DealExtreme - man these guys are slow

[Kloan]

6 days since I placed my order and it STILL says "Waiting for Supplier".....

How long do these guys normally take?

 

[HumanSymphony]

Tis quite typical

i bought a laser module from them and they sent me dust caps instead

and the caps cost 3 dollars less and the shipping took 3 weeks to come, so im never doing business with them againn

 

[Kloan]

geeze... that sucks ^^

hmm... i wish i knew these guys took so long, i would've ordered elsewhere... i've got batteries, charger, host, and dust caps on order. i can't do anything without this stuff..

i hate waiting.....

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Good luck finding prices like that elsewhere.

YES! DX PWNZ! Usually gets to you in 1 1/2 weeks once it's shipped. Phenomenal prices! General rule, don't buy something from DX if you really NEED it

 

[Bionic-Badger]

Yeah, and the selection is good too--lots of hard to find gizmos, parts, and other good stuff. I remember paying like $30 for a Luxeon ultrabright LED and lens, whereas on there I could pay like $10 for both.

I'm also impressed by their customer service, since it's quite good for what I was expecting out of an overseas company like that.

So really, if you're too impatient, go somewhere else and pay more for better shipping and service.

i agree prices are not only hard to beat, but hard to resist as well....

guess i just have to suck it up and play the waiting game like everyone else.... i know, i'll just keep shopping online to kill the time.....

I also have quite good experiences with DX, ok they are slow (expect 3 weeks between order and delivery) but the prices are great!

My last order (it was quite big, maybe around 10-12 different items) took a month from order to delievery(spell)..

But it's cheap..

i think i have the record of over 3 months from ordering till shipping

My quickest time from order to ship was about 2 and 1/2 weeks using EMS express.  And on my previous order I put the order in on the 20th of January and I got it about the end of February.   They are very slow, you just have to be patient.  Try and forget that you ever ordered them... that's the only way I can deal with the waiting.

I had a backorder of a flashlight that I got literally 6 months (or more) after I initially ordered it. I got the shipping notification on my email and wondered what the heck was going on since I didn't order from them in a really long time. Sure enough a few weeks later I got the package and realized it was a backorder that just took forever to get back in order. Hey, at least they sent it ;D Cause I totally forget about it.

Yeah, they're slow, but awesome. Some products are too cheap and are therefore cheaply made. I've had a LOT of stuff I've ordered work only for like a day or two. It's too much work to try getting a refund. But aside, MOST of their stuff are great!

Man... i ordered two 14500 batters and they sent me a rubber lizard and frog, they did finally send the batteries and i did get to keep the frog and lizard

 

[BuildAbluraylaser]

I've bought a green laser module and it's still at "waiting for suppliers". The ETA of it is april 2, and then they have to ship it...

 

[Kloan]

i cancelled my order.

the best part? i have to wait until april 11th to get my refund... these guys are something else.
