Rating: Aurabuy.com [AVOID]

this seems to be a popular idea, this forum is the best advertising for these smaller vendors but tthey have a hard time playing by the rules. . as for me personally I would have never known about fastech , aurabuy manafont ,wallbuys etc without blf.

I know, it’s just mind boggling that a company would blow their chances here. They don’t even need to pay for anything. Just word of mouth and honesty can result in an instant success with BLF members.

they are unable to trust honesty

baitin’ and aswitchin’…

but the dream goes on

I bought their XM-L C8 for $7.99.

It’s the cheapest light I’ve ordered, so I figured it as a live & learn.
…still don’t know what to do with it as quality is not worth the cost to upgrade components; Would rather just get a better host and start over. Someone else might be pleased with the price/performance though.

I guess they were just ok, except for all the shilling!

And Yes, I would not deal with any of these places were it not for the references here on BLF. Thanks for looking out for the community.

LowLumen, you are about 880 posts away from a giveaway… hold onto it until then :wink:

In that case I’ll buy from other shops. Or better yet, direct to the manufacturers’ online shops.

Well this is disappointing. While working on my review for one of their free light samples, Kevin was very communicative and responsive to myself and others that were inquiring about their new store. There was excitement at the prospect of acquiring a new vendor that spoke good English, maintained good prices, great products and stayed on top of their business. Many of us collaborated with the same thoughts. Although my flashlight review was thorough, aurabuys might not have enjoyed some of the negative comments I made about the light (they didnt want to send me any more after that :D), but at least I was honest and thorough; where far to many BLF shill whores are not.

Its sad how some vendors seem to do well for a while, then drag themselves down to the common Chinese mentality of low-dollar business practices that we are all too familiar with. Youd really think theyd have all learned by now!!

Kevin, If you’re reading… that was very stupid of your company. Tell your boss that BLF will be very happy to send a dozen rotten goose eggs for you to break over his head. Buh-bye aurabuy!! :Sp

Warned them and give a chance?

i doht know if it was Aurabuy, Bonggood or any of the two. but not too long ago i received 1 free POLICE3W fleshright, without shilling or nothing, and i still use it. the clicky is cr*pping out, so that's not good. the light came in a little gift box with break-away wrist strap and when it works, the clicky and such, then it produces light. so kudos to Aurabuy and Boonggood for the working merchandise! :)

Aurabuys really screwed up by doing this shilling here.I had contacted Kevin about doing a review here and they decided to go with someone else.They sent me a free light just for signing up to do a review,which now seems like they were trying to buy people out here.I think companies that spam,shill and post fake reviews are out of their minds because it will be obvious in a short time.They should take lessons from Fastech!

I ordered an UltraFire C8 from Aurabuy at $8.99 and everything went smoothly. Yes their were some flaws with the light like the dirty LED dome, the absence of thermal paste between the LED star & the pill, and the absence of grease on the threads, but these were easily corrected and wasn’t a big deal for me considering the price I paid. I posted a good feedback based on my experience with them.

I only bought from Aurabuy once so I’m basing my assessment on that single transaction. Others may have a different experience. :~

+1 I agree. FastTech don’t edit reviews made by costumers. Even reviews with bad ratings are posted and for this I very high respect for FastTech.

Kevin did send me a LONG list of shill accounts that his employees created. So I appreciate his honest admission. And I sincerely hope they don’t do this again.

Can we get a look at this list?

Sure, but all their posts are removed now:

The first two I recognise, but Merry_cherry too?! I thought that might be Cherry of Wallbuys. >.<

That doesn’t seem like a very “LONG” list :)…

I agree. I’d demand a refund!

**lol. one is too many.

That list looks complete to me. Even though Merry_cherry and Gerry0902 did not post a bunch of Aurabuy links, their posts looked pretty suspicious. I'm glad Aurabuy has finally come clean.
