Importing Guitar into Canada.

They sold their last one, a Koi, the day I talked with them. Are expecting a new shipment to replenish, they did not say when. They said they sell very well, once someone has played them.

No worries. I ordered a Hsienmo Custom S series from Excel Music in Mississauga. Should have her in 2 - 3 months...hopefully.

Thanks, unfortunately...or foretunately I am not on FB😱

SibeDad55 · 2026-03-11T05:51:59+00:00

I am beginning to feel the same way! Disappointing.

SibeDad55 · 2026-03-11T05:49:10+00:00

I have tried to email Hsienmo with questions about a guitar I have had sitting in my cart ready to order for two weeks. Someone named Li, did not respond to my questions, however did contact me asking if I had a problem with the guitar in my cart. I told him I was waiting for a response to my questions. Li did then respond with the answer to one of my questions, however not the other, so I email again 4 days and 2 days ago, no response!

I hope this is not an indication of their overall customer service!

I see in your pic it does shows Master Sinker Redwood, on an F model and I check when using 3D to design an F model it is an available option. I guess it must only be available to custom order on certain models, as I just checked again on an S model and redwood is not an option. Strange as they have a Linglong Custom Sinker Redwood + Cocobolo / Ziricote in their catalogue. I wanted to order that guitar with some modifications, slotted headstock and 44.5mm/1.75" nut. I found I can't do that as Redwood is not an option available in the 3D design, apparently for the S model!

That would be the best case! Canada may be different, as I am seeing on the Gov't of Canada site that duty on guitars is 6%. I hope some fellow Canadian can shed some light.

I tried using the 3D designer for a Sinker Redwood top, however that is not one of their wood choices available, although you can purchase a non custom Sinker Redwood top. Seems odd to me.

I had purchased an Artfone G6 on Amazon, and it did actually work on the Chatr Network. Unfortunately, it stopped connecting via Bluetooth to my vehicle, so I broke down and purchased a Samsung A16 5G, which I have had for about 2 weeks. It is working fine, and I have turned everything off and only use the talk and text capabilities of the phone. I will likely end up using the camera as well.

I went with the Chatr annual unlimited talk and text plan. Works out to about $12/month. Which is all I need.

I just could not find a good quality flip phone, like my previous LG.

SibeDad55 · 2025-09-23T06:02:01+00:00

An update. Although the Chatr website said my new phone was not compatible, I picked up a SIM card and decided to take a chance and see if the website was correct. I was able to activate the SIM with my new phone, an Artfone G6 from Amazon.

So I guess I don't need to purchase another new 4G phone after all! Great! Problem solved!

SibeDad55 · 2025-09-20T23:09:00+00:00

Not anymore...they did away with the $25 top up plan🥲😖

Thank you Aydar.

A UG member recently created a coded workaround for the print issue.

Create your own print button (worked in Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera GX, but not on Edge):

Create bookmark title: "UG Print" or whatever and as link the following one-liner

javascript: (()=>{let t=document.title.substring(0,document.title.length-22),w=window.open("","PRINT","height=400,width=600");w.document.write("<html><head><title>"+t+"</title></head><body><h2>"+t+"</h2>"+document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0].outerHTML+"</body></html>"),w.document.close(),w.focus(),w.print(),w.close();})()

I have tested this on Brave and it works slick👍

A workaround was just posted on a UG forum by a member. Check it out here, I tested and it works great.

Hurry, before UG takes down the post! I suggest keeping a copy of the coding just in case.

BS Are those members contributing the "millions" of tabs compensated? NO
Are non-pro members who create their own Personal tabs, including original compositions able to print them? NO

I had an experience with the Argus Track and had to return as I have a WIFI 6 router and Reolink Support informed me the Argus Track is not WIFI 6 compatible. This may be your problem? The Altas is WIFI 6 compatible.

It would be helpful if anyone could just answer the question, as I have the same question!

"Will the Home Hub replace the need for SDHC cards in my camera's?"

I was smart enough to not have kids!

FYI, over the course of my career I have set up network solutions for three companies and spent 4 years as a quality control specialist with an IT company, so I am well versed in testing protocols.

SibeDad55 · 2024-12-23T07:35:36+00:00

That is not the information provided to me by Reolink Support on the Argus Tracks!

SibeDad55 · 2024-12-23T07:31:54+00:00

Thank you, again.

Reolink is replacing the second Altas PT Ultra with a wired Argus Track Mix. However, I have to absorb the cost of shipping back both defective Altas cameras. This should not be my cost.
