What I think happens is that with little batches stock shows up, you can order them but not not pay and wait for price drop, but the ordered lights are not reserved for you until payment, someone else pays full price and your lights are gone. And the price adjustment is not done until there’s new stock to fulfil your order.
Or they are in hibernation over there at the Sofirn store
Hum, I had an authomatic price adjustment from 15,75€ to 14,87€ (far from the 11,62€ I paid for my 2 black C01).
I sent a message to Sofirn with my BLF name, placed my order and now I’m waiting as well!
Today is 1st day of the 2019 Year and maybe Sofirn staff also had a day out! Even if their New Year is different from most of ours!
I’m sure they will adjust our prices
I think in this case “shipped” only means, “address label and postage has been printed”
next the packaged item has to get loaded into a mailroom basket
it has to get loaded into a truck
it has to arrive at the shipping sorting center, and dumped in a big pile on the ground
it has to get sorted and loaded into a shipping container
the container has to get loaded onto a boat
and THEN they have to start rowing… LOL!
once it crosses the great water, it will again get dumped into a sorting pile
will get loaded into a basket, onto a truck, and will arrive at yet another sorting center, another basket, another truck
and when it finally reaches my local post office, it will again be put in a big pile, sorted, basket, and loaded into a truck
Price adjustment here too, plus site errors in the payment process including spontaneous log-out halfway and a reversing of the discount called exchange correction or something. Cancelled payment, went to glibal site, logged in again and then payment went well.
I order ~10-20 times a month on AE and only had a few times this problems. If i try it 1-2 days later it will usualy work. It happens only on AE. Ordering from BG, GB Fastech. . . workes without problems.
I think it is a problem between AE and Paypal. But aslong it resolves by itself it is not a big problem. Contacting the support with this will end with the same solution. They will ask you to wait for 24h and try it again. They say they will look into it and contact you after that but i never get any respond from their support. But aslong it is working a day or two later its ok.
I noticed a few problems with AEs payment system.
After talking with one or two sellers i know that it is not easy for them to set up the payment system on AE. And if a seller has not set every option right on AE it could lead to real problems (often it has to do with currency exchange . . . ). Had this problem a few weeks back. I confirmed the receive of the package (usually this is the moment AE is transfering the money to the seller. But i had set my AE to pay in €. But the seller had not set his AE right to receive €. Only $. So the money was hold by AE for ~a month till this was solved. Same problem when a seller adjusted a price a few weeks back (he adjusted the $ price) but i wanted to pay in €. It was not working. Solution from AE support: please cancel the order and ask the seller to redo the process with option to receive another currency.
@ People paying with € and price already adjusted:
How much did you pay for each light?
Sorry for the question but I’m trying to check how much these coloured lights will actually cost!
After the store authomatic adjustment (that I mentioned above) there was no further change.
I don’t mind paying the 14,87€ I have listed so far, but it the final adjusted value is much lower…I will wait!
Thanks in advance!
I had a surprise today when I arrived home
And now I say even more: good work to all that were involved in this project, djozz, Sofirn, iamlucky13 and many others I may have “lost track” along the way!!
2 awesome little lights
(BTW, the clips are tough!)
