

Ah-Ha! Teacher, International Bridge tracking shows my package was scanned at Birmingham TODAY at 18:32 hours! :+1:
I had stopped checking IB when I thought the USPS was handling it. This is the first activity since 30 March.
My package was also “received” twice within 10 minutes on 29 March.
Hopefully your stuff is riding with mine and will be in your hands soon.

Well, that does sound better spinynorman. :wink:

Check this tracking out on mine….

I guess they went to Redstone Arsenal & strapped my package on a rocket & shot it to B’ham. :smiley:

We will never know, but I bet if our packages could talk they would tell of a most excellent adventure these last four days…… :smiley:

Let me know when yours actually arrives & I’ll do the same. :slight_smile:

Hi spinynorman. …. IF all continues on schedule, I should have mine today!

Well, well……. finally The Eagle Has Landed

This was on track to be another stellar deliver by way of IB.
It still was not that bad, especially since there was a 4.4 day period that was a time warp.

Let the good times roll…………… :stuck_out_tongue:
:wink:

Good deal, Teacher! My package also left Birmingham at 5:30 AM, this morning. Since you didn’t get my package as well, I guess they finally parted company. USPS tracking tells me to expect my stuff on Thursday.
Not too shabby given the shennanigans in the other GB order thread.

Yep, I think our packages “Excellent Adventure” together is over…. :smiley: If only they could talk………. :wink:
Nope this ain’t bad at all really, just those 4.4 days are a mystery. Which is no big deal in the big scheme of things…. I am just a curious one who would like to know what the deal was. :wink:

If your package gets lonely, I’ll send it a picture of mine………… :stuck_out_tongue:

Take care man and hope yours continues on schedule. :+1:
Certainly do let us know.
:slight_smile:

My February 13th order was finally received today. The last tracking update was on February 23rd when it “arrived in the US”.

I had no idea that the free shipping could take this long. I will pay for the upgraded shipping in the future.

Bob

Glad it showed up Bob……… :+1:
:slight_smile:

My package arrived safe and sound yesterday, (a day early by USPS estimate). I wasn’t looking for it so I didn’t get to the P.O. before it closed. Picked it up at lunchtime today. Not too bad, I thought. I’ll use the upgraded shipping option again on the next order. :slight_smile:

Here, here!!! :beer: :beer: Good to hear…… let’s have a beer. :wink:

My light sends best regards to yours……. :smiley:

I will to, I think I am just about to pull the trigger on another Lii 500 charger and a couple of other little goodies. :slight_smile: … I’ll be using the same shipping as last time also……. :+1:

Let’s do another GearBest Shipping Reliability Test…… :wink:

2017-04-08 15:59:35……Order was placed with GearBest

I wonder if my Jetbeam E10R is getting dizzy…

Probably, it looks like it was trying to go back to the “homeland”. :wink:

Admittedly, I haven’t read every post in this thread, but here’s a couple more GearBest shipping data points.

I placed an order on 10 April for an Anet A8 3D printer kit, a Convoy L2, and a couple of LiitoKala 26650’s. The printer kit and the light had the option of “DHL (HK)” for only $10, so I did that, but had to choose “US Registered” for the batteries ($5.84 shipping).

The printer kit and the torch were delivered on 14 April!! I didn’t get a shipping notification on the batteries until the 17th. Seems to claim they were shipped on the 11th, but, naturally the tracking number still doesn’t work as of today.

I’ll use the DHL option whenever I can now. That was really quick for the money, and the printer kit was an absolute steal.

I haven’t had an order disappear yet, so I’ll still use GearBest even though they aren’t the top of my list.

UPDATE: Another successful GearBest delivery using “Priority Direct / USA Express” shipping option. (International Bridge)
13 days total from China to Alabama, USA.
I am once again a “happy camper”……. :wink:

Another fast delivery by GearBest using “Priority Direct / USA Express” shipping option. (International Bridge)

I just had something delivered today. Took 8 days total from the time it was “awaiting airline inspection”. Southern California using Priority Line IB.

Order was placed 4/19, it was awaiting inspection 4/20, received 4/27.

I just noticed that you have the exact same order and delivery date as me. Funny that it worked out that way since we’re on opposite sides of the country. In my case, the product was delivered to LAX. Once it is in the hands of USPS here, it gets delivered the next day for me since they transfer it to USPS Priority. Kind of crazy that they are able to ship it that fast for that cheap considering how expensive USPS Priority is locally.
