Closed Official Haikelite MT09R *UPDATE Now including TA's Pricing for Emitter Upgrades* Closed

Terry if your attorney is watching this thread very closely. Why didn’t he advise you to refund our money? I am a very simple person if I made a purchased through your website back in Feb and for whatever the reason I didn’t receive the goods. Don’t you think I am entitled to a refund without go through all the hassle? This is only for me to understand. I am very confused that you still don’t know why people are not happy with you. Why don’t you start to issue the refund a few weeks ago and let us know SC26 is not happening because it didn’t meet the spec? I will be 100% ok with that decision and I will continue buying from you. I know you have a problem with HL but it has nothing to do with SC26. Am I right?

Shoot man, have your attorney contact me via the forum. I will be happy to direct him to proper threads where you admitted to stealing the group buy money to compensate yourself for an unrelated matter.

I emailed you two days ago. I did not receive a reply.

Here is my main sticking point with your dishonesty, Terry:

You claimed that you were in contact with Haikelite nearly every day and that the lights were shipped (on a couple separate occasions). Then when you were exposed, you claimed that the expected shipment turned out to be “springs.” So with all of the alleged contact with Haikelite, you told your customers the lights had shipped without ever receiving confirmation from Haikelite. Since you didn’t pay Haikelite the money we gave you, you knew they would not ship the lights. You’re dishonest. Plain and simple.

Because…

1. Terry doesn’t have an attorney.
2. When Terry speaks to an attorney, they will inform him it is illegal (in any state) to accept money for goods and not provide that good, unless a refund is made.
3. Terry believes that the US Attorney General would be interested in suing Haikelite (which is purely a civil matter) for 100 flashlights amounting to $3,200 usd.

Here is a few emails you can read... But now say I do not make payments... Read this yourself... Thee samples and shipments never came... But I am lying...

I am going aginst everything my lawyer is telling me but a liar or cheat I am not...

See below.

Hi Terry

Thanks a lot for the payment. We got it.

Your friend is a nice kind person. 2 people? you mean your relative that lent you the money want to involve in haikelite business? That would be nice too.

I am so sure you can grow bigger very soon.

Yes, we can send the SC26 sample to you with the sample , if not in time, will ship it with your first order. But we only made 50pcs for dealer, you can use the sample to promote yoursel, we have plans to help our new dealers to promote their market efficiently. Big batch production of SC26 will get ready at end of Feb.

Yes, there is a charge device for MT09R / MT03, will send you the photo of prototype tomorrow. We are still in testing the charger, when testing is done , production is very quick. Cause we already made some parts half-done.

Yes, we can ship batteries with the group-buy flashlights.

LOL, You can arrange a pre-sale when next new products are ready, but you know it should be within US market. :)

Best Regards!

Dale

Here is another one... Now if I am not paying my bills would this never shipped shipment be talked about. This shipment never left or arrived but I am lying.. I told you all I can prove every word I said.

See below.

Hello Terry

We will ship out the SC26 order asap. I will let you know the tracking code and shipping cost once it's shipped.

OK, I arranged the 5pcs of SC01 as well.

TA has not offered me the program for MT09R, He still need to do some testing. But we are preparing all components for the new driver.

This message assuming it was from Dale proves nothing. There is no confirmation and no tracking number.

Even though it’s always a good idea to report bad actors, I don’t believe Terry has a business license to revoke. “He Said She Said Sales” isn’t listed in a South Carolina Secretary of State business search: Business Name Search - Business Entities Online - S.C. Secretary of State. I believe only LLCs, Corporations, and nonprofits are listed, so perhaps he has a local business license. But I can’t say I’d take his word for it.

Yet another one... This one speaks for itself. This is just a few of hundreds of emails and Skype messages that thankfully I learned long ago to keep archived records of.

See below...

Terry

As i always said, we appreciate the effort you made for haikelite.

We have been counting up all the sales and records in our MT09R group buy.

You thought we have earned profits from MT09R group buy. In fact we did not have any profit, we lost money in MT09R group buy.

We have sold totally 85 pcs of MT09R all in all .

Production cost for MT09R is 65usd for 70.2 version , 58usd for 35hi version.

Shipping cost for each flashlight comes to 22usd.

We have to ship the TA replacement driver to each customer, the cost comes to another 25usd for each driver plus shipping to worldwide. (We made a small batch of TA driver , small batch makes the cost exteremly high)

And we have to send TA 2000usd to get the MT09R problem fixed.

