After a week of no updates on my Rebar the tracking finally updated! Left the international distribution centre, so I guess maybe Thursday or Friday? I've never had a USPS parcel come through Royal Mail instead of Parcel Force though, I'm hoping it's smooth sailing from here on
Welcome to my world mate. I'm waiting for a package, from a fellow member in the US, which was sent on the 7th August and, according to the USPS tracking, left a "transit point at Heathrow" on the 19th August. However, according to Royal Mail Tracking it hasn't even arrived yet The last one I had from the states, from another member, took a week to get to me, from Heathrow, and that was USPS - RM (not Parcel Force)I was hoping to get the package before I leave for Italy on Friday but it's not looking likely
You're not filling me with confidence Surge, I'm expecting two tools through them Tool based package on the way and you're going to Italy? What was that address again?
Don't worry too much The delay seems to start when it lands here and needs to get from HWDC to the sorting office (via Customs charges, naturally )I'm waiting for two as well (one package though) and unless it arrives at my private, gated island community (Parkhurst ) by tomorrow then I won't see it for another week or so Thankfully, my P.A (delivery buddy) is up to speed on this matter and will look after it until my return
Don't you go mentioning custom charges to me, I was hoping this Royal Mail lark would spare me the school yard shakedown So I loaded the car with balaclava and crowbar for no good reason? Inconsiderate Londoners and their gated mansions
I've had my fair share that have snuck through without any fees, though my glory days may be behind me, I'll get ready to take a post shakedown shower That's all that's on offer? You soulless government types can't even light a candle nowadays when you violate a man's wallet and god given right to reasonably priced second hand goods?
Like a true Civil Servant; I aspire to mediocrity
This is a day late. A Streamlight ProTac 90 arrived yesterday. It is shown next to 2 Energizer right angle lights. All of them can be powered by a single AA battery, but the ProTac 90 can be powered with either an AA, AAA, or CR123 battery.(Image removed from quote.)
... Any info on the Coyote Tan Energizer? I just found the black one, and I figured at $10, it was worth trying, so I put one on order.
And uh, this old school Koehler Bright Star Workmate Flashlight. Despite high-end LEDs now being the thing, they are stil making them. Just $10 shipped and USA made. I have a thing for old-school industrial flashlights. They might be heavy (thanks to use of D-Cells), and usually pretty dim, but I like them. Plus, these are heavy enough to be used for self-defense loaded down with two D-Cells. I wanted one in black with the red bezel (to match their miner's caplights), but yellow is fine. Granddad's Koehler Wheat cap light is 44 years old now, and still works great. Albeit, I have a $20 Maglite with better output than this (even back then) $300 light, and nearly all of my flashlights in a box (barring the old school 6V, D-Cell, and C-Cell lights) don't weigh as much as its lead-acid battery pack. At least unlike my pathetic dim Fulton USGI light with a mediocre incandescent bulb, the Workmate has a Krypton bulb that puts out a decent (for around the house use) 50 lumens. I bought two at this less than $10 price. (Image removed from quote.)
