Cancel the order asap, ask for refund. Eventualy, they’ll cancel it.
It’s a well known practice (for Banggod and alike) to get a credit without interest…
If you preffer flood I have the SP36 and Astrolux S43. From my collection S43 is the best flooder with Nichia LEDs. Big drawback is that it doesn’t have good thermal mass like SP36 and go hot very quickly. SP36 have a very good balance between spot and spill. Another good choice maybe is Sofrin C8F which is also multiemitter flashlight.
Yeah, I have them both giving me refunds. With Banggood I had to ask about 3 times for them to actually issue the refund but with Gearbest I had a pay 14 days after purchase thing with Paypal so all good on that front. It was just rather annoying because I spent ages researching the SP36 and had settled on that.
I will check out the S43, thanks for the heads up :+1:
Both websites are known for slow shipping, shoddy customer service, and occasionally having inaccurate inventory. I’ve had worse experiences with Gearbest than Banggood, but this is relatively normal.
A Paypal dispute is often a good solution if they give you a hard time about a refund.
Buy it directly from Sofirn via AliExpress.
Note that with astrolux yr SOL if anything goes kaput after 60 days or so
At least sofirn makes an effort for some CS and warranty
Shipping from Bangood it is no very slow. I ordered from them couple of flashlights and they come to my country (Bulgaria) for about 2 weeks. From Sofrin Aliexpress store I’ve had slower deliveries time from them for about 2-4 weeks.
I have a few different orders which have been sitting in “processing” for over two weeks. I just hope they make it before Christmas!
It looks like the ‘in processing’ is a way of not saying ‘out of stock’ 
Dont order stuff unless its in stock
Thats all there is to it …
Simple enough IF an item listing has some indication it is out of stock but the problem is there is no such info. It makes no sense to put an out of stock item on sale.
This is NOT in stock …
This is IN stock
On banggood its easy to tell
Of course they will sell stuff thats not in stock … its banggood 
Being a noob to Banggood etc it would make a lot more sense to just put in stock or out of stock imo. Maybe I missed where it might have said the amount of processing days.
Yeah but then you wouldnt be fooled into buying out of stock items …
An actual banggood-fu sticky guide would probably be most helpful for folks
However i suspect this may upset certain interests and people here 
True, I understand the reasons why. Probably along the same lines as them offering you credit first rather than a refund :+1:
Sofirn now has an eBay store (store name is “sofirnlight”).
Fireflies E07 Nichia version might work well for you (can buy direct from their website (ff-light.com) or Nealsgadgets.com). Great light!
Have 3 orders with Banggood. Used codes from BLF and all three have been processing for over a week. Now they moved to “Repurchase”. What does that mean? No shipping data, no refund or explanation given. The new purchase $ is without codes.
Hey guys, how you're doing & buying in the lockdown? Would love to know your opinions.
Those are two outfits that I simply will not order from.
I have never had problems with any other Chinese supplier, and some have been extremely helpful even when it wasn’t completely necessary.
