Who do I have to **ck to get Lightake to ship my TB dongle??

[t_jay17]

I ordered mine on the 29th of November it shipped but as for where it is now that is a mistery all it says on the tracking is.

December 05 2011 5:47 am Processed Through Sort Facility, December 05, 2011, 5:47 am, SHANGHAI, CHINA PEOPLES REP

That is on the 5th it is now the 11th.

I totally agree with you dude, that's why I ordered mine the second they started releasing actual eboots.

I do have to say one thing though, China really shouldn't be considered a third world country anymore, they at this point honestly have a better infrastructure through out their cities and highly populated areas now than the United States do.
Maybe its a third would in the highly rural areas but China is pretty much kicking the United States ass right now as is the majority of the other industrialized countries ATM.

I mean...we're the only industrialized nation in the world without public healthcare, that should speak volumes...USA is owned by corporations.

Anyway, IMO lightake isn't in the wrong here really, I wouldn't say they can't keep up stock due to "third world country conditions" but because it's only a small group of people and a small manufacturing line.
With that said, Lightake should put the item on "Out of Stock".

I wasn't referring to CHINA (lightake) as a 3rd world country I was referring to Jakarta, Indonesia where team Kado is based (The TrueBlue team) but maybe they're rich enough now to have a manufacturing line in China.

But yeah lightake should put out of stock (if they are) but i understand why they're not from a capitalist prospective (even though its a so called communist country) they dont want people to not order because it says out of stock when they'll prolly get more in less than a week, sell out repeat.

You've still got quite a wait dude, I ordered mine on the 17th of November and didn't get it til the 9th of December.
It's probably on the way through Chinese Customs to be shipped to USA.
Possibly the tracker just isn't updating too.
Give it a week or so and if it hasn't changed you might have a problem.

I'm pretty sure the hardware for True Blue has always been produced in China.
Like, 85 percent sure.

Man paid Friday got it Monday, I learned always pay the extra shipping if you want it within months. When the E3 dongle came out when they released the downgrade came in I waited 98 days for it to arrive. My TB games have taken about 5-7 days to arrive. as well. Spend the $10 and get your product in a timely manner, get free shipping get what you pay for. Kinda like the VIP room here folks.

I had an issue with Lightake too.
Preordered 2 weeks before they started to sell. Well, 2 weeks after they started shipping my order was still "processing".
Sent support an email which went unanswered. So i filed a claim with Paypal. That got a response.
Turns out when I ordered the thing with DHL shipping (to the USA) you have to input a phone number on the order page. I know damn well I did that (otherwise I could not select DHL shipping!).
But lightake claimed I did not input a phone number and they sent an email asking for it (which they did, my email program tagged it as spam though).
Once that was straightened out they shipped the thing that day. It arrived a few days later.
I mentioned to them there may be a problem with their order page not saving the phone number you input. Don't know if they looked at that or just thought I was full of it.

Yeah most electronics are made in some Asian country. But at some point the trueblue payload has got to be put on the dongle and I'm sure team Kado isn't telling chinese people how to do that, as that would leak their entire operation, anyway who knows.

Wow...Seems no matter where I go I get grief.. one forum makes fun of us for ordering it, another makes fun of us for no ordering it sooner..

and if they can not keep up with demand that just makes me worry about the quality of the item. I remember during the first batch USB Jailbreak 1 sweep, that there was some that was malfunctioning, I forget the name of the one in particular, I think PS3 Key, the board was touching the metal casing, shorting it out. I have read some people having problems, not being able to update or it being bricked and some games work for them while others do not. And there is no real support for it .

And before some one comes in yelling at me. I am not bashing them, just some concerns that I have seen.

And to the one saying we should have paid the extra for quick shipping. I and as many others have said, we have paid for the most expensive shipping available to us.

Just to verify (sorry too damn sick to read this entire thread.) - For those of you who chose EMS or DHL, did you get your number verified? They will send you an email asking for your phone number. If you don't keep track of your emails, and miss that one, guess what? Your screwed till you do. I know this because I chose DHL. Luckily I ordered mine on a Thursday/Friday and caught this on a Sunday so I received mine the following Tuesday IIRC. But if I hadn't caught that (they used the wrong email) I would still be waiting.

But for me, if you exclude the error on the email stuff (which was partly my fault as they sent it to my paypal email and not my main email, as I didn't give them instructions otherwise I just assumed they would use my registration email instead of my paypal email.) it literally only took a two day turn around from the time of ordering till it was in my PS3. So everyone that is having a bad experience, make sure you verified your number.

I had an issue with Lightake too.

This is probably the major reason why people are having problems. I specifically added my phone number three times on three separate pages, but they still require you to verify by email. Call it a safety precaution if you will. So knowing two people (myself included) have went through this - CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOLKS! VERIFY THAT PHONE NUMBER! Doesn't matter if you put your number in 10 times through the process. - They still require email verification of that phone number.

No one's giving you grief m8. You'll realize that once you spent a few more days on these forums. At the core this community is built off of a very niche group of people. So the core "senior" members expect that everyone knows our personality, when in fact newer members do not. So don't take it offensively. We are just acting like we usually do, and once you get used to it, you'll understand and realize we're all just a bunch of friends collecting under one roof for our hobbies.

Trust me when I say this because new members consider me the worst when it comes to "personality." So I'm telling you this now so you don't get really pissed off in the future. As Digital - Spooker doesn't mean any grief and he's a damn angel compared to me :P. But we are all extremely upfront at times. Call it a quark, a flaw, or something else. But we mean no harm in it.

As for "other sites" and the way they act with TB/TB supporters - FUCK EM. Plain and simple. (Hey I told you :P)

I'm not making fun of anybody, I'm just saying if people are going to do stuff exactly when everyone else decides to do it expect a longer wait. That's one of the downfalls of following trends.
