Nitecore EA4 L2 (XM-L2) Announcement and Crazy Sale!

that’s the original EA4 - the XM-L2 version is the EA4 L2 and the slightly higher price.

Craig

Right... but that's for the older version of the light.

oh!!!!!!!! Thanks Craig. I wasn't going to buy one anyway since I already have the original. Which BTW, I'm extremely please with.

P.S. I thought I clicked on the link you provided. My Bad! This is what unfortunately happens when you get older!!

It is truly too bad that you have to apologize for living and selling in the US.

it really is. but its the truth. there is no way a us dealer can compete with chinese on shipping or price. the only way to make up for it is faster shipping and better customer service.

I knew this would happen. I just purchased 2x of the standard EA4 (which I love) and now something better is available. I love the fact that you're in California! So, I need to ask myself...do I really need 3x EA4's?

I’m a neutral kind of guy….

I'm definitely not neutral, I'm very opinionated...oh, we're talking about flashlights, sorry!!!

cool! not enough $ on hand to upgrade now… i love my ea4w

do you know if an ea4w l2 is in the works?

most of the time i find myself using the 2 lowest modes for practical use so an upgrade of 20-25% isnt necessary… at least not today… ask me again tomorrow and i may cave :slight_smile:

am I even considering it ? I already have an EA4 , EA4w is on the way …I think I need help :slight_smile:

no EA4W L2 planned at this time, finances a bit low from working on other projects :slight_smile:

Craig

I love it when you guys complain about the price being higher in the US. Have any of you guys searched for this light, or any other light for that matter, in the UK? Whatever the price is in Dollars, we just put a pound sign there instead! Rip off Britain!

For example I was looking for an Axe and wanted a Fiskars X27. Best on the market IMO. £147 Amazon UK, $46 Amazon US! I bought it from Amazon US and even with delivery and customs it was only £45! What makes it worse it is made in Finland which is closer to me than you guys!

I’d rather pay a few $$ for your superior service than save a few $$.

thanks :slight_smile: I very much appreciate the support.

Craig

Im dont know about axes, but many of their products are made in China :D!

:smiley: :smiley:

Yeah you are right but the Axes are made in Finland and so they should be for the price.

Marc.

Thanks for making this great offer available Craig!

I ordered my 1’st EA4 from you and I’m really pleased with it. What I really like about this light is that it’s great for gifting (with Eneloops & charger) to family & friends who wouldn’t be candidates for a Li-Ion battery light.

Can you buy the XM-L version from Fasttech for $9 less? Yes. $9 folks, come on; for a US based retailer and the newer LED?

Complete no-brainer for me! Like itguy08 said ``I’d rather pay a few $$ for your superior service than save a few $$.``

If you`re thinking of buying this light, how can you not go for for this exclusive version?

s. I’m just a customer, no affiliation with illumination supply or Craig.

I’ve often wondered if the web based shipping calculators that some vendors use for calculating USPS shipping to Canada are wonky. For example I’m looking at 3 Picatinny rails from a US based seller on eBay, they are $10.00 each, but then the shipping to Canada is $20.00 (USPS Priority Mail International Padded Flat Rate Envelope). Those 3 rails from a Hong Kong seller are $8.00 each with shipping included. So the math works out to this: rails from HK: $24.00, same rails from USA $50.00 (but perhaps as much as $70.00 if customs adds more taxes and duties and collection fees). I’m guessing that if those rails were sent via USPS First Class it would be about $3.00, but many US sellers are understandably reluctant to use this method as there is no tracking or accountability.

Then to make it even worse for Canadians trying to buy from US, for some reason if those cheap goods come from China, they simply seem to sail straight through customs. But from the USA, customs sets them to the side for valuation (another few days of delay), then slap duty and taxes on them, and then the Post Office charges another $5.00 fee to collect the taxes.

In spite of ‘NAFTA’, it seems like Canada and the UK are both severely disadvantaged when purchasing items from US sellers and the reason seems to be purely political on our side, and it doesn’t seem like USPS is doing much to help the US sellers either.

TS,

The USPS almost doubled their shipping costs to international customers. As for ebay, people set whatever shipping costs they’d like - many do this to get a bit more profit.

Yay, USPS. :frowning:
