Did Banggood send me trash instead of a Samsung 30Q?
After 20 hours of charging, the brand new Pink 18650 one is still dead 0Volts,
I tried to reposition so the button top gets good contact, switched sides etcā¦
The red one is a salvage maybe 15-20 yeaars old and charged no problem and shows 4.13V on a multimeter,
^ I recall reading recently about this, and I believe there was a very thin plastic film around the pole(s). You might want to check that out.
Can the positive pole be a thin transparent film?
/\ ā¦ā¦ Yepā¦. it is so thin you canāt really even see it. But it is there! Ask me how I knowā¦ 
. 
.
Sooo, it is not dead caramba. The charger has never recognized it because of the thin plastic & no charging has taken place in all those hours of sitting there. 
God bless you all!!! you are all right and it is so thin it wouldāve never crossed my mind.
Now she is charging like a happy puppy.
Five days after escalating the paypal case regarding the L6 I received from banggood paypal is still waiting for their reply.
Good!! :+1:
Banggood shipping to Australia was very good. About 2 weeks.
Now I have 2 orders supposed to have shipped on 03 Feb & no delivery as at 15 Mar.
Definitely something going on with their shipping.
weird, do u even have a tracking number or is it free shipping ?
On February 20, I ordered Amutorch X9 on BG. The flashlight has not yet been sent. When ordering it should be sent in 11 working days, then it was not in stock, then shipment in early April and now is not in stock again. 
The last few orders are disaster. Several months of waiting
yeah something is really strange i dont know how to explain it seems like a rollercoaster if certain items are in stock or notā¦
I also had an order and i had notice the āprocessingā take longer than 24 hour. So i decide to contact BG via email. Well, they response back which mean they had good customer service. About the item, they tell out of stock and ask to wait to 20 april. Then they ask me to choose whether to wait or refund back. I choose to wait. For me there isnāt issue here, YET! I guese had to wait this date: 20 april 2019 and let see if they really hold their word. Because if they donāt, ārisk is highā.
My biggest issue lately is ātrackingā - yeah okay haha. Shipped on the 5th March, and still not a peep on any tracking sites whatsoever.
Hover over āShipping Infoā in My Orders and get āNo Tracking Number Availableā, but if I go into the order, thereās a number. Riiiight.
i have an order that is soon almost one month old, its shipped long ago with priority direct mail but still tracking number shows nothing,
Order Placed Date: 2019-02-28 07:10:27
Shipped Date: 2019-03-03 13:49:41
Expected delivery date:
2019-03-23 13:49:41
and my latest order after that i will probably get soon, this doesnt make any sense to me
The shipment item has arrived at the country of destination.,The shipment item is under transportation
Mar 21, 2019 12:45
The item is on transport to the country of destination
Mar 19, 2019 16:31
Yeah, kind of useless. This was part of a split order, The first part shipped out on the 3rd arrived on the 11th and tracking worked-ish (not on their site, had to go to postal.ninja/en/) ; second part shipped on the 5th and not a peep.
Sigh.
sent them a ticket, order placed feb 28 and shipped march 3 should have been here long ago with priority direct mail, unless they messed up and shippied it with standard free shipping then i will get madā¦
And it will never make any sense either. Thatās just how it is sometimes with shipping from China. 
I have an order that is very similiar to your situation right nowā¦. except it was ordered longer ago than yours was. 
ā¦ 
Sooner or later they will comeā¦. I hope anyway.
Free shipping so no tracking. Value is around AUD25 so not expensive.
Iāve raised a complaint & starting to get the usual run around.
Please wait 18 more days etc. etc.
so I guess I will wait a few more days, may be delayed by bad weather !!!
Finally received.
Took 2 months to be delivered because ā-
Was told package was sent on 07 Feb but package was marked sent 02 March
Not very honest Mr Banggood
Well, after a ten day wait for banggood to finally reply to paypal and two days review paypal presented me with one option - ship the defective light back to banggood (China) at my expense and provide tracking info. After banggood confirms receipt paypal would issue a refund. So, rather than providing a replacement emitter as was promised by banggood or partial refund to cover the cost of a replacement from a reliable seller with paypalās solution banggood gets the light to resell to another buyer and Iām out the cost of shipping. That is, if they do acknowledge receipt and are honest about the itemās condition. Over a month wasted trying to resolve this and thanks to paypal I wind up getting screwed. No option to disagree with or appeal this decision, just upload tracking info. This was my first paypal claim after over fifteen years as a paypal user. So much for paypal ābuyer protectionā.
If I sent the item via usps priority international which provides tracking the prices START at $25.85. Paying $26.00 so maybe Iāll get the $40.57 back is NOT an acceptable solution.
