May I ask what the codes were in your tracking number? ie, was it LK........SG? Or something else?

Did your order update in tracking or not?

I'm from Illinois too. I wish my order was on the same plane as yours. I ordered on the 25th. I'm not complaining as long as it comes before xmas. I think that has a lot to do with people worrying about their packages. Some people bought xmas presents hoping 4 weeks was plenty time. Xmas won't be lost if my order doesn't show but it would be nice to have the couple kits to give out.

Now instead of just saying its being returned to sender it says this before. In Error (Use Cache). Has anyone had that? Looking it up I cannot find how it relates to tracking info

Not sure if it will help but have you tried restarting your computer?

 

[patrao_n]

Lmao no I have not. But I am on my note 2. So I doubt restarting the computer would work. Maybe I should restart my brain:sly:

Lol I didn't even see the "Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk". I just thought maybe it was your computers Cache that was full or something. Thought it might be a easy try to reboot.

Yes I have seen that, but it was on the 17track website, is that what you are using? If your package is going SG then 17track will not track it.

 

[patrao_n]

My package is going hk. And yes it was on track 17

F5 for refresh or CNTL/F5 full webpage w/o cache refresh

You don't have to reboot silly

Thanks.. Learn something everyday. I just always rebooted if my computer started acting funny (not very often). I honestly don't know much about cache and what not. If my computer has really gone haywire I just do a format and clean install. I am more a hardware person. Been building computers since the mid 90's and mine is water cooled with 16TB of hard drive space for media. It doubles as my PC and media server which drives my Theater room and acts as my whole house DVR. Outside of that the workings of windows or any software confuses me. I just know it is 1's and 0's.

Wow Soup, sounds like you could mine Bitcoins with that setup

You have got to be my hubbys clone. TO this day I can't play a DVD or Movie without getting him to set it up. He complicated the home theater to the point all I can figure out how to do is turn on the TV and Cable box.

The Difference is he did it with a Mac + a stupid number of external drives.

It's just a media server and a web browser for me. It is hooked through my A/V receiver which allows me to browse on a 27" screen or change inputs to power my 3D projector in the Theater room. All the bedrooms have desktop style computers that can access the media through the network so I don't have DVR's or cable boxes to rent. It has 2 dual TV tuners to record everyone's favorite shows. It runs 24/7 and I wanted it to be quite so I water cooled it. Other then the media portion it's just a basic compute in a big tower case with lots of 3 and 4tb Drives. Windows is on a SSD drive. I'm proud of my setup but it's not the latest and greatest out there.

Who know's maybe I can MOD it to vape off it While watching the big screen. I will have to think about that one for awhile.

I have to setup the movies for the theater room for everyone especially the 3D movies. The kids can work their little media PC's in their bedrooms just fine though. They are 14 and 17 though. It's just the added A/V receiver that confuses everyone here. It's one change of the input well output really and it's all the same.

Does your Husband run any media software like MediaBrowser to work as the front end sort of like a DVR would use Moxi or something to browse media stored?. It makes things easier to Organize and locate on a large number of drives.

Sorry for getting off topic! I will add that there is still no movement on my packages since the 5th when they started showing Despatched to USA. That's a long flight and or slow check in. Maybe they should remake Smokey and the Bandit but this time they have 7 days to get to FastTech and back with the rich mans favorite MOD.

17Track does track SGP. However, SGP does not always work. It tends to be overloaded, so that 17Track shows an error. Just be patient and refresh the tracking in a couple of hours. It's a problem with SGP, not 17Track.

I did make a promise never to mention shipping again... oh well, the next post will be about stuff...

I have no idea anymore what he is running. When the whole thing went into needing 4 remotes and more than 20 button presses I pretty much tossed my hands up in utter confusion. So now I flip on hte TV and find TCM and call it done. I don't watch any of our vast collection

waiting on some nemesis magnets, kayfun lite, and been waiting about 2 months for 2 orders, batteries and driptips

nice. a 510 to 510 connector

I am personally starting to get more eGo threaded clearomizers because they feel more solid, don't wiggle as much, and won't strip out the 510 connectors for my larger tanks...always good to have backups for your backups of your backups!

Now this is interesting

Those flashlights that have that stupid 3xAAA batteries...sleeve to convert it to use a single 18650...
$0.99 3 x AAA to 1 x 18650 Battery Converter - inner diameter 19mm / outer diameter 22.8mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have a couple with those stupid 3xAAA batteries. Then I went out and bought a few similar to this

$5.47 UINFIRE B68 Cree XP-E R2 240-Lumen 3-Mode Zooming LED Flashlight - 1*AA / 1*14500 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

1 AA battery. The thing is bright. Last a decent amount of time. It has 3 settings (not sure if the 1 I quoted does) high, low and flashing. The best thing is 1 AA battery. Considering we have 50 on hand at any given time... We should be good.

It came in very handy the last time power went out for 5 hours. Very small form factor and everyone in the family had their own light.
