So it looks like everyone has had a GB nightmare :(
Mine is just starting :( All ready the order page shows 2 items not the three I ordered.
A week later no movement on the tracking # :(
At least their consistent, Consistently Bad!
Well I'm hoping for the best for my first & last GB order.

And we're gonna listen to this every day for the next two months (till Steamer gets his order).

Are you saying I complain a lot?
Every time I place an order from China, I expect a loss. You never know whats going to happen with orders from China. Only reason we/everyone buys from there is a cheep price! I was going to buy the VT75 nano here in Canada to the tune of 160 bucks Canadian Dollars with tax and delivery. I got it for 91 Canadian bucks from GB :) The 2 supremes (23 mm) here in Canada were over 100, got them for 71.
No matter how long it takes I saved close to 100 bucks on this buy!
Even if it takes 5 or 6 weeks, the price was rite :)
I was just asking for others experiences with GB cause I never dealt with them before.

Steamer - steamed??? No way.
(I dare you to ask him about shipping times/price from USA to north of the border)

Don't get me started on the shipping! You's know I have the worst luck in the world when it comes to Shipping!
Seriously GB made an offer I couldn't refuse, Did I mention I'm a sucker for a good deal! :)
Plus I had my eye on both those items, Darn shinyites :)

Any one have any experience with Gear Best? Just wondering what their shipping is like?
I ordered a few thing last Friday, they sent me a shipped out email the very next day!
I thought this could be pretty fast :) now all most a week later the tracking # says electronic info sent by shipper :( Is this going to be like a FT thing, minimum a month before I get any thing?

Any way would just like to know of any ones experience ordering from them.
I thought I knew better than to order from China again, But! these darn sales get me all the time :(
Hope your not having batteries shipped...a friend just had them turned back by customs at NY

another thing...make sure some kind of tracking shows some movement..I had an order that took them 2-1/2 months to finally agree it was never actually shipped anywhere...stuck at prepared for shipping mode ....I did eventually get it but not without a bunch of canned responses please be patient horse hockey back and forth till somebody would actually look into it and actually shipped it again
all that said Ive ordered stuff from them dozens of times and got satisfaction everytime, just some alot slower then others

@Steamer861 I ordered the same nano mod from Gearbest.. shipped on the 14th and CP's site showed tracking on the 15th.. now the 16th says it was picked up by CP in richmond,BC.

It now has a long trek east which could take 4 or 5 days.. imagine 2 day's from China and more than 2 times longer to cross Canada..

edit.. expected delivery by CP 26th sept.. go figure!

This is my 3rd order from Gearbest.. I try not to order from them because as Mike has said they lack a coherent order and shipping system..

The first order was batteries that got caught in that no-ship bats with Post NL at the end of Feb.
They re-shipped by express post, I found that out when it arrived, they never informed me of the problems they were having.

The last order I made they broke it up into 2 shipments and it was not clear they did that.. I had to email them and after reading the answer 5 times, I decided that the item being less than 10$ I would just wait .. and 3 weeks later it showed up..

I payed the extra for express and insurance which they say guarantees that I will get it.
I decided that was the only way I could deal with them.

So like you I bought the deal.. I do not go to their site, saw it somewhere else..

BTW this post was my experience with Gearbest.. Yours can different.. :)

Thanks :) for your experience
My order was broken down to 2 packages, one has landed in Richmond today :) CP web site says ETA 23rd, I'm also way east of Richmond.
I'm hoping both my packages are together? The one that tracks is on track for 2 weeks total time from China, not bad :)

You have to keep in mind, PG, here in NJ we have "amenities", at least that's what a real estate agent told us.

Beef, today, is nothing like the beef from a few years ago, like 30 or so, unless you're willing to pay ridiculous amounts for it. We have yet to find a good, reliable, source of meats after ten years of looking. The same is true of produce.
Hey there Awsum how's ya been !? Felt for ya when I read this.... too bad you don't live just down the road here. I could give ya a sample of good beef. I'm lucky and thankful to live and have been raised on our small-ish family farm and have a pasture and feedlot with currently about 50 head of beef cattle. Get one processed at our local locker plant every so often. And when prepared right.... boy you talk about some deeeee-licious burgers and steaks. Crap, hungry now. Gotta wipe my own drool off keyboard and go set out a couple T-bones to thaw.

FDA Cracks Down on Online Sales by E-Cigarette Industry

''The FDA said that, between Aug. 8 and Aug. 31, it completed about 8,700 inspections of “brick-and-mortar” tobacco retailers—including vape shops—for sales to minors. It issued 400 additional warning letters related to cigarette and smokeless-tobacco sales.''

how much manpower does this take? :?:
