Hedganian Report post Posted November 29, 2017 Even a hefty restock fee would be a lot less than having to pay for and store a bunch of gearboxes that you don't need or want. I mean, they're fairly large - what would you do with them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerton Report post Posted November 29, 2017 Put through the 'cancellation request' immediately after ordering but somehow it didn't work in this instance. Yep, 18 identical gearboxes, ordered on the same order number with the same order reference. Fortunately VWs returns criteria restocking: handling fee is only 20% to a maximum of £60, and because it was one order of 18 and not 18 orders of one, it counts as one line, so I am managing to return all of them for the one charge.

Mike_West Report post Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Why oh why does Royal Fail have to subcontract their international parcels to GLS, of all people?! Now I'm supposed to pick my parcel up from some plumbing shop in a back street near my high school, and that's even worse than the pet shop near the local pizza joint that I had to pick a parcel up from last time. *fruitcage* me galloping, I'd rather wait in the local post office queue for an hour. Also, I'm tired. Like, get me a bed and wake me up tomorrow at 10AM. Edited November 29, 2017 by Mike_West Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Report post Posted November 29, 2017 Accidentally ordered 18 gearboxes at work. Yes, eighteen. Yes, complete assembled gearboxes. No, proper ones for cars. Yes, they are expensive. Whoops. Dibs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Report post Posted November 30, 2017 Tie me up and lock me in a closet, I want to build an AUG A3-based Hard Light rifle from Destiny or something like it. And get a P226 springer to give it an outrageous paintjob. Hakke History Polish, for example. But hey, at least I'm not going to put Omolon Meteor Gloss or anything crazier (Dusk & Dawn for example) on the AUG... But then, I don't feel like spending money on a project of this scale, and I'm not sure whether I'd prefer an AEG or GBB for the Steyr, since GHK's A3 GBB is out.

Hedganian Report post Posted November 30, 2017 Only thing that puts me off the GBBR AUG (apart from the price!) is the 30-round magazines. You just can't simulate the effectiveness of a 5.56mm round with 1 BB. At CQB indoor ranges, maybe, but not for outdoor woodland use. I'd want at least 50 rounds per mag, I think. It is a beautifully accurate replica, though. They've even made the two-part A2 style receiver, the only one in airsoft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Report post Posted December 5, 2017 I've got a chromecast. I've got sky. I've got an old Sony Bravia, pre smart tv. For some reason, my chromecast sometimes chooses to display the cast screen and static equally for around 2 second intervals. Randomly. It will play for hours sometimes, all fine. But sometimes all hell breaks loose. For. No. *fruitcage*. Reason. It's a first gen device (I think), and I'm starting to *fruitcage* hate it. It's very close to death by hammer. Can anyone help please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
