Jeda Hub for Model Y

[gregarian]

As an importer, I’m concerned that you have a DHL tracking number. Unless things have changed (and they certainly may have), DHL is used for direct ship from Asia all the time. By that, I mean it’s the UPS of international shipping. Direct ship is fine, but that would indicate to me there isn’t an intermediate QC step here in the USA. Does the tracking indicate origin?

So that's weird. The tracking was definitely DHL. I received it today and it shipped from Moreno Valley, CA.

Was something wrong with the package? I don't understand this concern about DHL - DHL does domestic shipping not just international.

DHL is primarily known as an international shipper but they have been shipping domestically for more than 30 years.

DHL was originally an international service. They purchased Airborne Express years ago.

We had a better name for Airborne Express, after them losing several critical packages: Stillborn Express.

I believe DHL was started in the US with only domestic deliveries. I'm not sure if they ever were international only, but maybe there was a period?

I thought the "D" was for Deutschland.
Edit: @jsight is correct, started in San Francisco.

DHL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Post in 2002.

Thanks for the clarification of the origin of DHL.

Nah, its Adrian Dalsey's last initial (yes, I had to look it up). According to wikipedia (which is, of course, always right) they started in San Francisco as a courier service with one Plymouth Duster. Also here: https://www.dhl.com/global-en/home/.../articles/2019/50-years-dhl-special/1969.html

The history was surprisingly interesting, and apparently they were doing international almost from the beginning. I guess that is why that part gets remembered, and I'd never thought of it.

Anyway, this is pretty far afield from Jeda hubs. Oops.

I ordered a Model Y USB Hub from Jeda on May 12. It arrived today - December 1 (via FedEx): over half a year later. I won't say it was worth the wait or anything like that (especially because it's not something I really missed in having these past few months), but it does look like it will work well. Pictures attached.

I think they need to update their packaging... That description in last pic does not align to a MY USB config - 2 USB-A input?

What the hell is their free spacer?!

 

[arforbes]

Mine didn’t come with the free spacer.


Anyone else having issues with USB-A and USB-C power cutting in and out? Plugging a usb A lightning cord into the hub is making the charger go on and off super fast. The lightning cable to USB C port isn’t having this issue— but the taptes wireless charger was (didn’t happen on the stock port).

EDIT: Jeda’s website says that the USB C on the right side is the only port designed for power delivery. Makes sense!

It’s for use with the Jeda wireless charger to add wired functionality and also to use with larger cases.

True...but Jeda said they would include a free spacer with their late shipments - looks like another promise by the wayside.

 

[darrelld]

Finally received my Jeda Hub, ordered in March, yesterday.
No spacer for me either.

 

[Peace1946]

Just stumbled on this thread. A little unsettling. I ordered my hub November 26. Stated shipping/delivery mid December. Patience is a virtue I’m told. I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Peace

 

[Ml007]

I did get a spacer with my order (pictured above).

So looking at the pictures, the door plastic doesn’t match the body plastic? Wtf? That’s crap.

Is this different than what's shown on the website and how they "old" model (two "USB A" inputs) looked? I missed it if it is... looks like what I thought it was supposed to look like?

Seems to me the only time you'll even notice is when you take it out of the box. Once installed, it's out of sight anyway.

You have a peculiar definition of “crap”.

For those interested, I did not want to take a chance on a long wait for the Jeda, so I ordered the Temai since my wife has the iPhone 12 Max. Charges fine in the horizontal position.
