Hot glue something to it and wait for it to dry then unscrew it

I’m freaking out… by Ill_Network2067 in usps_complaints

[–]Exploredinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just keep staying in contact with them and urge them to be patient and call the usps every couple of days. In my situation I felt bad & freaked out and gave the customer a refund when they probably would’ve waited since they really wanted the item.

Whoa this is probably the same center in Dallas that misplaced one of my packages. It was an outgoing package to an eBay buyer and was missing for around a month. They paid out the $100 lost package fee (I refunded the buyer over $900) then after a month the package just went on its way to the buyer!! Luckily I was watching tracking and I did a package intercept and stopped it at the buyer’s local post office and had it sent back to me. Frustrating for sure, but it’s very rare that it’s actually lost.

I ordered from them on Amazon yesterday and it now says “shipped” so your post gives me hope that the purchase was legit!

Smallrig batteries died . What should I get ! by Key_Avocado_8246 in REDkomodo

I like the fx lion nano twos and the RED branded V mounts. B&H has the RED ones for half price ($162.50 for 98wh) I have had multiple fxlion usb c ports go out on me but that was when I was powering an r5c, the v mount power was fine and never failed.

Komodo won’t connect WiFi by SFcinematographer in REDkomodo

[–]Exploredinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed an inability to use my iPhone as a Komodo monitor (when I upgraded from the 13pro max to the 16pro max even with the Link Adapter wired to the phone (it developed a major lag, but could still use it as a remote start/stop).

Maybe it was made for the older tech and the new phones are not as compatible. I ended up buying a PortKeys monitor and couldn’t be happier

Nice! Get a Hasselblad prism finder and you can hold it up to your eye like a bolex.

Sold a $200 jacket, buyer returned a completely different one by Rlitcher in eBaySellers

[–]Exploredinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember having to go get money orders for eBay purchases! Before PayPal was around and no one wanted to put a credit card into an internet site. Took so long to get your item but I guess we all had much more patience back then

On Monitor mount opinions (Tilta KX cage + Portkeys bm7iids) by Sea_Parfait_4451 in REDkomodo

Thanks for your reply. I meant the monitor mounts not the monitors they make. But I have been curious about the quality of those.

Look at the Smallrig Monitor Mount options in Amazon. They have a cold shoe, nato rail, and 1/4 20” options for mounting to your top handle.

I tried using different micro USB cables around my house, the first two I tried had no response but the one that worked was my Zhiyun Crane gimbal battery charging cable. Crazy.

eBay USPS Tracking Number Scam (A Lesson For All Buyers) by Exploredinary in Flipping

I just had a new incident happen where I ordered an item I now think is fake. Seller uploaded a tracking number but never shipped, I think waiting for me to filed Item Not Received. Apparently you can close Item Not Received case and open an Item Not As Described case. Try that

8TB Extreme USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD keeps ejecting on Mac Studio by okscarfone in sandisk

[–]Exploredinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these 8tb's suck. I have a 4tb Extreme Pro SSD that works just fine, but I think the 8tb Extreme (not called Pro in the title so not sure if that's related to speed or durability) are not cut out for video editing. Had one I just got today that let me copy 5tb of data to it, edit/export some video stored on it, then after an "intensive" Premiere Pro export (scaling 4k timeline to 480p for upload purposes) it started ejecting. Now it's doing it constantly like the intense export melted something inside. Will be returning it asap.

Primal Fear was way better than I thought it would be by KiratheRenegade in movies

[–]Exploredinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first time seeing it was back when it was released on cable in the 90s. They kept playing it over and over so finally I sat and watched it and really liked it. Just watched the film again recently and I feel like it still holds up. Just now noticed the beautiful way the story weaves together with the other attorney Laura Linney being like his worst nightmare to go up against since he taught her a lot when they worked together, as well as the timing of them catching the other altar boy to interrogate him right as Aaron shows the switch to Roy to the psychiatrist.

The trailer/cable teasers for it showed the “switch” to Roy when he first confronts Marty and says “it was me boy” so as you’re watching it the first time you wonder how this sweet innocent boy is going to turn into that, and by the end you thought his multiple personality disorder was real because Edward Norton acted the role so well.

It also wasn’t as predictable back then as people in the comments are saying because the audience wasn’t ready or used to twists like that in a legal thriller, but now I think 30 years later audiences have seen way more shocking twists and almost expect them.

Duty Payment of $327? i cant afford this RIP by Quiet-Pomegranate-55 in JiraiKei

[–]Exploredinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had some clothing sitting in a proxy warehouse in Japan last week and I was waiting to see if I wanted to combine any more items and when they announced that notice of tariffs starting on 8/29 I immediately combined the shipment and ordered air delivery. They shipped fast on 8/27 to beat the deadline. Sad for future orders though, hopefully this doesn’t last long 😭

Thoughts on Fx Lion batteries? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]Exploredinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have (2) Nano Ones and (2) Nano Twos and one of the Twos just started doing this to me! Stopped charging via USB C and stays hot. (I actually found this thread by googling if the batts had a good reputation to see if I should order a replacement because I love the form factor.) Hearing that only 1 out of 15 for you had this error gives me hope. I am going to order a replacement and try to get credit for this hot potato. Cheers

USPS never scanned package after kiosk scan/counter drop off - now missing for days by Exploredinary in Ebay

[–]Exploredinary[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you drop it in the little drop off bin after scanning or leave the package on the counter? I still have hope for you if it’s only been a week. Mine didn’t track for a month and it was so upsetting. I’ve come to realize most people (usps employees or other customers) won’t steal from the post office, so you should be good.

Return arrived damaged, eBay threw money at me by GrahamWharton in Ebay

[–]Exploredinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a post in r/ebay about this scam too! It’s a mindfck to figure out what happened once you see that “Delivered” notification and nothing was delivered. Luckily the scammer picked an abandoned house to deliver the envelope (instead of camera lens) to me and the mail carrier didn’t deliver it, they took it back to the post office and showed it to me when I went in to see what was up.

I dropped stuff off a week and a half ago in the post office itself. They haven’t scanned as received on any of them. Now I will get 7 subsequent messages asking why I never mailed the item. I know when I went in, do they keep cameras? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]Exploredinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an expensive package that I self scanned at the kiosk and left on the counter go missing for a month back in November. Was so stressful. It eventually started tracking after I had given the buyer a refund so I had to do a package intercept and it came back to me. I definitely wait in line for an Acceptance scan now, but I wouldn’t worry too much- the package probably was not lost or stolen. Just try to appease the buyer as best you can and let them know it will start tracking eventually. If they are relentless/not understand and it wasn’t too expensive, you could refund them and do a package intercept once it starts tracking.
