SRY is taking orders

[keangkong]

If you're in the testing server there is a joinable test for the SRY black-cap R30. You can buy from the US warehouse and get it tested on the cheap. If you're not in the server, the results are usually made public 30 days after we get the results.

I’ve begun the process to join PTDS.

Affected by the US Postal Service and the new import policy, the shipping channels from China to the United States are now completely suspended. Therefore, some orders that need to be shipped from China before the Spring Festival will be delayed. We will coordinate the shipment from the US warehouse as soon as possible. We can refund the products that are out of stock in the US warehouse. In addition, we will suspend receiving US orders shipped from China from today. If it is resumed, we will notify you in time. Thank you for your understanding and

support.@everyone

Due to the increased shipping costs and difficulties, and limited inventory, we are planning to increase the prices of all products starting at 9:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) this Friday. If you need them, please place your order as soon as possible, while

supplies last.@everyone

It will probably take a bit for them to figure a way around this. They’ll first ship to Moldova or some country that isn’t be monitored closely right now. That’s why this whole thing supposedly to shut down the supply of fentanyl is stupid. If people work hard enough to to get around the controls, they will. We can get around them. It’s a little absurd to think that the cartels can’t get around this. I do not for one moment minimize the deadliness of fentanyl and similar drugs. I’m criticizing using ineffective means to deal with the problem.

I think there's always been a blur with some of these vendors between domestic and CN. Product enroute to the US may sometimes be sold as domestic even though it's not on US soil. This "cush'' of items in transit allows the cash to keep flowing and new orders being created. This would explain the long lag times between "label created" and actual movement. Anyone with a USPS account can create a label to appease a buyer without having a package to send. I had a label created by QSC in early November that to this day shows no movement.

If overselling domestic supply is a strategy it works. I paid for my 1st QSC order only to be told it sold out and I could increase my order to CN MOQ for free shipping. Turned a $150 domestic order into a $300 CN and gave them a large window to deliver. I was happy with double the deal and in no hurry to get it but based on the fact my order was placed/paid/address confirmation email rcvd moments after the promo was posted I definitely felt like it was a bait and switch.

I think all of my CN orders (QSC, SRY, AMO, +) have had a US origin. I assumed a large parcel gets drop shipped in the US where it's broken down and all those USPS labels get affixed. So maybe the USPS part of the process is after the product is already stateside (?)

I had an SSA package that was labeled as shipped from China. Fortunately, SSA did such a good job with it that even though it had the green tape indicating a customs inspection, I still received everything ordered. With SRY I did do a domestic order where they created a US label quickly. Then I had to wait over a week for it to show up on a tracking website. I thought at the time that even though they said I was ordering from a US warehouse, it must be coming from China. Since my order did arrive, I’m not actually complaining about SRY, who I continue to use.
