Decided to Move on...

Yeah it all depends on where they ship from, whether it's FedEx or UPS -- for example, Crutchfield (where I've bought some large electronics from) has like 20-some distribution facilities across the country and I've been able to get next-day GROUND delivery from them before because it leaves 1 hop way from my destination sorting facility.

Yeah I've done the same thing and gotten next day shipping from a company I use to always buy from. What was nice is that instead of the normal 10 dollars for shipping it was like 6-7 dollars too.

Always check these maps, I have had a few times where I spent 20 extra dollars at the least for faster shipping only to find out I could have payed 10 dollars and gotten the same speed or sometimes even faster.

Well my fresh out of the box got her first save this morning. Was traveling down a two lane road with a friend over a few rolling hills and suddenly I get a brap of Ka. I slowed down my speed about 45 mph since I was going over a bit (50 mph(40 speed limit) when my friend said Its probably just another false. I looked at him and said dude.......its a cop I BET YOU, as we continue on the road a silver acura on the other side starts flashing his highs at me and sure enough over a bridge sitting at the bottom there was a LEO shooting IO Ka. Man, what a great confidence booster that was. The range was just awesome and more than enough time to get back down.

oh and RConcheiro, you should get yours soon. Its worth it.

dannnng... so the Acura was flashing his lights at you because he was telling you to slow down or that you were going to slow (since you knew there was a cop)

wow, you should of bet your friend some money hahaha!

Just curious though, what did your friend say when you both realized that it was LEO lol

BTW, guys a big pointer on fedex and ups. I have made the mistake several times getting 3, 2 and 1 (Express) day shipping and if I would have payed ground gotten my package faster or in the same time.

Ground Time-in-Transit Maps

Half the US I get 3 day shipping at the rate of ground. The east coast and surroungind states I get 2 day shipping, From South carolina to Pennsyalvania I get express shipping for ground rates.

Fedex is the way to go if you expect like 3-6 days because usually they get it their a day earlier.

for some reason the link doesn't work for me

Yea the Acura was flashing his lights warning me of a Leo over the next few hills, but I had already known about the Leo MUCH earlier than when he warned me thanks to the V1.

wow that was still nice of him though, I wish someone over here would be as nice lol

any updates?

any updates?

yea actually. I got 2 more Ka saves and 1 K band save (cop was sitting under a K band speed sign also shooting K band near my house. There are 2 speed signs, one on each side. If it wasnt for the bogey counter, I wouldnt have found it odd enough to slow down to the PSL.

Last but not least, laser. I picked up scatter from one of the cars in our club when we were all heading out on a drive. He has a 9500ix and was leading the group when he hit with it, but he got nailed and I just settled back it with the line of cars.

I seriously LOVE this thing, TOTALLY worth it IMO. Im gonna be taking it on a few thousand mile road trip out to New york next week, armed and ready.

The excitement wears off when you are in the city LOL.

Honestly, pull the trigger and dont look back cause quite frankly you wont be disappointed. Ive owned a bunch of other detectors and even had the 9500 this week for a few days, and even though its also a great detector, I cant stress how much more confident the V1 has made me (of course I always use a rabbit must not for get that ) Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I love this thing. Entirely worth the faster shipping and all lol.
