Hertzian56 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Ordered my 8gm ram stick 11 days ago, the seller somehow thinks printing a label is the same as shipping, and very unfortunately decides to use the lovely USPS for shipping, first acceptance scan 4 days later at what they like to call a distribution center really a scan, photograph and otherwise snoop facility. Was supposed to be here on the 22nd according to their own website. It's "First Class" Package so you would think it would be on time but this is USPS bizarro logic which seems to make package delivery on time very hard, unlike ups/fedex etc And the "holidays and covid" excuses just don't cut it any more sorry not buying it or drinking the Koolaide, enough of those types in this sinking ship. It's been "in transit" since then, but of course I could pay for more detailed tracking to tell me it's not here, scammers over there. I've had several problems with USPS not doing it's job, this seemed to start with trump, who once owned a money printing enterprise called a casino that somehow went under (probably just a money laundering scheme btw) appointed "dejoy" who is really just a name changer, lots of those in schemes, as USPS CEO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you order it from? It would be better to buy it from Newegg, Amazon and some other reliable places. USPS is bad but not that bad for a package to take 11 days.

Already did, got some snotty reply about how they have the same info I do, since they said shipped within 24hrs of payment, which seemed to them to be the same as buying a label online instead of at the post office and thus no tracking scan until 4 days later. After a day, (about day 6 after payment), or so got a full refund, didn't ask for it though. Still sitting in "moving through network" as of now been that way for a few days now. Who knows.

Tenoroon Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Recently had my G14's screen broken by a kid at school. The kid ordered a new 120hz screen since it was about 3 times cheaper than the stock 60hz one I had. The new 120hz screen uses a 40pin eDP cable instead of a 30pin cable. I ordered a 40pin cable off of ebay and they shipped me the wrong one! It's not even a 40pin cable! I asked for a return within about an hour of the item being delivered to my house, and the company said that I would not get my money back unless I had this dumb warranty void if removed sticker on the cable, but there was never a warranty sticker on the cable! I really hope I can get my money back. I just need this damn laptop working and to be shipped the right cable. I'm just tired of ebay being completely dumb and always having to follow the rules and being screwed over in the end. I understand it can look like I could have swapped cables out, but I don't have any leverage since I can't prove I didn't do it. This is just dumb. If only that company would have shipped the right cable; I don't understand how they could have even messed this up this bad...

Kitje Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 When sites mislead you in the end. Recently I deleted my photography account because of the imposed limits that were never announced, UI changes that were never announced and more of my photos were "under moderation" for basically forever. In fact, none of this was mentioned. Who ever knew it'd have 200 photo limits for a "lite" account? Then adding NFTs, then giving it that cryptocurrency user interface. Nothing on their blog mentioned this. Forget it, account deleted. There hasn't been any other site to sell them without having to pay monthly for a "pro" account. If a site prohibits me doing something I want to do then I have no desire to really continue it. I don't think I'll hold on my cameras for much longer either. Same goes for my lenses. Probably would get more for that than photos alone.

Eban Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I am sad My Alienware 17 (R1 Ranger) is slowly dying. For about 2 years now the right side USB ports just havent worked, no voltage at all. I tried a new board (usb, rj45 daughter board) but it didn't resolve the issue. Tonight the left side front usb port stopped recognising USB sticks and portable drives (in windows and BIOS). It will still power the laptop cooler which also has a usb mouse attached. Left side rear port works fine. My Father gave me this pc new shortly before he died, so the sentimental value is great.

Sounds like just a snowjob to me. Inflation has been going on for years and years but it's hidden really, housing alone is a terrible example that's low key. I mean quantitative easing is inflation on a massive scale. The dollar store is now the 1.25$ store now, +25%, oh but they're not changing their name of course. I noticed this first at walmart about 2 months ago usually in the 5-15% range but have noticed in other things I have bought there a 45-100% price hike. I've adjusted in food items going to regular supermarkets which are actually cheaper as well as non food items going to second hand stores. These mega retailers already made huge profits off of the previous prices for years and years especially walmart, the china store, so it's even more egregious. After all the terrible things of the last 2-3 years these guys have no problem further sticking it to everyone. you can find items at electronics dollar store for $1 exampe dollar general and family dollar...but I agree its getting wors everyday...
