I have 2 orders in with dealextreme.com [for console repair parts] that were placed back on dec 23rd and jan 3rd. and while I realise that the holidays have something to do with the delay, I do find it rather unacceptable that the 1st order (which was then separated into 2 orders by their fulfillment center) hasn't moved a bit since being accepted and dispatched back at the beginning of this month.

this is the latest information for the 1st part of the order that was placed on 23 Dec.

I don't remember ever having to wait this long for a parcel to make its way to the states before.

I'll give it until the end of this week and if I still haven't seen an update with anything hitting u.s. customs then I'll contact them. I'm just a little anxious because I've had 2 DSi systems disassembled and sprawled out on the living room floor awaitiing the upper displays and kingdom hearts shell replacements for what seems a very long time.

DX always takes like a month from ordering to receiving. Same with Focalprice and ebay items from Hong Kong or China.

I hear you on that!! I ordered spares last week of December and its scheduked for delivery end of this month. Mega pain, but it does save some pennies if you can wait

DX doesn't really have the best customer service either.

I have 2 open tickets with them that I've gotten ignored on. It kinda sucks.

Plus I just got something yesterday that I ordered on October 16th 2010. And it was broken.

Most shipping from China will be delayed because of the bad weather. Shipping to USA, Austrilia, UK/ Europe will be badddly delayed by the bad weather. Make sure that you place your order early. Chinese lunar new year holiday will begin from 25th, Jan. Most factory in China will stop to supply. Workers are very busy to buy ticket to go back home. Everything will be get normal after 10th, Feb.

Do not trust the tracking. 3 packages that I've already received say that they are 'in office of outward departure' still in China. The tracking is unreliable and stupid.

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day

    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol

    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem

    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
