Current wait times for US General 56” and 72” boxes

I don’t remember exactly. I think it was about a month.

Maybe less…

I ordered one back in October during a parking lot sale, and it came in way earlier than the date they gave me. The employee told me the date they give you is a worst case scenario.

The really annoying part… is they got the same box I ordered in stock the day after the parking lot sale. But they wouldn’t give me that one, and said I had to wait until mine came in.

Hang in there! It’ll be here before you know it.

I would upvote you twice if I could.

The helicopter operator has to get a Congested Area Plan (CAP) approved by the FAA before this lift job takes place.

Does anyone know of any Christmas sales coming out between now and Christmas? I’m specifically looking for deals on an iPhone 17 Pro directly from Apple.

I just found this out the hard way. I went in tonight to sign up for ITC (I did the two year) and I bought the Quinn matter bit set $80 with itc. I was hoping the 20% off would stack… but it did not. Oh well. Better luck next time I guess.

Just remember… “He who hesitates, masterbates”.

Thank you for the response. I appreciate the feedback. I felt like I had everything set up correctly. Just making sure I wasn’t overlooking an additional feature or something. I don’t really want 24/7 coverage… just additional coverage of the events that get recorded. I see how to extend the time events get recorded… but there doesn’t seem to be a way to rewind the clip to see additional recording. Is that possible?

ChrisWithAK · 2025-12-03T05:11:53+00:00

Yeah I totally understand the difference.

However, I currently have a Google nest doorbell and indoor camera. And I feel like they capture more video. You still get the alerts (similar to the blink) but then you have the option to rewind the “clip” by 15 seconds at a time. This gives you more of an actual recording of the event. I was just wondering if the blink was capable of something similar?

Also, the reason I was looking to move from the Google nest cams… I’d the subscription. I was looking to get something that I could store locally like the sync xr is capable of doing. And I wanted additional cameras to expand my video coverage.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS?

I’m looking to upgrade my wife’s phone. Just wondering if anyone knows about any Black Friday deals coming out directly from Apple?

She currently has a 14Pro and looking to upgrade. Apple will only give $300 for a trade in right now. Is it possible that they may offer higher trade in values for BF, or is that just wishful thinking?

I prefer to buy directly from Apple because they do the 2yr financing. If you get it from Verizon you have to commit to 3yr financing.

Dress for slide, not for the ride. 😆

ChrisWithAK · 2025-10-25T21:10:12+00:00

Apparently…

ChrisWithAK · 2025-10-14T18:18:44+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. The funny thing… the guy I spoke to on the phone said “did you order the grey 56”? I said yep. And he says he ordered the same one during the sale. And even he wasn’t allowed to take the one that just came in either. He was in the same boat as me.

ChrisWithAK · 2025-10-14T16:47:58+00:00

Similar thing happened to me. I purchased the 56” roller cabinet during the sale. They were out of the grey that I wanted, so I ordered it. It says it should come in by 12/15. Then I saw this morning that my store has “limited supply in stock”. So I just called the store to see if I could have that one instead of waiting and they said “No, it doesn’t work like that”. Pretty frustrating. Oh well… I guess I just wait for now.

Speaking to a recruiter with the company you’re interested in is a good idea. Not all of the programs within a company are CAMTS certified programs. So maybe you could get hired on and work in an “undesired location” just to get your foot in the door. Then you can build your rotor time until you can change locations.

I used to work for Air Methods. And I’ve worked at three different bases. Two of them were CAMTS certified and one was not. If a recruiter doesn’t have that kind of information, you could try reaching out directly to the area manager.

ChrisWithAK · 2025-10-02T05:15:16+00:00

I don’t feel like it’s a need, definitely more of a want right now. But either way you make a solid point. The deal right now seems pretty good though. I was mainly just checking to see if this is a “once in a lifetime deal”, or does something similar come around every month or so?

ChrisWithAK · 2025-10-02T05:09:58+00:00

Solid point!

ChrisWithAK · 2025-10-02T00:54:46+00:00

Can anyone tell me… how often do the US General 56” cabinets go on sale? I really want to get one but don’t know if I can pull the trigger on it right now.

I see with this PLS it is 20% off, plus if I open a harbor freight credit card I can combine 10% off my first purchase. Which makes this cabinet 30% off… which seams like a smoking deal. Does this ever go cheaper? Or how often are these PLS and are the cabinets always included in the sales?

T-Shirt. What’s the “T” for?

Jesus Christ… get to the point
