mine was shipped the next day, I ordered at night, and I got it on friday.
really quick.

Delphinus 11-17-2010 04:09 AM

Aw nuts, mine just got bumped to Friday now. Bummer. C'mon, UPS! Ship them boxes, rah rah rah! Yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Coleus 11-17-2010 04:12 AM

well just check the UPS tracking and all my shipment is in Redmond WS. The delivery date got reduced from 22 to 19. However, yesterday it reduced from 22 to 17 which gave me a false hope to get my stuff tomorrow.

jorjef 11-17-2010 12:13 PM

Mine went from 22nd to 16th on Monday to 19th yesterday to the 17th this am ....lol oh well, it will arrive sooner or later.

Coleus 11-17-2010 09:28 PM

UPS is teasing me or some thing. 22nd to 17th then to 19th and now down to 17th although my packages are still in BC at 3:40 AM today. Don't think i will get them today

I picked mine up from the US and brought it over myself. Maybe that's why mine was so much faster?

Milad 11-19-2010 01:59 AM

i just got my UVL bulbs and they all but one had crushed ends :(
now i gota return them and get new ones, this sucks. their packaging was great too, i dont see how it got crushed unless it was already crushed before it got to me.

Delphinus 11-19-2010 04:52 AM

Man they like toying with us with the package tracking. All of a sudden the two tracking numbers I have no longer show an actual estimated delivery date (just not there period). At least the packages are in Canada though, both of them, and show departure scans from about an hour ago so I'm clinging to optimism they might show up tomorrow.

Not pleased to hear about the broken lamps, that sucks dude, sorry to hear it. :( I ordered T5's as well so it will be interesting to see how mine show up.

I bought some bulbs from them before and everything were good. Sorry to hear and hope everything works out.

My package is still in Richmond so i don't think i will get it tomorrow

Coleus 11-19-2010 03:35 PM

Coleus 11-19-2010 04:06 PM

Zoaelite 11-19-2010 05:10 PM

Now I want to skip the rest of my school day and go see if my package is waiting at my doorstep.

I blame Tai for my failure at school :lol:.
Thanks for the heads up though!

Coleus 11-19-2010 05:18 PM

Rogue951 11-19-2010 05:50 PM

I believe that large package is telling u some thing... "Be In Control" of your spending.
lol

what's in there???

Delphinus 11-19-2010 06:14 PM

Good Lord that box is enormous! Ok curiousity is killing me too, what's in there?? :lol:

It's strange that I have no idea what's in it, and yet I'm jealous as all heck. :lol:

muck 11-19-2010 06:21 PM

Seems a little overkill for a pound of GFO...

Rogue951 11-19-2010 06:34 PM

Lots of peanuts.
don't want that GFO to be damaged.

Anyone else get their box completely drowned in peanuts?
I could've caused a natural disaster if the box fell in a lake lol.

The more i think of it. I was wondering because it has to go through agent, any chance the custom agent dropped it during inspection? Because the way all bulbs got wrapped, it is very hard to get damage during shipping.

Anyway, it got some minor problem with my shipment but Jon at BRS took care of me fast. Now that is a great customer service

thats what i told the guy at BRS. im like wtf, I dont even understand hwo they could have broken because your guys wrapped it perfectly. There was no chance there was any pressure put on the ends of the bulbs where they broke. it was the tips that were crushed. Not only that, 1 out of the 3 made it and they were all packed together.

inside out it was:
bubble wrap
original packing
bubble wrap all 4 together
tape the bubble wrap
peanuts
inside a hard cyclinder box
peanuts
outside box
!!!!!

basically i think it was broke before it even shipped. I got a feeling when they were putting on the bubble wrap they crushed them because i couldn't slide them out, i had to cut open the bubble.

Anyways, they already sent me 3 more but they are on backorder which sucks.

Delphinus 11-20-2010 01:13 AM

Came home to find my boxes on my step! Yahoo!!! :lol:

Zoaelite 11-20-2010 02:10 AM

Anyone else get exploding carbon?

How do you physically fill it this full, I guess I should be happy they don't fill them like chip bags but now I need to pull out the vacuum :neutral:.

Delphinus 11-20-2010 04:08 AM

Magical expanding/self-replicating carbon. Maybe they're made of nanites. Make sure not to release any of them into your computer core otherwise you'll need Wesley Crusher to save the day.

lastlight 11-20-2010 04:16 AM

Wow that's a generously packed container of ROX! The things are surprisingly buoyant too. Just a little flow in a TLF and my cup and a half sorta hovers/semi-tumbles.

And speaking of super-packaging my new Radium bulb from J&L was in a bubble packaged box that was like 12x8x8 with this little bulb box inside. Safe and sound all that matters.
