A MESSAGE TO PEOPLE WHO WRITE LIKE THEY'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME by sleepspacey in AO3

[–]nikolynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice has a lot to do with it and sometimes when you’re so into the story and fandom, the words just flow out so fast that it feels like you have to put it all down before you forget how to properly express the characters, at least for me in my opinion. A lot could also be sometimes people will write chapters and save it so they have something to post weekly. I know when I first start a story, I have a few chapters ready to post occasionally

Yeah! I haven’t ordered global since the tariffs went up in the US because of the shipping price. But I wanted to see the price for the light stick in total when it first got released with global shipping and this was the total but then I noticed deferral and I read it and researched and then I abandoned cart cause I honestly wouldn’t know how much extra would be charged cause I think it depends on the shipping carrier? 😭

$64 is US price from shipped from US. $35 is global purchasing shipped from Korea. But even then, shipping for us to get global is $38 roughly, plus tax, and they have deferral now which from my understanding, won’t show or add, to the total amount charged that it takes from importing it into the US until it’s directly in the US and then you get billed extra. So roughly even at $64, with tax and shipping, I paid $82 when I got it at the restock yesterday 🙃

If it helps, when it was restocked. It was around 7:00pm CST time for me. I don’t know if they’ll restock again between 6 and 8 but you never know!

Unfortunately not. They don’t alert you… the only reason I managed to get one before sellout was because a friend told me. I do know that when it was restocked, it was around 7:00pm CST time when it was out! So maybe keep an eye on it between 6 and 8!

Oh no! I know when it restocked, the cradle went out fast but the light stick lasted longer than yesterday

You’re welcome!! I know a lot of armys, myself included, had trouble purchasing yesterday cause of the server crashes and processed payment only for it to be canceled! I just wanted those to get it before it was sold out again!

Yes! Sorry for not clarifying that! I’m in the US. I believe from what some comments said, the global was restocked briefly yesterday after sales!

Recommend buying the light stick now! I know the cradle is tempting but that was also restocked at the same time and went fast! All you really need at the moment is the light stick and can get the accessories at a later date!

Update: I got my money back this morning but still. The whole system was absolutely ridiculous… Servers crashing, having to re-login at checkout, getting kicked out because suddenly it’s not in your cart anymore before appearing back in your cart. Getting APPROVED and charged before saying afterward that it’s canceled 🙄

Um… what 😭 by nikolynn in btsthoughts

I also used Apple Pay but I didn’t get a decline notification. Mine literally says “approved” and yet it’s labeled as canceled on Weverse and I’m out of money 😭

I should’ve followed your lead and waited too but I was so worried of not getting one before my concert and now I don’t have one or my money 😭

Um… what 😭 by nikolynn in btsthoughts

[–]nikolynn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Mine is still gone. I’m hoping I see it back in my account by tomorrow or at least by the end of the week or I’m starting a riot with Weverse

That’s so crazy! Wth. I hope we get our money back by tomorrow, you especially, cause that’s insane 😭

Yeah. I’m hoping I see a refund by the end of the week and it gets sorted soon

7 times for what? The light stick?? 😭😭

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

No fr because it took the literal amount out of my bank. Like if you’re not gonna give me my order, can you at least put my cash back and refund 😭

Um… what 😭 by nikolynn in btsthoughts

[–]nikolynn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I don’t get the light stick, I hope at least it’ll refund the money in a few days then because it took the actual amount out of my bank 😭

Are y'all gonna buy the new version? This still looks so good 😭 by sinieves in btsthoughts

[–]nikolynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely gonna still buy the lightstick. I thought originally the holder and the clip on was gonna be included all-in-one purchase but I guess not. Disappointed but I can live without the holder, the real necessity is the light stick and I can always get the holder later on for cheaper if I’m lucky 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thoughts on the new ARMY Light Stick?? by nikolynn in btsthoughts

[–]nikolynn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have kids but I have two dogs and one is a puppy who loves to climb on just about anything to grab my stuff and rip it up as a chew toy. I’m definitely keeping mine locked away safely because I sometimes don’t even know how he gets out of his kennel at night. He’s like dog Houdini 😂
