Yeah, so I have been waiting over 3 weeks now for my other receiver to show up so that I can get my game on with some lighting and so on... yeah.... no luck!

I finally got the extra receiver/trigger and the damn thing is non working unit. I can't use it unless I hold the transmitter less than 4 inches from the receiver... #@@&!!!! So yeah, it's going to be a while before I can even get this unit sent back to them and get a new unit... So I'm screwed on this deal.. I was hoping to use this set for this weekend but looks like I'm shafted. This just pisses me off big time! I was hoping to be able to have a lot of fun with these this weekend and take some great shots and now I can't do a damn thing with them at all..

I only have one working transmitter and receiver set...

Kidding, It's a hassle i'm sure. I've ordered from them and had no problems. Yet...

nice, thanks for the vote of confidence there...

lol

anyway. yeah, the first set has been great and I've had a lot of fun with it so far but I was hoping to expand and now I have to wait even longer now... sucks they don't have an option to have it shipped from within the US....

try fresh batteries in them before you give up on them all together

trust me, I did that all around.

The original transmitter/receiver set that I got work flawlessly. The second receiver that I just got is the one that is garbage. I already emailed Gadget Infinity and got a response for more things to try, all of which didn't work for me. So I replied letting them know nothing else worked and am now waiting for a reply back as to what to do.

well I just got an email that they received my defective unit, well actually it was in my inbox on the 15th but I don't check that one too often. They already sent out my replacement unit and I should receive it in like 15 days.... (got to love that hong kong shipping.). They seriously need to get like a little shipping depot somewhere in the states that they can have like 2-3 people at just mailing stuff out from within the US. You would think they would be able to have enough stuff just shipped in a container to the US and they would be basically paying for the workers with the money they would be saving on shipping costs by just putting a mass crap load in a container.

If anything just raise the item price a few cents to pay for the works here to ship the stuff out... I mean it would give them a faster turn around time and probably better sales in the long run. More people would hear that they have a great turn around time and start ordering from them more often.

BTW, I've been up since 8am yesterday so I'm rambling a little....

so how much cheaper was Gadget Incrappity than somewhere like midwest photo?? worth the wait?

well it's nice that someone tells me now that they are sold there.... I looked all over for approved US sellers. But yeah, there is actually a big difference in price. it's easily 8 or more cheaper than buying directly from the manufacturer.... Their base price is 2-3 dollars more than GI's price with shipping from HK. So add normal shipping to it and you'll spend another 6 bucks easily.

No one asked where I got mine. It's in the gear list.

Anyways, I'm always in favor of free trade with other countries but you have to balance out what you want. I'd rather have something shipped to me in 2 days vice 2+ weeks and have the ability to call and get someone on the phone when I have issues. It's worth the $5-10.

idk, adding a 1/2 the original price to an item just to get it a little faster. i think that's dumb. I would be more apt to pay for regular shipping instead of priority but they don't offer that as an option on their site.

just got my replacement today....

works like a champ, already have I been playing with the flashes and so on. Perfect timing too... I have a gather with some friends for a house warming party. So I'll get to do a little plying with lighting and such tonight.

The Gadget Infinity support has been really awesome through the whole process. They are quick to take care of the issue and send out a replacement and really polite about any issues. I saw that they even tested the unit before it left to make sure that it was a working unit.
