Here yaā go, a picture of some packages loaded on a ātiller steerā launch & sitting on the dock on the bayā¦. waiting to be loaded on the āSlo Boatā from China to begin their journey toward delivery. .
Any questions why Standard Free Shipping sometimes a long time??
To all those out there waiting on your orders to arrive from China: I feel your discomfort.
One of my packages from China took over 3 months to show up at my home.
Personally I do not mind slow, however this was overdoing it ā¦
This was an exception though, as most of my orders arrived within 3 to 6 weeks.
And up till now not a single package got lost
I am still amazed by how this āfreeā shipping from China actually can function at all; especially when you look at those pictures of the complete chaos of the logistics.
The trade-off of no-cost shipping, however seems to be no-speed delivery.
Especially during peak periods, such as Thanksgiving, Sinterklaas (Netherlands only), Christmas, or Chinese New Year.
Up to 3 months?! I think the seller shipped it late in that case. Iāve never had a package take more than 3 weeks to arrive from China, but then again, this is the first time Iām expecting an overseas package during the Christmas/New Year holidays.
Its so much like my old fav original Thrunite Ti, (year 2011) but to be honest the Ti has much better build. I was a bit disappointed that this is not as good as the Ti, but probably I was having very high expectations. This is my first high CRI light and I was really looking forward to it. However even there I am a bit underwhelmed, again probably I was expecting too much. Or thrunite kinda raised my expectations for a $5 light.
Check the attached comparison pics with the Ti and the beam as comparison as well. The Ti has much more throw compared to the C01. BTW, I love the moonlight mode on the Ti, its my goto bedside light.
The tailcap design on the C01 is awesome! I will have to get a magnet for it once I figure out the size neededā¦
I just did a tracking update, and my Sofirn CO1 order is now in the USPS systemā¦ my lights are at a postoffice 30 miles away from me. My order was placed on Nov10, it got to the cargo area in China on Nov 26 and reached California 10 days later
I am very grateful that the Sofirn C01 has built in compatibility with the Fenix E01. I also appreciate that they use the same potting material. Thanks for all you have done to make this project happen.
I think there is a slight misunderstanding about twist resistance, and threads
the stiffness of a twisty, and the amount of play in the threads is controlled by the O Ring
if you remove the O ring from a Fenix E01 (or any other twisty), you will see what I meanā¦
without the O ring there is slop in the threads, and very little twisting resistance. This is normal.
My order placed Nov 10. Not received yet, but did get an email today that my purchase protection has been extended til Dec 27. Havenāt heard anybody else report that yet. Guess they expect a delay on my package. Heard here that those who ordered first end up on the bottom of the warehouse HEAP !! Lolā¦and that means they ship lastā¦.LOLā¦.Oh well. Wait or Wait I canāt decideā¦
