DHL lost my In'Ax Carto somewhere -.-'

They're "investigating" and are supposed to be calling me Monday. Their records are showing it was delivered yesterday and that I signed for it, even though I didn't sign anything and obviously didn't get my package.

Absolutely gutted. That was all of my spending money for quite some time :/

I don't know if this applies to you but DHL hand to a local contractor in my area and when that handover happens the contractor signs. So it gets flagged as delivered then the contractor gives it one of their numbers and delivers next day.

I hope it turns up for you.

I was thinking this, but I contacted the local contractor (Speedee Delivery?) and they had no records of DHL delivering it to them. They said this happens all the time with DHL to them :/

Me of course....

Actually, I've been out of commission since early Dec. and it's taken this long to figure out what's going on. I'm used to starting the day with a 90 min workout and thought I'd strained a hamstring which eventually spread to waist down, both legs - kinda made it hard to walk. Went through the steroids and physical therapy before they found a spinal stenosis. Surgery was to be happening next week until I got the flu - see the Dr. next week to get clearance to reschedule.

Mercy, I haven't done a discourse that lengthy for a while... 4 months in on my back has facilitated my lurking though - I've been enjoying you fellow BB'rs every day. Thanks for that!

I started to say that if you just said "me" I was gonna whack ya....but I didn't so I won't..... plus you elaborated. I'm so sorry darlin. Did we know all this was going on? If so I forgot. Nothing personal, I forget everything. Sure hope the surgery goes well and you recover quickly! Hope that fixes whatever is going on, but doesn't sound like that's the only thing.

MANY mixed emotions here today.

Teach - PLEASE get yourself well! SO sorry.

Rick - absolutely GORGEOUS. And DO TELL what that tip is (echoing F2V).

 

[ckquatt]

I'm sorry Path! That sucks! I was going to gush about mine that came in today but now I just don't feel like it.

Man I hope they find it for you and lock the person up who forged your name!!

Had a brief scare when a new fully-charged battery didn't fire up in the R4... screen dead, button no worky-worky, clickety-click-click-click, didn't do anything.

Turned out the insulation wrapping around the bottom of the 18650 extended a bit too far toward the center of the negative end, preventing the leaf spring in the R4tBlack from making contact.

A little quick (and careful!) work with a knife to trim some of that insulating wrap way from the center (without completely exposing the bottom of the batt) was all it took to restore sweet, sweet electrical contact.

Just an FYI in case anyone else runs into this.

Cheers!

person who forged your name!!

Unlikely.

It's not an uncommon occurrence for this to be a "mixup in the system".

Happened to me once by ups. Well more than once, but the one time was late evening 2 days before Christmas... a $600 gift for my son. (So on that level of severity, yeah, once.)

Dispatch (and/or all the different extensions they put me through/to) claimed all kinds of knowledge no doubt generated by tracking/scanning/logging equipment. When coupled with the supposed signature they were well and bound to deny my claim and accused me of fraud several times throughout the day. Said it was definitely delivered to my front porch at XX:XX hours that day.

Funny part, I was sitting under the huge bay window overlooking that porch through sheer curtains with 2 bright porch lights on and one hell of a porch alarm for a cocker spaniel tucked firmly under my thigh.

Fat chance, UPS.

The vendor was ready to overnight me a new one for first thing Christmas morninh and deal with UPS himself the next morning. It was blatantly apparent this wasn't his first time dealing with this.

Next morning, UPS came early bolting down the street, skirched to a stop in front of my house, high tailed it up to the porch double time, lofted the package near the door and booked it out of there winding up half way down the street before I could get to the door less than 12' away.

Didn't wait for the necessary signature.
Didn't ring the doorbell as customary.
Just got out of dodge before someone could identify him.

When I called the vendor, he had to race across his warehouse and pull the replacement off the truck he was sending me. He apologized and thanked me up and down for being so honest.

----------------------------------------

Also... people sign anything. Doesn't have to be a word, name or signature. Just a digital or analogue ink mark. And anyone at an address can "sign" for a package. No reason to forge a signature.

----------------------------------------

Best of luck with the package. It's heart wrenching when you're really looking forward to something. Especially something of value and meaning.

I'm sure it is a mixup. Was just emoting that I'm standing with him and hoping for a just outcome. I'll try to be more clear next time.

No worries.

I get caught up on a detail and ramble on somewhat coherently sometimes.

In this instance my mind was set to not let someone get worked up on conspiracy theory package theft ideas as they sit, wait, battle and think about what may have happened.

Likely that wasn't going to happen anywho.

I'd invite you in (my head) to see for yourself. But it may be too dangerous in here.[emoji38]

Rick - absolutely GORGEOUS. And DO TELL what that tip is (echoing F2V).

The drip tip is a whistle from Hellfire. They make a Ti one (mine), black or white delrin. I have all three and really like them.

Side note: I don't think the Mistery works with a Rev4. I built mine tonight and the drip tip adapter (special one it comes with) doesn't appear to make good contact with the atty making the DNA to keep saying check atty. I have a message into Helmut to see if I am doing something wrong.

Built the Ina'X carto and it works a dream on the DNA40. 2.1 ohm @ 11 watts never tasted so good

My guess is the opening at the top of the Rev3 was larger allowing drip tip adapters to "countersink" into the mod where Rev4 is not this way.

I may have to search for that tip, Rick, thanks. And I hope you can get the atty worked out.

They very rarely make it to their website. Your best bet is to join their FB group and jump on them once posted there.

 

[Katdarling]

Thank you, Rick.

glad you figgered it out and it was something simple. Good to know.

Jup, I have fairly nice handwriting, but NO ONE could ever prove that anything I've ever signed on one of those electronic thingies was ME signing it!! I think a giraffe could do a better job.

And the crowd, it did not cheer, but it understood; so it clapped politely.

Teach, not happy face here. Wow, that is a LOT to go thru! Wishing you the best for a super speedy recovery!

Get well vibes winging their way

Thank you all for the thoughts... No, didn't mention it Deb - been a lot better things to read about here than this- you're memory is as good as ever (not being judgemental).

The pain has greatly reduced with physical therapy and I even get to drive one of those scooters at the grocery store... all things are not bad - got my daughter married in Jan, kinda got my taxes started, and I'm getting the hang of doing things from a desk chair (wheels are useful things!)

Things could be a lot worse... look what happened to Pathology! Lost vapemail!!! and a quality package to boot!
