Hi all
Certain US orders are being shipped from our US stock and are being handled in chronological order of placement. These have been pre-shipped to US via FedEx and will now reach you via USPS domestic post. You will receive a notification email advising you when it has shipped and can generally expect to receive the package 2-3 days later via USPS. We don't bother with providing the USPS tracking number since USPS are generally fast and reliable, and copy/pasting the tracking numbers would be an additional admin overhead when frankly I'm busy enough already.
Other US orders and all non-US orders are being shipped from our Turkey QTH?and are being handled in chronological order of placement. You will receive a notification email from QRP Labs shop with the tracking information when your order has been shipped. If you booked TNT/FedEx shipment you will also receive an email from TNT with the tracking number.?
Remember that order status "Complete" means your order was placed and paid properly. The order status will become "Shipped" when sent.?
Remember that some US email domains such as cannot receive emails from QRP Labs shop for unknown reasons due to draconian spam policies. If you ordered when logged in with a registered QRP Labs shop account, you can check your order status in the QRP Labs shop.?
Remember?that TNT/FedEx shipments from Turkey are collected daily?from our QTH via the FedEx local agent and will show with status "Collecting" until they reach the nearest TNT/FedEx depot which is near Izmir 250km North of here. From there they fly out to the world. The initial TNT delivery date estimate is also wildly inaccurate until they have it in their hands in Izmir and even then the delivery date estimate could be a bit optimistic on occasion (in other words, they maybe think that they are better than they really are hi hi).?
There has also been a period of high order volume even on non-QDX orders which was probably fueled by publicity around the QDX launch, and perhaps also the very nice ARRL review of QCX-mini in November's QST magazine which was published?at around the same time.?
Since it never rains but it pours - we are also one person down here in Turkey right now... one of our team's son caught Covid19 at school. Since we are all double Pfizer'ed, technically we could continue unaltered however, another of our team is on Chemotherapy and we didn't want to take any risks with her health... so we sent Covid Mom home for a bit with a soldering iron and a box of QCX+ kits to assemble :-)? ?
Separately and not entirely off-topic, my own more ancient Mum was visiting from UK now that travel was permitted, and enjoyed seeing the junior lab techs particularly the newest one (now aged 15 months). But I got her to help me tidy up the new QRP Labs office R&D section... a mammoth task not yet completed but at least major progress in the right direction. She went home yesterday too (hopefully without Covid19).?
Please bear with us on all?matters, during this period of exceptionally high demand.?
