So, you think if you post a thread with lots of anger and insults, this will save your 115$ ?
If you read my post (the one you quoted) carefully, you'll get to the part "investigating the issue at first". Without asking anyone about similiar experience or contacting DD support (I know it's crappy, but still, it can do something sometimes) you post a flame thread full of hate and aggression.
PayPal protects you, DD customer service can answer your questions, Summer is also here to help. Do you really think you would lost your 115$ ? If so, you must be a very young and unexperienced user with very little knowledge about on-line shopping ...or just a person who can't control emotions. Judging, by how much and how freely, you use a term "idiot", I bet on the second possibility.
$115 dollars is much for me. Much so in fact that I wouldn't spend it on a flashlight, on a site like Dinodirect that has an avoid tag, and expect everything to be smooth.
You could have contacted Dinodirect's CS or Summer, or filed a ticket first. Instead you made a thread calling people from Dinodirect devious or idiotic. Worse you now directly attacked a fellow member.
The OP is just worried, Id be worried too for that money.
If DD asks OP to ship the phone back to China first thats like $40 and 4 weeks wasted, plus they may claim phone never received. So I can understand the apprehension.
Anyway I am pretty sure your light will arrive its just a picture system mix-up. Or DD will accept the loss and reship since the employee messed up its their fault.
Worst case after your item arrives and you try in good faith to work it out with DD, dont call PP, do a fraud charge-back with your credit card company. PP in this case will probably say the seller shipped in error and make you reship first, then the claim will drag on.
Lets hope for the best...also shipping times are going to be long now, I ordered an E21 for DD almost 4 weeks ago and it just arrived today.
Has anyone actually used the service that can comment on it? I've always worried that if it really came to it, there'd be some hidden fine print that makes it just a rip off.
OK, coolperl, I apologise for venting my frustration with Dinodirect at you, even though your comments were inflammatory.
On reflection, (and beer), I have realised that the reason I buy from DD, DX, Kai, et al is because I enjoy not knowing what I'm going to receive, all these vendors do usually, eventually make good on my purchases, and the compensation for messed up orders is often worth the wait. Paypal is always there as the last resort.
I guess you need to be playing the long game here, my mistake was buying myself an expensive xmas present from DD and expecting the transaction to be completed before next year.
So... apologies to anyone I may have offended, I'm gonna go all Zen over this, and wait and see what happens.
Summer has been in touch with me, and I'm sure this will all be sorted eventually.
Gee i was excited that cool perl was speaking his mind even though lots of people were thinking ...those stinking rich guys get all the good lip phones ...
my lack of tact was gonna be closer to budgeteers comment about spending 130$ and then ....(whining crying, yelling and insulting) on BLF ...i think for 130$ you get to complain on CPF ..Hell for 130 you get to freak out on anyone anywhere anytime ..the lips pic is too damn funny though . i think talking to summer would have been my first course of action but thanks for the lipspic ..too fun .!!
WTG cool perl give em hell....(V60c is a really bad phone)
WtG tim817 for buying a crushingly expensive light ...and not bragging that they are sending you styrofoam
WTG Pantaloonie For taking the heat and coming out of the kitchen with a smile ..stay in your happy place .
wtg summer for helping out
I thought they were sending you ... the kiss of death :P
I Don't think DD would give any problems, i mean not all my experiences have been smooth (faulty V10A but giftcarded so i got a new one + batteries, 3 different orders/purchases of TF Flames and also giftcarded as well to buy again plus some additional which i got 18350s). But everything has been settled to my satisfaction.
This is not smooth...
(BTW, lightake is NOT Lightmalls, my experience with Lightmalls has been very positive)
This comment really cracked me up! Simple and to the point! LOL
I'm sure you'll get your correct torch one way or another but I totally understand your freaking out when you saw the lips phone. I'd panic too after dropping that much coin on a light and seeing that pic. The product description on the pic is accurate though so I wouldn't worry. If the description said you were getting lips along with the pic of the lips then I'd really worry. Good on you for apologizing though. ;)
I just had the same experience over the weekend! I ordered a nitecore EX-11 and they sent me a picture of the Nitecore EZ-AA! At least the prices are similar so I will just try to sell it on when it shows up.
