Shogmaster Shogmaster , look up your tracking number here:


That's a universal tracker site. I'm curious what it shows.
 
But it was handed off to UPS?

According to what tracker? If it's the notoriously fraudulent JCEX providing that update, then you're just taking the scammers word for it. The site I linked is a universal tracker, and it doesn't see that this ever left China. I'm not saying it's not wrong, but I would bet on it being correct versus betting on it being incorrect. Shogmaster Shogmaster was defeated. He is now a husk of his former self. To put it in simpler terms:

Wait, so im just back to baseline?
 
start processing your refund request.

because even that will come with a waiting period before they (Amazon) will do it. (2-3 days).

and the clock is also continuing to tick vs a credit card charge back depending on your card policies.

You lost.
accept it.
move on.

but thanks for knowingly buying into a scam offer that resulted in an inevitable chargeback either from Amazon or your CC card. That just raises costs for all the rest of us.

yay.

I don't think Amazon will accept a refund request while the package is still in transit.
 
It is just going to be a similarly looking product that supposedly has all the specifications listed, but when you do a deep check it turns out to be at least 1/10 of what was promised and probably an entirely different Chinese brand. I had that happen to me with phones on Aliexpress (yes, it was Aliexpress, but it still has legitimate vendors that actuall sell what they advertise, but cheaper).

Despite the phone showing the same specifications listed here if you went to the main directory, with more in-depth apps/programs it showed it was a Android 8.1, 1280x576p screen, 1809 mAH battery, 5mP camera

I dont have to wait until 15th?

Amazon range is 5~15th.
 
Any tracking updates at all Shogmaster Shogmaster ?

Or is it truly joever?
Well, Amazon's delivery range is 5th to 15th so AFA they are concerned, it's not late. lol

So I have no idea. No change in delivery status since last update.

BTW, I just figured out Ive been using universal tracker, not Jcex one so who knows what that means. Im not even sure if they have rheir own.

when even amazon flagged this as a possible scam upfront by notifying you the seller closed up their online shop, and the package is bouncing around like a ping pong, they will process your request at this point.

However…. If op cancels now, if there is a package coming, even if not what they advertised, wouldn't it be better to get whatever is coming and then process a refund or chargeback at that point? We need to know what is in the box.

OP let it come!
 
Brah... nothing updated on Amazon nor the tracking site.

According to tracking site the package arrived in LA 2 days ago...

I might file with Amazon today if no update. And if they end up delivering something after, whatever. I'll update you gius on that then.

For a scam, it reeeeeaaaaally fucking drawn out.
