Something is not right with banggood and shipping times..

Yes, but without the waitingā€¦ :wink:

ā€œValue Brandā€ā€¦ is that the ā€˜brand nameā€™ or the name of a Supermarket chain?? Iā€™m not famaliar with it.
But thanks for the tipā€¦ā€¦ :+1:

I will eat anything. At this point in my life I need a little excitement. If it kills me, then so be it. I will cook my Chinese Value Brand with my Chinese flashlight and then type on my Chinese keyboard that I got a case of the runs. Then I will make an appointment with my Chinese doctor who will prescribe for me a diet high in MSG and questionable meat products. Repeat. :smiley:

Back on-topic. Still waiting for the replacement emitter for the L6 I ordered from banggood to ship. Itā€™s bad enough to receive a defective item and worse to jump through hoops to get them to agree to remedy, but to wait even longer while ā€˜customer serviceā€™ responds with empty promisesā€¦ Iā€™m done being ā€˜reasonableā€™. Iā€™ll be filing a paypal complaint in the morning.

Meanwhile - orders got split out (oddly) while things were out of stock. Latest split was Convoy S2+ Nichia UV, and Astrolux A01. Sometime in there, the Convoy was in stock, but A01 still waiting.

A01 got cancelled this morning so Iā€™ve sent an email asking when refund will be processed, but in the meantime, the S2+ is out of stock again! So hopefully they put one aside while it was in stock (Iā€™ll believe it when I see it), or thatā€™ll get cancelled on me too.

Note to self, donā€™t order more than one item at a time.

If mayhem breaks out I'll go to plan B... potatoes. Easy to grow, just toss a potato in the ground and it never stops giving

...back to the topic, I ordered from BG as well and they still haven't shipped my order. Seems they need more financing to get going lately.

Noooooooooā€¦ i wanted one of those!

You say that but i did exactly that a couple of months ago and my carpetā€™s now mouldy.

Okā€¦that pretty much muzzled my dark humor. :confounded:

On topicā€¦

Is there, or is there not a problem? Iā€™m a bit confused if we are now talking about post holiday shipping delays or outright failure.

Is it safe to order from them?

well i asked them to remove my flashlight that just keeps changing date few times now and the other item shipped out today so imgood for now, but weird they never contacted me since feb 19 that the item is out of stock if i wanna keep wait or whatever, its safe to use them but dont order stuff that are not in stock ready to ship unless u wanna waitā€¦

So the problem is that they do not communicate ifā€¦

Aā€¦if itā€™s in stock. (Is that when you order or after you order and there is nothing there?)

Bā€¦shipping date.

Cā€¦shipped.

Correct on all?

(And that is why I like Amazon prime)

yeah more or less. i dont blaim them if a maker of an item keeps pushing the date forward and forward, but atleast be honest and email customers telling whats up not keep silence and quietā€¦ If something i wanna order is out of stock and i see weeks later estimated arrival then it makes no sense buy until they have it in stock.

Very strange my 20$ L2 was shipped on 3 Mar with email notify expect delivery on 14 Mar but now the shipping date was changed to 5 Mar /16 Mar expect delivery date in the order details so wonder if it really shipped or it will change again ?

thats odd, if u go to that order, does it have a tracking number ? either its shipped or not, if u got email its shipped but its not then i dont know really lolā€¦ they seem confused these days about lots of stuff.

My apologies also for posting links to the website of USAā€™s ā€œdeleted contentsā€. I did not intend to offend anyone, but in retrospect my posting those links were a clear violation of BLF Rules.

Thanks a lot to those who went back and modified/deleted their inappropriate posts, itā€™s much appreciated!

Awwwww, whatā€™d I miss??

Someone PM meā€¦ :smiling_imp:

The Convoy S2+ was put aside for me :smiley: I found a website that actually gives tracking info where Banggoodā€™s shows ā€œTracking info has not yet been receivedā€ on their app: https://postal.ninja

Count another victim for Banggoodā€™s current state of shipping oddities. Item was in stock and ready to dispatch within 24 hours so I placed my order. 7 days later, my order is still ā€œProcessingā€ and then I get an email this morning saying ā€œWe regret to inform you that the item canā€™t be shipped with the shipping method you chose due to some specific restrictions of the logistics carrierā€ and I can either change the shipping method or cancel the order. I chose to change the shipping method but of course now the item is out of stock! :person_facepalming:

After waiting two weeks for the replacement xhp70 to ship for the L6 I received from banggood I gave up on banggood support and started the paypal dispute. Iā€™m really disappointed by replies promising the replacement emitter would ship soon, then asking me to continue waiting and shifting blame to the supplier again.
