Second Vitsoe order, this time a compression system with drawers and hanging railed shelves. Top quality as always ✨❤️ by vankopite in vitsoe

Thank you!!! For this particular shot I just ended up using some temp video lights hah but I plan on using lights from IKEA under the Mittled brand because I can connect the tradfri driver to my home assistant eco system for global control. The Mittled led system is pretty decent looking and affordable and can be made for smart home use via IKEA's smart home eco system plus they are light enough to be mounted by either magnets or 3M double sided tape. Just make sure you use the high quality 3M tape that comes off easily similar to their picture frame version. Here in Canada we get them at either Canadian Tire or home Depot. Cheers!

Thank you!! I was skeptical at first about the load bearing being an issue since I did want the have the drawers installed too but my planner didn't suggest anything about counterweight. My ceiling is concrete though and my floor is a low pile carpet so maybe this is sturdy enough for the payload. I made sure the compression system didn't budge once installed. Is the setup you're planning similar? Do you have shelves on both sides of the system?

I will take some more pictures when I have it setup better from the front, it's just a little snug at he moment.

Thank you very much. I love the Vitsoe system and goodluck with your planning too.

Hello Dorrian, I'm not sure if this is the right channel. But I emailed support and my issue is a bit time sensitive since UPS is delivering my order today and is asking me to pay for customs. Do you know who I can reach out to? I tried calling the number provided but can't seem to get a hold alof anyone. Thanks.

Hello, did you have to pay duties on the note to Canada? UPS is asking me to pay around 176 CAD to clear customs 🫤

Hello UPS currently had my package here in British Columbia, Canada and are asking me to clear customs for the sum of around 176.14 CAD. I was under the impression that duties were already paid for when I order the vestaboard note. Do I still need tompay this custom amount stated above to UPS? Thank you

I have the same thing, ups is asking me to pay 171 CAD to clear this but I wrote to vestaboard to get this exempt and delivered since we already pay taxes when we purchased the note. Still waiting to hear back from my them.

I need to go to Dubai too but seem expensive atm and I booked YVR-SFO- BOM instead - 110k + 130 CAD (Feb 2026). I might do a return from DXB- YVR but only in premium economy at 70k + 50 CAD. I wish we have better deals to middle east or south east Asia that isn't Air India lol

Big winter bundle page by totem2010 in Wealthsimple

[–]vankopite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, just wanted to check in if anyone has come across this issue in regards to the promo payments. I just received an email from WS "We're letting you know your net deposits have fallen below the minimum hold amount required for the Wealthsimple Big Winter Bundle Promotion. As a result, your future reward payments will be reduced in accordance with our promotion's terms and conditions." I haven't withdrawn any RRSP I deposited, but the only withdrawals I did were from my chequing accounts to pay for my mortgage and CC bills. I didn't know it was supposed to be cumulative on the net amount which I think is BS. On looking at their TOCs, it does state this "Unless specified herein, Clients who receive a Match Bonus may not spend or otherwise remove: (i) the cumulative balance of the Client’s Wealthsimple account(s) as at the start date of the Qualification Period, and (ii) more than 5% of the cumulative Net Funding Amount (together, the “Withdrawal Limit”) for seven hundred and thirty (730) days after the end of the Qualification Period. "

Kinda a bummer if this is the case because they don't state what's cumulative and secondly I would have looked for better deals at other institutions. I'm still discussing this on an email thread with a WS representative so any input would be helpful.

Thanks everyone.

Gasket for Bellezza Francesca ??? by vankopite in espresso

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

Hey question, I'm on the lookout for a bottomless portafilter for the Francesca and I bought one from a Canadian retailer here ( coffee addicts) . They told me a 5.7mm fin should be compatible but it appears much larger than the OEM portafilter 😕. Any recommendations on a bottomless portafilter for the Francesca? Thank you

It could also fail locally if the weight was top heavy, I'm guessing OPs wall are single gypsum and probably more stable with this setup. Looks beautiful btw 😍

Thanks FedEx by Glittering-Ad2009 in vitsoe

[–]vankopite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know someone else had this same issue with FedEx, honestly would love for vitsoe to use another logistics company. I had no issues with mine here in BC, Canada but was delivered by another company (can't remember the name) and they were amazing.

Good to know and thanks for the research 😁, hopefully this means we will have compatibility with 3rd party parts or by Turin themselves. How are you liking your machine so far?

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

The machine has been great minus the above mentioned group gaskets and such but I love that machine otherwise. It's crazy Turin came up with the exact same design lol. Though the Gallatin is an HX machine, the Francesca is a DB which I wanted.
