  4. Common or not, that's manufacturing defect. Contact support for replacement.
  5. You can try with 3rd party tracker like 17Track and see how it looks. Also, are you certain it is Canada Post number? They could have labelled it wrong and it's something else.
  6. Pretty much any shoemaker or sewer (or any other craftsperson who does clothes or shoe repair) will be able to fix that, and probably for pocket change. They would need a new clamp too, the lid is broken off there.
  7. Main channel videos get their own threads. Please post feedback to there. It's more likely that those who worked on the video see it. Your notion has been posted by others there.
  8. These two are most likely because some of their customers or if they have free tier, those users. CAPTCHA, especially on CF sites, comes if there's unusually high number of bots coming from that IP. Services blocking IP is something they do to VPNs. So there, looks like they like money over improvements.
  9. Our customs office provides calculator for these. Basically, it's estimation based on the country's general rates that are given. Here's page for UK customs https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty. As noted there, standard VAT is 20% (which equals $6). But since VAT you pay for imports includes shipping and handling fees, store can't give you final number before shipping fee is calculated. Looking at the wording there, those fees will be paid on entry, not to store. But of that I'm not sure.
  10. *** Thread cleaned *** Off-topic derail removed.
  11. *** Thread cleaned *** This is still for discussion about LMG sponsors. If you want to continue discussion about other youtubers, or dbrand in general, go post your own thread for it.
  12. Is it non-refundable shipping fee like what Amazon does or do they refund it with rest of the order? Making customer pay for return shipping is somewhat standard procedure. Especially if its international shipping. The difference with good and bad customer service comes whether they refund shipping fee or not.
  13. There are already threads for setups And retro setups So there's no need for extra. But since the discussion isn't photo-based, this can remain open. For now.
  14. They have support pages with FAQ already. Should be too hard to add couple more points about care instructions for different products.
  15. For a company that criticizes others for not having proper support pages...
  16. So? They need to verify which account is in question and what content has been posted. Thats very normal looking API connection notice.
  17. An update to this has been several Youtubers and other organizations cutting sponsorships. Which is fine, I guess. But some of them are doing it in a way which is hypocritical imo. As the sponsorships have been both money and free hardware, not acknowledging that the equipment has been received for free during the time when this was active, or maybe even after investigation was finished and public. So these people have been enjoying same benefits as with sponsorship while pretending to be holy. I don't mind cutting ties, thats each own decision and I hope they have thought it through. But I find it morally odd to not acknowledge that there was/has been sponsorship and some equipment are from that. They could ofc pay up what is owed, but these people are as greedy as they are now accusing Jimms to be. So not likely.
  18. Product page for the item. It's not very clearly said like with pictures. This is something they should add as support page for stuff that gets their product page taken down. Like Stealth sweatpants. I looked from another similar products page.
  19. To me this sounds and looks like overreaction. There are Finnish companies which are still knowingly operating in Russia. Here there was middleman and Jimms doesn't seem like knowingly doing anything (which would mean knowing and accepting what middleman is doing and knowingly aiding in such actions, the difference is big if you stop to think about it). With exception of not checking further on the middlemen who were exporting to Russia before the war and continued exports after conflict began. From those sources, I don't even see mention about them being investigated or accused about wrongful actions. The middleman got not guilty verdict on export charges from lower court. Though I get that one would take another result. The wording, especially on io-tech article, makes it sound like its worse. Customs did investigate things and Jimms being the retailer, they were part of, but not main focus on, the investigation. There's also mention about "suspicion on drones ending in Russia", but thats from US putting the two main suspects on ban list. No proof, no direct investigations, no convictions. So other than admitting being scammed, not so bad.
  20. Yeah, ok. I get what you mean. The thing with that video, and Short Circuit overall, is that unless its Dan checking out some cheap bluetooth speaker, its not going to be trashing look. Thats not the style. So there's that. Then its sponsored. Which is said clearly at beginning and shown in title. So you know going in its not going to be too negative. Those two in mind, getting some positive points where that product earns them doesn't seem that bad thing that they would need to take something down or apologize. Like, its not Dyson vacuum or anything like that.
  21. If "could be better" and "ok I guess" are praises, then I'm living in different reality. And people are watching wrong channel.
  22. Using machine drying might be the issue. Care instructions call for hang-drying. Material is polyester more than cotton.
  23. its 3 days old, as in posted just before weekend. Today is Monday. I'm sure if LMG feels something needs addressing, it will be discussed on WAN next Friday. In meantime, since you have watched it and are upset, maybe give here a gist on what you dislike about it? You can additionally TLDR comment section on, I guess, Youtube if you like. Then we can discuss if others here feel the same or not. After all, this is discussion forum and criticism for LMG is welcome. As long as it stays within reason. E: Watched it. From Floatplane comments, I guess the issue is that its sponsored video and viewers think it received too good response than it should have. Considering it being sponsored is clearly said and marked, the comments of "good enough" and "ok", are imo fine. Overall this feels like another Playstation Portal, except this time its actually paid ad.
