Hey guys, I recently ordered an Acekard 2/2.1 from realhotstuff.com (with free shipping) . They received my payment about a week ago, and my package hasn't arrived. I live near Vancouver, Canada, and was wondering what could be taking so long? Anyone had any experience? Thanks.

It's going to take more than a single week to reach you.

IIRC, RHS is located in California, and you're from Canada. It's going to take more than a week to ship it over the border and get it through customs.

I thought RHS was located on the East Coast of the U.S. or am I thinking of a different store.
nah, RHS is definitely east coast. New Jersey if I recall.

The problem is definitely not RHS, it's your customs department. RHS ships your stuff the following day after payment is made, sometimes the same day, if you pay early in the day. It's definitely your Customs Department slowing up the delivery. They are a top notch seller!

@everyone: RHS.com ships from New Jersey.

you would input your tracking number into www.usps.com. they will only track it until it crosses the border. then you should be able to track with your local canadian post. if you don't have a tracking number then you can't find out where it is.

I ordered from RHS last week and received my order in Colorado in a couple of days. Be patient with the customs time suck.

it should take about 2 weeks to cross the border. canadian post is notoriously slow at the border. but i would wait up to a month before i started to complain to them about it.

Ok, I'l see. Do you know any good sites with nice shipping time to Canada?

china to canada might be a little bit faster. for some reason us-to-canada always takes a few weeks. i've seen packages stuck at the border for 2 weeks. trying to recommend a good chinese run shop these days is rather difficult for me. i haven't kept up with it, so perhaps the community can better answer your question.

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.

    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
