I just got an order in made Feb 27th, but it wasn’t actually shipped until March 10th— then it did get here in about 10 days. There were problems with the acct. login BEFORE the Feb 27th order, (I tried for about 10 days to get a working account) Then I just did the order without a login to get it done. Anyway, C. New Year (or whatever), and 5 weeks after the need… I have the stuff today.

But the last order before this one, was better. I ordered a C8.2 light (GREAT light btw) and it took about 15 days total then (I didn’t have an account then either- just ordered, got a Paypal request, paid it and waited until it showed. So tracking wasn’t available for either order (why I tried to get an account- which I did AFTER the fact- and so both orders were made before sorting that out)… but I got the stuff.

I appreciate KD’s products: they have a better than most C8 (their C8.2) where they are pushing the XPH leds in the market ahead of many in the budget domain. The C8.2 (XPH 50.2) I have really is worth the extra few bucks for what I got: Nice work all around with stiffer springs, good tolerances and quality that held up on my AR-15 6.8 SPC rifle for 50 rounds or so. I only replaced it for more throw and a custom driver (UI) I can manage better for a gun (MUST have FULL on/off mode for remote pressure switch use). The C8.2 did OK still as it had memory (so as long as I left my light on for 3 seconds+ at a time I was good on the gun), but it was retired to my wife’s gym bag (she goes at 5am; Mon-Fri)— and she uses it daily and likes the muggle UI.

My last order was for parts (for my Sofirn C8F builds) and yes— they are hard to find on the site. BUT again, prices are decent and the KD folks are trying to keep stock which is handy when buying in smaller lots for fair money. And compared to other overseas sellers (I’m in the US), I think KD is (on average) about the same wait as many others (like AliExpress, GBest, and a few others). If KD processes the order and gets it out- they are faster than most, in fact. But small companies all have to manage with limited resources so I can be patient as long as my future orders don’t ALL take as long as my last one did :wink:

KD is better than average product quality (imo) for the same terms as most out there and so with that quality, I’ll keep using them as needed.

AND… if they ever get C8.2 PARTS (they show but don’t list for sale yet)… they will sell more to we modders to use on our KD lights we bought already (and are ready to tweak)!

I find Kaidomain excellent to deal with. Their KD Litker products are remarkeably bright and well made. I have several C8.2 lights with both XHP35 and XHP50.2 emitters. They are incredibly bright. By far the brightest stock c8.
My only complaints:
They dont offer a C8.2 with side switches.
They are slow to ship.

Hey WS,
Do you have the xhp35 in the HI? Many (including me) would like to know how it compares to the XHP50.2 (which I have and it throws very well for what it is). I’d love to know how much further your XHP35 “out-throws” the XHP50.2 (a good estimation would suffice). Thanks!

question-so which chinese vendor now is the best?BG?
i wonder,why for example intl-outdoor dont sell other brands…just a few of lights….WHY?

They all have their benefits, so it depends on what you’re after. Intl-outdoor is basically the home base of Hank Wang who is the person behind Emisar and Noctigon.

I ordered a bunch a few days ago. Led’s and drivers.

I was looking for anyone’s Kaidomain ship times.

I’ve never had any issues with KD. Nothing ever lost and all arrived as described. I live in Ohio, and I don’t think I’ve ever had anything arrive from KD in under 3 weeks.

Last month I placed my first order from there. From the day I ordered to delivery at my door: 24 days. Packed well and exactly as ordered. About to place another order.

My orders usually show up around 21 days. Sometimes a few days longer but I have got one or two in about 2 weeks.
So between 14 to 30 days to NC.
I have bought stuff from them for at least 10 years. Never had a problem that wasn’t resolved quickly.

Last order I placed a few weeks ago, I purchased 30 or so tailcaps, they sent one set in the wrong color. I emailed them along with my receipt and within a day they reshipped the correct colored tailcaps I had ordered and sent me a pic of the package with the tracking number on it. That’s how CS should be.
We all mess up sometimes its how we handle the situation and correct the problem that makes us different. :wink:

I really appreciate kaidomain even if my last order was a bit long to be shipped. Usually = average 3 to 5 weeks to France. I don’t mind to have to wait. It’s one of my prefered source to purchase bare emitters, recently Luminus SST-20 3000K and 4000K high CRI 90+, Cree XHP 70.2 N2 5A CRI 80 and a few others.

I’ve have done a dozen or so orders with Kaidomain in the past year. All my orders were delivered perfectly in 3-5 weeks here in North Carolina.

I was curious if shipping speeds from that side of the world had sped up. I’m just going to have to be patient.

Thanks You All.

Got my first of 6 orders in a time of 2 1/2 weeks to North Carolina. That’s pretty good.

Happy Thanksgiving BLF members.

I have had about a dozen or more orders with KD, they usually take 3 weeks to arrive, so far no problems

Hi

I had noticed your problem about the DHL does not deliver to your country.

I will help to follow your problem.

Sorry for any inconvenience cause to you.

Thank you

Ban

Just got my first order from Kaidomain. 30 days for delivery, about average for me as far as overseas shipping goes. Products were packaged well. I got some emitters and one of those Stainless AA single mode lights. It is a really great light with a great tint and beam. It is certainly a good hunk of stainless. Thanks BanL. I just ordered some more emitters and a few batteries I was needing.

I can assure you DHL delivers in South Africa Ban, I’ve received items through their services many times in the past.

It may be better if you PM me here so I can adjust my order and change it accordingly.
EDIT: Fixed my problem so I’m satisfied, thanks

I placed quite a large order nearly three weeks ago, with expedited shipping, and on the order information page, it still says “processing”.

I have ordered from KD before with no problem, but this is starting to concern me, as I have not heard back from any of the support channels after multiple days now.

Even if there is a stocking or logistics issue, I would like to be informed of it, rather than being left in the dark and out of pocket.

It is not an amount of money I can afford to lose.

they are very serious…no problem with them…write them….i ordered for a huge amount from them…no problem really

this site steel your money. ware marked as in stock, are not in stock. after 8 days of no communication until the opening of the case via paypal kaidomain offered a refund. I have no experience with this kind of fraudulent business and naively waited for the kaidomain to give me a refund, but I missed the time to escalate the dispute through paypal (thx paypal great rules). then the seller stopped communicating with me and didn’t give me the money back. Avoid them - kaidomain only steel your money.”

If I was just a little bit sceptical (it’s a good job I’m not) you may be forgiven for thinking someone had set up a second account to post the comments above on their 1st post.
If that was the case (which I’m sure it isn’t) that would be a pretty childish thing to do. :person_facepalming:
Either way, genuinely I do hope you get your problem sorted out, I know it’s a real pain when these things happen, and they happen to all of us, don’t worry!
