DInodirect discount on C8 Q5 + battery +charger, just 10.30$ (Be quick!!) + else

Thanks for the heads up. Did you try with PP express checkout?

EDIT : That would still ask for shipping option in PP express checkout :P

Direct PP checkout seems to work.

Found a working coupon "cabin10". Now makes the deal even better - $9.27

I buy some stuff from DD and i had no problem, only some delay (maybe just lucky) but is it true that shipping is so slow and customer service usually doesn't answer..

The deal is really good. On manafont the same kit is $19. The problem is that you can't order it with free shipping. Maybe is only a mistake or maybe not...

The deal is still up on that C8. The coupon (cabin10) works and its showing free shipping now.

Now in HK are 6 in the morning. Maybe they will fix the problem when they start to work.

The coupon works but no free shipping for me..

Very weird. I didn't order but came back here first. When I went back to order it showed the full deal in my cart and free shipping with the correct discount for the coupon. But then when I went to pay with paypal it goes straight to an error screen. Tried several time and the same each time. About 7 hours to go on the deal so I'll retry again later.

DD have worked hard earning their 'Avoid' rating https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/186

Since one of their 'cons' reads "Employs deceptive marketing campaigns by temporarily manipulating prices and promotions" I'm surprised to see so many being tempted to take the risk.

With coupon

Product Total: US$ 9.27
Shipping: US$ 66.38
Insurance: US$ 0.00
Total:US$ 75.65

LOL

try clearing your cookies .. it just sounded like the right thing to say .:)

i see the problem .. the light says sunday .. but it's monday here .. amybe you can't buy a monday light on a sunday or vise versa

Well you Do get a little wound up ..i remember you not being able to buy the sony battery charger off amazon too ... you need to chill out and remember this isn't gonna be some super light either .. it's probably a bad knock off like the t-mart c8 that everyone got so mad about because the pill and tail were junk.....maybe some of these sites don't want to tear down an item off their site and just have a way of freezing an item while they change prices or descriptions etc ..maybe someone has been screaming at them .. "where's my batteries and charger" and they left that in the description by mistake .. i don't know .. just thinking out loud .. but relax man the deals will come to you .. you're a natural born hunter .. you'll find em ...grrr

Uh, why are people complaining about something they can't even buy at the price they want to? I mean, maybe it's supposed to be $10, or maybe not and they just screwed up the listing, but afaict nobody's even paid for anything and yet there's so much complaining here.

For ~$10 I (and many others here) got a similar, and shitty, c8 clone from tmart. Even then you either go through the process of returning it if not satisfied or learned a lesson for not very much money. I swear, some of these chinese stores aren't very good, but their customers are even worse.

Please do not worry, i will check it and fogure it out. i will keep the members here to know the details later. thanks



T-mart is a similar shop to DX, KD, DD. In the same deal, it was the intl members who somehow got the proper lights instead of shitty one we did in the US. I wasn't happy but said pretty much the same then.

I've stated many times in the past these dealers would do better to improve their CS up to intl standards. It's ultimately the customer's frustration that makes the difference between a simple mistake and some greater rant.

Shipping is $39.13 for me on a ten dollar light that kind of ruins this deal for me and reminds me of this.

Thank You gorran for saying what I and many others were thinking.

Anybody actually successfully order one of these with the free shipping? Something seems amiss...
