Its the waiting that kills me

tweeker · Oct 11, 2008

Well as some of you know I sent my 6p back for an exchange, and after I didnt hear anything I contacted la police gear and they said it takes two weeks to process it. TWO WEEKS! I finally got it in my hands, only to be parted with it the same day. I have had the malkoff m60 sitting in the box it came in for the past week. Hopefully it will be here next week. Its going to be another long week...

Two weeks - you want to try ordering something from DX !

Easy guys... he's merely expressing the pain flashaholics experience when jonesing for a new light... FLASHLIGHT WITHDRAWL!!! :faint:

And the wait? Oh man even a week feels like an eternity! Like a kid waiting for Christmas morning! :party:

I've been waiting on my Heliotek for d**m near a week now and I'm getting twitches under my eye!!!:laughing:

I just hate waiting for a light I REALLY want!!!:sigh:

10 weeks is my record for something from DX :popcorn:

I've found that the best cure is to order more often. Whether it's flashlights or parts, I try and make a least one order a week and keep about 3-4 projects going at once. :naughty:

Of course doing this I have already reached my Paypal limit in less than a year and now have to go through verification. :broke:

Oh man if your idea of fun is twiddling your thumbs for a few weeks then be my guest! :poke:

All kidding aside, it is quite exciting to expect something in the mail... patience will pay off. :popcorn:

"patients grass hopper"

FWIW I have waited 20 weeks from DX, but that is fast by all accounts :laughing:

My best advice is do not follow tracking no's once I followed a package online it read: your package has been delivered in Mexico "WTF" I live in the UK. :crackup:

That package did arrive some eight weeks later,but by that time the technology was old hat and I had to go through the whole process again.

So you see being a flashaholic is all about waiting,more waiting and waiting some more

The waiting and dreaming is half the fun....after waiting for the postman and finally getting it your hands, playing with the new one and then the excitement wears off. I am back on the forum looking for yet another light to order and waiting again for another fix. :sssh:

Soon

Just to spread some good news to balance out all this waiting for deliveries....

A couple of weeks back....

Surefire E1B sent Friday, from New York, regular mail.

Arrived Spain...... Monday morning

It beat my previous trans-atlantic delivery record which was sent from Canada on a Thursday, arrived on the Monday.

That little snippet of info doesn't help any of you waiting for your orders, but I just thought it would cheer you up.

Or get you fuming, but either way.... :nana:

I've always got a few things coming in the mail. It never stops. But when open that mail box at the end of the driveway, and it's only got lettermail in it... well... it's a huge let down. :mecry:

UPS tried to deliver yesturday but secretary was not in and front door of the department was locked. Expecting about 5 to 6 lights today. Kind of got bottlenecked up from the weekend.

I love it when packages arrive ahead of schedule ! :thumbsup:

Woooooooooo! Package day! Got 3 stuffed into the mailbox! My NEX arrived, a green lithium glo-toob, and (thumbs down on this last one): a tube of lithium grease -- it was supposed to be silicone grease. We shall see what the ebay seller does about that. I imagine nothing.

Meh, still happy, I got my NEX! Wooooooooooo!
