Seriously, Massdrop? You’re using FedEx SmartPost? Either pop for Ground or just give it to risky USPS, but choosing this utterly pointless hybrid service offers no advantages. It’s slower and still ends up in USPS hands (so could still be lost/stolen/discarded/delayed for months).

john.doeRight? Does it really take 4 days to go through a department?

john.doeIt’s cheaper. i don’t know why you ask to use more expensive service when you get it for free.
Also, some people are okay with it. I get mine within a week. Not much added delay. One day, maybe? Even then, it’s still within a week. CONUS.

Curieux88Is it cheaper? That doesn’t make sense considering both FedEx and USPS get a cut. And since I’m only a couple of hours away from the origin, it adds quite a bit of time. Should be next day, now it’s four.
Admittedly, this is a pretty first world problem :)

john.doeI can see how it’s cheaper. I have a coworker who used to work for FedEx. fewer Destination means cheaper operation Cost. It does make sense. FedEx/ups does cross country, and usps gets smaller routes.
i work for a manufacturing company. Shipping is not as cheap as people think. People are just so used to amazon prime deal.

Curieux88Mine shipped during the first days but now I have to wait until the 14th of July for some reason and I live in the US, smartpost sucks.

Curieux88I guess the question is, is the savings for the seller worth the delay and potential headaches for the customer? I don’t recall whether or not there were shipping choices at checkout, but I definitely would have paid a little more to keep it away from USPS. In my area, they are extremely risky. And adding the SmartPost delay to that risk is the worst case scenario.

john.doeYour argument is under the assumption that smartpost is the worst option for most people. I don’t think that’s true. For me, I much prefer usps over FedEx or ups. I live in a shady area. While usps can drop off my package inside of my apartment, ups/FedEx can’t.
it might be a small saving per package, but think about how many items they ship out per year. the Annual saving would be thousands of dollars. I don’t think massdrop is a big company. I work for a small manufacturing company, and shipping is an enormous portion of our expense.

john.doeI received my shipping notification, but scheduled delivery is pending (shipping label created, but FedEx has not received the package). Every order from MD comes to me via a convoluted path. I guess this is just how FedEx "Smart"Post works?

LazySundaysfedex smartpost is simply fedex handing over to usps to do the smaller routes. https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/fedex-smartpost.html
the reason why there's no scheduled delivery is bc massdrop literally didn't hand over the package to fedex. I used to do manage shipping for my company, and I can create shipping labels days in advance. Those tracking numbers that have not been scanned will show "pending".

Curieux88I don't really have any issues with the tracking info, because I understand that FedEx has not received the package from MD yet, but what's with the delivery route? For all MD products I have ordered, FedEx overshoots Cleveland by 160 miles, then retraces the route back, resulting in about 300 miles (and about 2-3 days) of unnecessary travel. (Granted, this is assuming travel by land, which may not be the case.) This delivery route seems suboptimal.

LazySundaysThat’s fedex‘s network. i agree that it’s stupid, but as long as deliver within the promised window, theres nothing you can do. It’s not optimal distance, but it maybe optimal truck allocation.

Curieux88I'm in total agreement with Curieux88. USPS, UPS, Fedex is my order of priority for shipments. I've had plenty of issues with Fedex and prefer to avoid them whenever possible.

The audio on my pc38x is not working

One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir

Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir

Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair

Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.
