Great. I’m getting great advice to buy directly from Jin, yet didn’t know that was even possible until I bought from enginediy.com. They provide a tracking number from the Chinese carrier, and I’m using the  tracking provided, directly through the carrier, and through 17track. It worked fantastically when the package was moving through the Chinese side, and through the US customs process. Then it simply says “transferred to local courier “ or some such once it got released in Los Angeles. There is no indication of who the local carrier is, nor any tracking that shows progress in that system, be it USPS, FedEx or UPS. That’s the black hole. 17track is actually expecting me to mark it as delivered. I won’t know when it’s coming, or if porch pirates got it, unless somebody gives me a clue on movement within three thousand miles. 

But blame the buyer. Shoulda bought from Jin. Silly me. Not for nothing, but several videos mention microcosm or bang good. Bang good’s system is a mess. I tried to
Buy from them but aborted the process when they kept trying to force a payment system I’d never heard of. So enginediy looked legit. They show all of Jin’s engines.
