Well then I can't say anything bad about them now. It did get a little confusing flipping then over and trying to remember.

@CobKits received my 32 1818s today great service great packaging thanks cobkits

 

[tulow]

got my orders today well packaged! and got here pretty quick.

I'm no fan of USPS, they don't even come to the door. got home and checked the tracking it said they attempted to deliver, but I got no notice. lucky me the mail woman hadn't left yet so I was able to get them from her.

Cobkits was very easy to deal with and was very prompt in answering all my questions even ridiculously late! will definitely recommend to friends

Customs (spain) have been a real nightmare for me aswell, still with customs since the 19th of September's. I suspect usps is a bad shipping option for eu/international, would love a dhl/ups option: these bigger companies havevtheir own customs procedure and i believe they get it thru a little bit faster, when your on your own with customs your not worth shit to them but if you have a big transport company in your corner things seem a bit easier. Not cobbys fault really, hes been a star as far as service given.

usps is no better over here. 95% of the time they are fast as lightning but once in awhile they leave me scratching my head

last time i looked into dhl it quoted me ridiculous prices. i need to find out how mark sends packages all over the world for $30 cause i couldnt get close to that

Usps got my stuff to spain real fast, the issue isnt really with them, its that when it gets to spain your dealing with customs like regular post, and the mickey mouses take the piss out of you. If youre with a serious company the cust serv is with you, they want it sorted so they can move on but when your with post its the most ridiculus deal ever. They move so slow that by the time you get the "urgent post" you have 3 hours left before theyre timeline for sending it back is up. But luckily the sending back moves equally slow so i managed to sort it out. Emails of additional inspection, which was apparently bull autoemail. Sorry i should stop venting, basicly i would happily pay more for something with less hassle. But usps isnt really the problem, its just here

You tapping bro! I'm just chillin here at G54 X0. Y0. Sorry to hear about that bs I've had issues similarly when I ordered from attitude. Last time I ordered beans from them I waited a month before calling and complaining they resent my order and a week later I got both packages

I've had some horrible experiences with usps in the past, but seems like in the last year or so they've really gotten their shit together. Was really surprised they deliver amazon on sunday.

That's a contract they took and they're getting paid for it, so don't think the Sunday deliveries is from the goodness of their hearts lol.......

Did I ever say that? No I said I was surprised that's all.

 

[Big smo]

Spains a bitch to deal with no matter what company ships your stuff. Years ago I purchased gallons of testosterone from Spain and it took up to 2 months to arrive.

Cobbit do you have a commercial account for shipping? I always wondered how some companies ship so cheap.

 

[Victor6634]

Looking for some suggestions on how many citi 1818s I should use for half of my room which would be a 4x8 and which driver hlg 240-1050 or a hlg320-1400 I want to mount them as a single 4cob bar I am going to end up with 8 bars how many should I use any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated trying to get best ppfd possible. Than I will be going cobs for the rest of the room if I like the results which will be 5x9

Why you so defensive? I put a smiley face and everything bro chill out

You can't just learn something and say ty.

i think people should stop asking how many of blank and try to do the math. figure out how many lumens umols ect you need per sqft. then figure out the output of said cob and go from there. i like to use lumens because most lights advertise the lumen output. and through testing it seems that on average most plants like between 5000 to 7000 lm per sq ft.

I guess you have never asked for help must be nice to know everything.

 

[CobKits]

hes got good intentions,we were all noobs once and if people arent telling you to ask less and read more you may not be pushing it as hard as you should

 

[pop22]

Hahaha! I paid $565 for the very first 1 gigabyte drive, from Western Digital.......

yes its like buying hard drives. the 4TB was always cheaper than the 5TB on a $/GB basis.

in any industry the flagship stuff is usually reserved for people with no budget that need the "best"

 

[pop22]

I told the last company that shipped to me DHL I'd sue them........ those assholes shouldn't even be in business!! They were worthless when they were Airbourne Express too, that's why they changed their name and bailed from the USA........ I'll tar and feather the next DHL driver showing up at my door..................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

rant over sorry.

OverseaS SHIPPING? Fedex all the rest are more trouble than they are worth. I use to ship a lot of computer stuff BACK to China, didn't take long top learn to use Fedex
