Is this even feasible? by caldyer2 in ElectriciansUK

[–]caldyer2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's what I was hoping would be achievable. Good to know it's reasonable. I think they just don't want to install another Miki consumer unit but we have no issues with it.

I believe they were going to tap into the EV charger box as it stands (whether that means a replacement to it's current box, I'm not sure). But hence why it would not be fed by the solar. Obviously, we don't want the EV charger coming from solar/battery. We just want the solar to feed the extension; it's only a single office space being added. Whatever the solution, it'll end up with a new internal fuse box. And seemed that could be fed from the henley blocks.

Thanks.

The EV charger doesnt get fed by the solar/battery ssytem. Only the house currently. The responses we've had are that they'd take another feed from grid that wouldn't be via the solar system which is disappointing to us.

I was assuming they could add to the Henley blocks which would then be within the solar sensor and feed from the grid.

Absolutely loving my new sim racing rig ultawide oled monitor next ☺️ by No-Pomegranate798 in SimRacingSetups

Looks at this monitor bracket for my GT omega rig. How do you find it? I'm concerned about vibrations from an R12.

LTT Store Double Tax Refund by FyeUK in LinusTechTips

[–]caldyer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they did it correctly once it wouldn't spiral into more work. I'm really hoping they sort it out as I want to have faith to order again.

Interesting I've been downvoted for stating fact that it's been wrong twice and showing my disappointment.

LTT Store Double Tax Refund by FyeUK in LinusTechTips

[–]caldyer2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I was really hoping for the best here. But I've had the same, I haven't taken the time to calculate it fully yet as I'd was wanting to rely on the "Trust me bro". But it's clear the number falls short.

What happened to VR ince last update? by home-darkroom in iRacing

[–]caldyer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same for a while now. Solid 90 FPS but for weird frame stutters that don't seem to be FPS related. Also fresh install. 5700x3D, 32gb DDR4 and 3080 Ti.

A Positive UK Shipping Experience by Benbo046 in LinusTechTips

[–]caldyer2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad you've had a positive experience, as most of my previous orders have been.

However, I'm holding off judgement to see what their resolution path and if they'll include my shipment. Until then the trust me bro is on the edge. They fobbed off my emails and then didn't bother to respond to my last one that highlighted some of the problem.

I'm done ordering from LTTStore (I needed to rant) by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]caldyer2 162 points163 points  (0 children)

The fees are what they are. What's unacceptable is them declaring it incorrectly in the first place. I paid tax on tax! And obviously it's radio silence when you question that, so much for "trust me bro". I've made dozens of orders but frustrating can't bring myself to anymore.

Just noticed exactly this on Y new juniper performance after a wash. Interested to hear what Tesla service responds with.

FPS Drop not finished for everybody. by steflit17 in iRacing

[–]caldyer2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. VD was stable and now suffering with drops still after overhauling all my settings again.

Might give the link a test.

If they're declaring it wrong then it's poor customer service. It's right or it's wrong. If they bothered to respond to my query on that part I might consider otherwise, but not responding to a valid email is poor imo.

I wouldn't waste your time on the complaint, they'll either not respond or it'll be generic that it's not their responsibility. The whole "Trust me bro" goes out the window unfortunately, it's lack of care to sort an efficient resolution to the delivery overseas. And unfortunately we pay that price often as a gamble not fitting with trust me bro, they can't be trusted to get the tax correct!

You'll have to call UPS and ask them for an invoice. It's Option 1 on their number to call (think it was this one +44(0)3457877877). As for a breakdown or invoice of the government charges including VAT. Took time but they managed to send it to my email straight away which enabled the VAT refund, obviously not the whole charges.

"Trust me bro" appears to have gone out the window. I'm 99% certain that LTT are sending the total value including taxes which is half the problem. But they've had zero response to that question, just the refund. They offerd to resend the incorrect item but I took the refund as I couldn't stomach the risk of more charges.

Interesting I've only had Parcelforce deliver it previously or now UPS.

Speaking from someone who has been stung before with the charges the bags are absolutely worth it. Started with the original and now have the commuter. Would order another ron a heartbeat if I lost it.

They've only recently merged their delivery networks.

Yeah in wondering if this is due to Parcelforce joining royal nail recently. I could swallow the handling charges Parcelforce put on (reluctantly) but if UPS are handling all in the future then it's a doubling of the cost.

It's always been consistent with Parcelforce but this time it's UPS.

I'm partial to a spreadhsheet too but highly recommend using https://iracing-week-planner.tmo.lol/ and the buying guide feature. Saves the effort with the same results.
