RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) smee Profile I guess this means that they gave you the same tracking number they gave me. I didn't compare, but this is the same type of thing I get when I try to track my GCT (which they say shipped yesterday). Don't know what's going on. a) they're giving the wrong tracking number, or b) tracking number reuse 05-08-2001 10:59:16

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email Ok, excuse me if I don't understand, did you order these or are they for Gateway for Gateway orders? 05-08-2001 11:01:15

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) bloinkster Profile | Email I got the same thing with my tracking number. I think they shipped 21 of them in bulk from Taiwan and then they will break them up once they get to the US. Thats what my sales rep told me anyway. 05-08-2001 15:24:54

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) wordsmith Profile Ok they have hit the US. Resched. Delivery: May 9, 2001 Shipped to: ANCHORAGE HUB, AK, US So close I can smell the electrons...I call it, Electron Crack! * WordsmitH 05-08-2001 23:03:55

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile BTW Seattle is close to anchorage 05-09-2001 02:54:35

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) geekgranny Profile I just got off the phone with Gateway customer service. Called to check on my orders (2). First order...unit did not check out so they are "rebuilding". Second order...unit passed and waiting for tracking number which I should be able to get tomorrow. I asked her if these units are refurb. She asked if I ordered refurb. I said no. She said standard proceedure to test them before leaving warehouse. More on point.... I told her that some of my friends had received tracking numbers and that a group of units had come from Tiawan and had arrived today in KY. She was befuddled about that. She said that they do not come from Tiawan and are built here in the US and then told me the sites that they would come from. So my question is what is this Tiawan connection?? And did a sales rep really say that the units are coming from Tiawan?? At any rate...one more bit of info. My shipping charge for the first unit was less than the $60 charge. She could not change the $60 shipping charge for the second unit BUT is issuing me a check for the difference, order number for the check and all. How 'bout them Gateway??!!!?? I have not received a "welcome package" and she was unaware of those. She said my sales reps could probably tell me more about that and gave me their ext. numbers. I'm on my way to PO now to get mail. Oh, and she said the on-line tracking service has been down but didn't know any more about that. "Ah crapola....sorry for the multiple posts..."

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) smee Profile I've gotten several variations of tracking/Taiwan/etc. Before today, when I've asked for a tracking number they've given me this number and sent me on my way. When I checked today, before giving me the number, she tracked it herself through the UPS web site. She told me it was on its way to South Dakota from a foreign country (she didn't say Taiwan). From there they'd ship it to me. She did not give me the tracking number (I didn't ask since I've already got it). When I asked about my second machine, she told me it had not shipped yet and was still being built. When I asked her, she said that that was being done in the foreign country. No idea when that would ship (the arrival estimate at order time was 5/14). So, according to customer service, these machines with only two optional configurations are being built to order. I assume this is really just their database's way to say that they don't have any in the warehouse(s). I'm close to Kentucky, but I doubt they'll let me drive down to pick one up. I guess I'll just wave to it as it heads to South Dakota. 05-09-2001 11:53:24

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) smee Profile If only I'd waited 20 minutes to post my previous message, I could have added this information. I just checked the same number with UPS. It now says that the shipment is on its way to Cincinnati. Coincidently, I happen to be in Cincinnati. So, it looks like they've decided to send all of your GCTs to me. This is going to be really disappointing if they all head through here to South Dakota. I hope one falls of the truck here. Actually, if you look at the way the packages are being updated, it appears that they're being drop-shipped rather than going through South Dakota. 05-09-2001 12:16:33

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) BubbaDog56 Profile Yeah, when you look at the detailed listing for a tracking number it shows the location that it is actually being dropped shipped to. So they're not going through "Gateway Country, South Dakota" after all. You can also look at the details for all 21 (or 31 in latest group) packages and figure out which one is most likely yours. Mine's already in Texas and on it's final leg, might make it a day earlier than the 5/11 quoted. Yeehah! Fire up them power tools boys, we got some work to do.... B'Dog 05-09-2001 18:07:22

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email No wonder the orginal shipping and handling charges were quoted at $60, It's clear that Gateway doesn't stock these things in a warehouse, they take the order, email Taiwan and perhaps Transmeta? drop ships them from Taiwan to the Unites States. The shipping charges decreased as more were sold, most likly a volume hipping discount from UPS. Gateway is the just a middleman, I wonder if a deal could be struck with the orginal manufacture for a group buy of non-Gateway branded ones? I will bet Gateway won't be selling them much longer as they are all ready selling their great $599 internet appliance for $199. And you know must be making money on them? 05-09-2001 20:34:26

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) wordsmith Profile YEAH!!!!! There on their way! All of mine are in the state! We shall have our first batch by Friday! My 4 should be here tomarrow! Time to buy cable from Badflash!! * WordsmitH 05-09-2001 21:26:48

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) GWIZAH Profile | Email Yeah, Mine are just a half hour away at the UPS building. Tommorow's the day Actually..TODAY! Unfortunately I got an HPNA version Fortunately though, I can re-send it to them and get the ethernet version at NO EXTRA COST! whoopeee! 05-09-2001 21:46:20

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email Wow! UPS is outstanding! My GTC left Taiwan on 8th in the second batch and is only 2 hours away from me in St Louis! I might just get it today, positively by tomorrow!! With all the technology we have, isn't it something else how UPS handles shipments. Granted they don't always treat every package with tender loving care, but those guys know how to get a package from one side of the world to the other!! 05-10-2001 04:27:59

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) geekgranny Profile YEA, one of mine is in Texas and on its way across town to "my" center unless someone else gets their packages out of Mesquite. Should be here Friday as predicted. "Ah crapola....sorry for the multiple posts..." (Greenspark) THEGeekGranny-epodsgranny@hotmail.com 05-10-2001 05:41:35

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) BubbaDog56 Profile Granny, That's probably one of yours, mine's coming through Stafford. I'm getting all itchy just waiting. Couple of loose ends on other fronts that may have to wait. I still have to put the PowerTrends upgrade in my V5 iO and up the CPU to a K6/2-450, but it's doing fine as-is on the kitchen counter for the wife and kids. Also just finished dropping a 12.7mm HD into my $30!! (computer swap meet find) WebPlayer last night to feed 'net audio into my garage stereo, works and sounds great. I'm ready for a new toy, I think Wordsmith is right about the 'electron crack' thing. "I want a new drug...." - Huey Lewis and the News B'Dog 05-10-2001 06:54:46

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) wordsmith Profile Its true, I-Appliance hacking is Electron Crack. I CANT STOP! * WordsmitH 05-10-2001 09:10:41

RE:21 GCT Pads shipped from Tiawan ! (modified 0 times) smee Profile Mine arrived today. Unfortunately, it's at home and I'm at work. My second one is still in manufacturing. I'm quite disappointed that it's not in the second shipment. 05-10-2001 09:31:44
