So like FINALLY! My stuff are here from US! They tried to deliver in the morning but apparently no one was home and I had to arrange for a delivery in the evening. And they came not long after I came home, talk about good timing! So without ado, pictures!
3 packages, stupid thing is the biggest box, contains very small stuff
My 15ft USB cable, 25ft ethernet cat6 cable, 2 rolls of film and Nikon body cap
So yea! The USB cable works! I can now move around and shoot with my camera tethered to the laptop! Only now is to get the active repeater so I can go further! The ethernet cable is currently plugged into my desktop. Downloading now don't see much difference, but loading does seem a little bit faster. Speedtest.net test time!
Wireless
Wired
If assuming the test is accurate, the ping and upload time is about the same but the download speed is faster! However, the test is based on Singapore server, so really hard to say. But I expect better internet performance when I change to 50mbps fiber optic next year!
Bates is kinda pissing me off without really answering my questions directly. I asked about shipping to Singapore and return policy and what's the protective toe thing. They answer no to shipping to Singapore, protective toe explanation and give me the closest dealer, which is located in Hong Kong. So I had to reply asking about return policy, and they replied that different countries have different policies and to ask the closest country's dealer. So I had to ask about USA's return and exchange policy if I buy from USA. Its seriously making my blood boil =.=
So anyway, I shipped my 2 2TB Seagate constellation to Singapore, kinda sad that I have to pay tax in the states and when it arrives here, I think I'll have to pay GST again. Sucks. But I've decided to buy the Western Digital Scorpio black adn Caviar black (when the Caviar price drops) in Singapore for the warranty. But I'm still buying the Corsair Force GT from USA. Hopefully there won't be issues though... Like failures etc
Anyway, that's all for now. Off to bed! Good night world!
