Don’t hate the player, hate the game dogg.
Agreed. The 11.11 prices essentially bring it back almost in line with the previous perpetual sale prices, and applying coupons makes it just about equal. Nothing special…
we have normal promotion everyday, 11.11 is the best price and could use many coupons and code at same time

Any code for the SP40?
What an insane insanity, I hear you man.
11.11 isn't the best price, its the worst; see above. I don't know what coupons you're speaking ab…
AliExpress Select Coupons? I think I have never used them. My balance is now €36.84, or equal to 4x 11.11 coupons. LoL! :-D
What happens if I press USE NOW?
How do I know what items from my wish list I can use that balance on? 
I think what Jackie is saying is that 11.11 is the best price because you can use the coupons. Then the total cost is lower.
Without using the coupons, the price is not the best.
So if your not familiar with the coupons, of course the price looks high. Same for BLF related group buy codes. If you go buy a new light without the code the price looks higher. You have to know all the tricks to get the lowest price.
You have to use the 5$ off 65$ select coupons, the 1$ or 2$ shop coupons and a red Aliexpress coupon if you have. Then the price will rock. Sofirn’s Aliexpress store and some other stores allow you to use them all together.
It’s still very poor form to raise the price from (all prices USD) 48.99 to 61.24 (25% increase), and then advertise an 11:11 sale price of 40.42 (33% off, save $20.82) - when it’s more like 48.99 to 40.24 (~17.5% off, save $8.57).
While I don’t disagree that it’s still a nice drop from the average price, it’s nowhere near as large a saving as advertised, due to the immediately-before price jump. I know that laws in other countries don’t apply to AliExpress, but there’s definitely consumer laws against this in a lot of countries due to misrepresentation. Example here: Price displays | ACCC
I’m just disappointed that Sofirn has chosen to do so, when other brands have not. I’d be lying if I said my trust in them hasn’t been shaken.
Wellp, I was hoping to get an item with a full }) :LOVE: 
discount, guess my balance will probably remain unused for now. O:)
Whinners never get em deals, this aint the the US where complainers are king
Dont like it then dont buy 
More coupons for me !!!
Less than an hour for sales to start. We should see the lowest price of the year I guess.
I don’t disagree that the prices will be the lowest of the year, or that they’re a good deal - they’re just far less of a deal than is advertised.
Everyone can enjoy the deals, but I’ll be a conscientious objector on this one.
Nice, you managed to actually score one of those? I tried multiple times but always got errors when I tried to claim the coupon as soon as they became available.
Not everyone plays this way.
Hilarious using convoy as an example
Convoy doesnt even lower prices on aliexpress for 11.11 PERIOD
its the same price theyve always been
So folks love convoy NOT lowering prices, but hate sofirn for not lowering prices enought?
Hmmmmm
I don’t care about the level of discount, I care about the bait and switch. If you’re happy enough to ignore ethics for some cash off, you do you.
And yet i bet everyone here will ask sofirn for another sc31b 5.99$ code the next tine around 
“Ethics” is me not moaning about lower prices but setting my alarm to wee hours of the morning to collect these coupons, and playing aliexpress stupid game twice to get more of em
But then folks should boycott sofirn, till ive used the codes anyways 
Sofirn is trying to mislead their customers into thinking the discounts are larger than they really are.
Furthermore, according to djozz earlier message, they silently upped the promo prices as well, so people who put the items in their carts are likely to buy for more than they thought they would - and are likely to miss that.
Furthermore - in their store they showed a banner like “Click ‘follow’ to get a discount coupon”. The coupon never arrived….
Such attempts are not nice. They mean one must be always very alert when buying from Sofirn to avoid any traps.
I much prefer Convoy’s straight and honest pricing policy.
And I like deals. But I hate fake deals.
Ok then… All I needed to know.
