I chatted with Ray & he stated my order would ship in 5 days due to an out of stock.

And theres a good chance it won't arrive via. DHL either.   Based on my own experiences.

Normally its just in a box wrapped with 10 gallons of tape and looks like it dropped off a bus or something .

All my orders have come DHL and they usually call you to make sure you will be there. They even rescheduled to come after 5:00 to accomidate me.

no matter what i choose for shipping, it always comes DHL

[taybrynn]

That's wild, cause I pick dhl every time, but it's only arrived dhl once.

Mine have always come from DHL and I cannot believe how fast from China after you get the shipping notification. It has been at the most 2 days for me.

Its funny because when Ray shipped me my replacements for my older style nodes for the new ip68 ones, I was tracking them and they left Hong Kong, Hong Kong and 4 hours later arrived in Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Then left again and arrived in Hong Kong again so I was imaginging someone in a Rickshaw running back and forth across the city. But when it finally showed it arrived in customs around 2:00am up around Ohio or someplace like that, it was already on a truck in OKC out for delivery by about 8:00am the same day.

the hong kong locations are the stops making it out of the country DHL likes to land in Cincinnati as it's a "port" that's not used as heavily as the California coast, or new york city, so things pass through customs quickly.

Thanks guys, I wasn't getting my hopes up but now I am expecting these things tomorrow...

Less than 48 hours from shipping notice the stuff was delivered from halfway around the world.  Thankfully the missus was home to sign for it.  She said there's "something with all this tape on it here for you".   

Kind of amazing when you think about it.  Might call Ray on his cell and thank him...  Oh wait, it's 4:30am there   

Time for me to cut out of work...  It's RGB time.  (Relaxation, Grub and Beer)

Amazing how you can get stuff from around the world in half of the time that you can from across the country or even the state! 

Have fun with them and let us know what you think!

Packing was great.  No issues with shipping.  Still tinkering but its safe to safe all appears functional.  Went with SS, 4led square modules, and some dumb SS.  That controller is wicked cool!  Man the fades on program #78 on that thing are as good as incans!  2 thumbs up for Ray.  Only problem is I can't get this stuff to blink with lynx setup yet no matter what I do.

What dumb ss did you get?