We lost a lot of money in MT09R group buy.And I do not think you are willing to share the negative profit (lost money ) with us for the MT09R group buy .

We appreciate your help with organizing the MT09R group and thank you very much for all the effort you have made.

That is why we offered back our support to you. I think you know how much support we have offered to you.

As to SC26 , we also noticed the SC26 sample is not that good, we already had perfect SC26 available. SC26 XPL version have always been available since one month ago.

For all the MT09R group buy, we will take care of the aftersale service for each customer in MT09R group buy. Even we lost money in the group buy.

Best Regards!

Dale

“Will” ship out isn’t the same thing as we “did” ship it out and here is the tracking, shipping receipt, bill of lading, etc. Coupled with this and the billing dispute you two had, you knew they didn’t actually ship anything. None of this changes the fact that you need to refund everyone promptly. I don’t have faith that you will, so Paypal will ultimately do it for you.

So… it looks like Dale was responding to your request to do a pre-sale (group buy), apparently for the SC26? Or not?

Hahaha your emails prove nothing. They offer no details specific to you paying for the SC26 flashlight nor is there any proof who sent them. Or if they are real emails or just nonsense you typed out or heavily edited.

Terry, you’re debating a completely separate issue. While there certainly is a disagreement between you and Haikelite regarding the financials of the MT09R, the purchases of the sc26 for which you accepted money (but will not refund) is what everyone is talking about. The reason this is blowing up is because you were dishonest in telling the group buy that the sc26’s had been shipped, when you clearly knew they had not.

You are right there is no tracking and there never turned out to be any. That is my point. you can read where payment was made, then a shipment that was said to be shipping but never did..

There are hundreds of these. One reason one excuse after another, one lie after another. But I am the one lying.

I have completed all I am even going to try to. If you want to back that horse (Haikelite) have at it.

Think about it.... why do you not see any of these new models for sale on Chinese websites... THE DO NOT PAY THEIR BILLS.... not me...

Now contemplate what you want... I only jumped back long enough to show I can prove every word I have said. And there are hundreds more of these.

Believe whatever you like. Let you imagination run wild.

Bottom line is that it is not me that has not paid...

As far as my business license. It is under a much larger parent company. In time as this is resolved you will see...

I may be southern and what some people think may be a bit slow and unprofessional but, once all this is completed and everyone cvan see whatever they want to you can sit back and think wow was I ever wrong about that.

Please contact me directly if you need to...

Take care, and remember you all are damning me not the other way around. Keep that in mind while you are waiting for Haikelite to actually keep their promises to you...

It would be a shame if this fustercluck caused him to have his “Business” looked into by the state…

Nothing I have seen posted explains why my money was not spent to acquire the flashlight I agreed to give my money to Terry White for.

This post by Terry on May 23rd
“Guys just to update you on the SC26… I expect them to arrive in the next 2 to 3 days. Probably 2 I just say 3 if anything comes up in customs…

Shipping will start as soon as they come off the truck…”

fits that definition.

All these messages doesn’t prove what you want to prove Terry. It just shows that HL was trying to support you, shows that they were losing money on the MT09R GB, what they were willing to pay TA, and that there was going to be future pre-sale on January 4, 2018 (most likely the SC26). Additionally, that they were PLANNING on shipping you the SC01 and a SC26 sample, there was no confirmation that it WAS SHIPPED.

I wrote on another post, now assuming these messages were from Dale, that Dales’ english is good enough to communicate confirmation of shipment and a tracking number.

This all is nice that you’re sharing Terry, but what does this have to do with refunding the SC26 GB?

How is possible you are so stupid as to not understand YOU have the group buy money. No one is waiting on anything from Haikelite. YOU never paid them. YOU are committing fraud.

Posting up private business emails is incredibly unprofessional, it’s no way to run a business.

Terry, you’re truly not getting it.

We paid money to you. You didn’t provide the flashlight. You are failing to issue refunds even though Haikelite has stated they will not be shipping any to you.

If you refund everyone, you can still sue Haikelite and possibly maintain your business with other flashlights. However, if Paypal has to issue 100 refunds that you weren’t willing to do (even though you are legally obligated), Paypal’s terms of service dictate that you’d typically be banned from using their service of future transactions. If you’re trying to stay in business, this isn’t the wisest way to go about it.

Alright, I think that everyone has had their say by now. Thread closed.

If anybody needs to post any significant new facts in this thread please let me know via PM.
