Re: Mountain Electronics?

Mountain Electronics is the best american source for anything related to flashlight modding. The owner was already a BLF member before starting his business, it is a reliable source and he is still around for questions in his business thread.
He must be busy not answering his emails, does happen sometimes.

I know being a small business weekends, after hours, holidays and vacations may cause a delay in them getting back to you but I have always had a response from them within a day or two. Even with technical questions about parts for specific lights were answered in a day or two. Very helpful they are.

You asked for feedback on purchases.

Not very long ago Richard had a major crash on a dirt bike, broke ribs and a leg I think… then he fell and broke his wrist while hurt from the wreck, so he wasn’t able to type on the computer or build lights for a while. I would think he’s getting back in good health now but I’m sure he’s far behind and working like a mad dog to catch up. :wink:

He’s got kids too, and a house to take care of, life sometimes get’s in the way even for great flashlight modders.

Great guy, great wife, the business is good and he’s still trying to do everything himself, so bear with him a little… difficult at times I know but most things you need answers to we can answer here pretty quickly then you can place your order and that will usually get it done in a timely manner.

From my experience, it’s been hit and miss as far as communication. As far as my orders, and there have been several, I’ve been 100% happy. I usually get my orders in 3 to 4 days.

Mountain Electronics is my #1 goto source for all things related to flashlight modding.

If I need something, I check there first before going anywhere else. Highly recommended! :+1:

If I lived in Utah, I’d be there in a heartbeat. Hey richard, you throwin out this box of d4’s? Depending on the medication, he might say yes. Good luck & speedy recovery.

So what was your question for Richard? Maybe we can answer it

“…and there have been several…”

I just checked, I have ordered from Richard 130 times. He takes care of ya, trust me. :wink:

I’ve spent a few thousand over there. Trust us, if you buy from him it will come.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Richard at Mountain Electronics. He only sells genuine stuff and stands behind what he sells. He has been very prompt and helpful with answering question I’ve had over the years. And he ships orders quickly in very good packaging.

Same here, I have ordered several times over the years and always got what I ordered. I ordered a few things back when Richard was recovering from his accident and received my order in a few days. Communication was done through Lisa. I Highly recommend Mtn.Electronics. :+1:

Sorry to pile on but I’m with Dale and the rest. I just checked as well and I show 44 orders over the last 2 and a half years without any complaints. Whenever there was a stock discrepancy Lisa handled it and gave me options to make it right. They are a two person team that has handled over 25000 orders in that time. To say I am impressed is an understatement.

Yup, best in the States! Would never hesitate to order from Richard!

I live about 7 miles from him and sent an email a couple of years ago to see if he did any will call. Never got a reply. I have never purchased from him but have referred others.

On top on the dirt bike accident, he is also a law school student IIRC.

I’ve ordered from him too, all the way from the other side of the ‘small lake’ :smiley:

The little communication I had with him was just normally good.

True. But orders go hand in hand with good communications with any type of business. The lack of any type of communication is waht is issue here. Not the legitimacy of business. I do appreciate all the feedback though.

Excellent store with great products, only the real thing here.
Not cheap regarding shipping charges to The Netherlands but very reliable.

Never had to use the contact form re complaints of questions……

I get the communications thing, but this is a small operation that offers a lot of specialty items that are otherwise difficult to find or would need custom work. I’ve personally had nothing but fantastic experiences with MTE, everything has arrived on time, as ordered, and functions as stated.
