AliExpress order issues
Just placed an order for the 'Nordost' Odin Gold rca cables. @tksteingraber , Yeah, the shipping was almost half the price of the cable. Just paid a lot more than the first go around. (A lot being a relative term). But if it's as good as everyo...

Weird thing is, I didn't get a tracking number, just those vague 'this is where your package is now' emails. And I couldn't make any headway on their site. I'll give it another shot, see what happens...

@foggyus91 , Sure good luck with that.  Have him text you a picture of his driver license, with everything marked out but his picture and home address. Thank you. And good luck to your next username aka earlflynn, aka jerryg123, aka skypunk...

Have him text you a picture of his driver license, with everything marked out but his picture and home address. Now you have his ID, home address (so you can check out his house on Zillow) and positive identification when he shows up. If he's not...
