My tracking # actually works now. The order has been processed and is now at UPS facility. (Just picked up) Still no delivery date as of yet. But until today, it said the # didn't exist. So knowing its on its way, makes me feel better.

I got ripped off by a site called SurplusStore. I ordered a 10 piece Cordless DeWalt (18 volt) kit for $500 (normally $1,100 at HD or Lowes) . They didnt take PayPal?? (Yes, that was a Red Flag in hindsight) But the deal seemed to good to be true... Only took the GreenDot (prepaid, buy at Wal-Mart, etc). Well.... Guess what??!?!?! Yep, got ripped. Site was a giant scam.

Lesson learned. Only Pay with PayPal (and only after other buy from them ;) )

Lookin forward to this little gem coming in the mail.

My tracking # works, but the item still hasn't arrived at UPS's facility. So a shipping label has been created, but no netbook is in UPS's system yet.
I just emailed justdeals. We'll see what happens. They say "you get what you pay for", but I hope that I get something...
 
Same thing happened to me. For a week. So I filed a claim with Paypal and they finally took the things to UPS the next day. Or they took something to UPS.
 
My package (whatever it is?) Is in transit for almost a week. Scheduled to be here on Thursday July 5th......

Having a tracking # and also showing that it has several arrivals and departures, makes me feel better. At least I know something is coming!!

After doing some reading amd research, my expectations are not really high. But for just surfing the net (Going on Hearth!) It should do just fine. Especially if I can put the Android OS in it....

But... Over 2 weeks to get ot here? My stuff from Bailey's only takes a few days... Thats with standard shipping.
 
Jagsy coulda built all of them himself by now and had them delivered...msp_flapper.gif
 
Mine is in Indiana. Had a couple stops along the way. But its coming. Got another "update" this morning.

It has departed Hodgkins Illinois. ;)
 
Yeah I looked them up. That is why I made the payment through Paypal. With a credit card.

After no response from justdeals, I filed my dispute with paypal. It'll make a nice Christmas present when it arrives.
 
Has 2 shipping days left. Scheduled on 7/5/12 (here is a small copy and paste). I think you'll get the netbook, just gonna take some time.. :(

Hey, that is where my programmers are from.

Mine has been transferred to the local post office for delivery (according to the tracking number).
 
Mine says its delivery date is 7-5, but yet it has been sent out of the Mansfield UPS today at 8:39 am. All my packages come from the Mansfield distribution center. I may get it today! !! Yeah!...!...!

Still looking forward to getting the little Doo-Dad. For $40, its gonna work fine for surfin the Hearth........
