Ah, I knew there was a Discworld connection.

One of these things. Great for figuring out actually how much power various USB chargers are actually putting out. 

Ive got another one of the consolodated parcels that has a SG tracking number that says delivered on the aliexpress site and all the trackers (on the 8th) but nothing in the PO box for it. Got some others today so was hoping it was in that.

No tracking action on NZ posts tracker, but singapore posts tracking shows the same as aliexpress does.

14 things in it which will be a chore to go thru and open disputes on if nothing comes.

I had something come in Cainiao Super Economy Global for which the last tracking update was arrived at local facility October 29th, and then nothing until it suddenly appeared in the letterbox today.  Having said that, this is the first mystery-meat tracking I've had in a long, long time.

Between them sending it with idiots who report noone at home for a PO Box delivery, and the long delays I see with things between arrival and handover to NZ post I am thinking I might have to start having things delivered to work, at least quick horse or whatever else they choose to use the rejects from uber eats can find the place.

From my brief testing not a bad little controller with hall effect sticks and triggers. Comes with a 2.4G dongle or can be paired via BT. Was about $50 including shipping.

I need some hagibis to go with my covfefe.

A centering tool and a base with a pipe for a vacuum for my trim router. The aluminium base partially blocked the exhaust port so needed a bit of filing.

This is more a "found on Aliexpress", it's replacement battery contacts for when the garbage AAs someone got leak and corrode the existing ones

700psi sounds more like the output of a waterblaster, as that is almost 5000kpa. you sure you didn't mean 700kPa which is a quite normal pressure?

Those don't actually do a very good job with filtering noise, I got a range of them a while back to test and then got distracted by other things but from the one or two I tested the performance was pretty mediocre.  I'll go back and redo things with the whole range when I get time and report results.

Also those particular ones use ChongX or equivalent capacitors, there's a reason why the whole thing cost less than what one of the capacitors (low-ESR Nichicon) should cost.

I had a call from post haste that they cant deliver to PO boxes so wanted my physical address.

 

Also suffering from this now, seems random which Aliexpress parcels will get routed through NZ Post and which will get the Post Haste treatment.

Starting to wonder why I'm paying $20+GST a month for a PO Box these days instead of just using a free Parcel Collect address at the very same post shop, not like anybody sends me letters any more really.

For the price we pay, they should be just accepting parcels from all couriers for PO Box holders.

Not NZ Post yet but at the China end, shipment tracking shows events that appear and disappear at random.  Specifically "Leaving from departure country/region", "Left from departure country/region", and "Airline departure" all appear, disappear, and reappear at random when I refresh the info.

Go home Cainiao, you're drunk.

I've had a PO Box for the last 20 odd years and after renewing it last year I've decided that will be the last time; when it's next up for renewal I'm going to say no thanks as it's simply become too expensive for the few letters I receive through it.
