Anyone else have trouble with their order from Aurabuy?

Lol, never heard of that…

I see no changes for my paypal disputes, it’s still 45 days…? Is this different in some countries or what do you mean?

It’s just 6$ and we just have ordered so we don’t need to think about future things. Just wait and hope it will arrive…

Here is thread about 180 days;

And for me my order is for quite a bit more than $6, let’s just say I ordered a few. :slight_smile:

I know Paypal will eventually refund my money, just a question of how long that will take.
But, hey who knows, maybe it is a legit sale, that is why I had to try.

Yes. I live at Latin America, will not change here, 45 days.

I have write to dd4 customer service, said the tracking did not work. Now will wait the answer.

Friggin Unbelievable just shipped on Monday arrived 3 days!

Got my two JacobA60 flashlights via FedEx today (in a DHL wrapper)! Total of charge to CC was $11.35 shipping included. Just did a double check on my CC. I did not check any special shipping. Holy Sh-t… never ever had any seller drop the ball in my favor when it comes to shipping. DD4.com/Aurabuy can’t run a business this way for long.

BTW… Both A60s packed well and work

Maybe there is hope for me yet.
Thanks for the update.
If you get a chance see if there is paste or paper under the star. That was a problem at one time.

Congrats. I am surprised :open_mouth:
Willie could you check if there is a tracking number on your package? Is it the same as in the dd4 shop?

Thanks mute for the link, this will only be a future change from 18th November…we will see how that goes but I think it is necessary because 45days is way to short for the Chinese sellers. I often have to file a dispute to get additional 20days…

Never checked the tracking number cuz I figured it was bogus. I did track it after receiving and it was a real FedEx tracking number showing the delivery. I ordered a single A60 via Paypal that was also shipped on Monday but the tracking number was a deadend on FedEx. Will post when it arrives but bet it’s on the slow boat. The FedEx had to be a mistake. Maybe the Karma fairy is being kind for all of the 60+ days shipping and receiving an empty opened package BS lately.

I have bought about a total of 14 A60s and several inexpensive chargers for my friends from Aurabuy. So far they are the only seller that sent me a $60 package via EMS, the most expensive and fastest ‘free shipping’ (by a vendor) service out of China.

EMS even has its own website and tracking system:

http://www.ems.com.cn/mailtracking/e_you_jian_cha_xun.html

I have only good words for Aurabuy.

Agreed.
I was afraid that this may be a scam on the account of them closing their regular web site kind of out of the blue.
Sometimes others will come in and steal files and try to profit on someone’s good name.
I bought other items from them other than the A60 and always got what I ordered, sometimes wait times were quick, other times over 1 month.
So you could say standard fare for China retailer.

Never had to file a dispute and was saddened to hear of their closing.
It seems like the DD4 website is a virtual Mall of sorts with many different companies going thru their web portal.
This is probably a less expensive way for Aurabuy to liquidate remaining inventory or to just keep on selling with far less overhead.
Sorry If I made it sound like they were scammers.
Thanks,

Keith

We are very happy for you, really.

But, today I’ve receved another email…“Store Aurabuy has shipped your order # 1430218433, please track your order laterfor delivery updates” Another tracking not working and another broken link.
What do you think about?

Price of the Jacob went back up to $10.## Also, as before, there was no check out button. Checked this morning. :frowning:

Ok, after 3 emails, today I read this. Try to put the tracking on the website they give me, read this:
2014-11-07 09:12:02 SZX Shipment operation completed 操作完成
2014-11-07 01:48:40 SZX Shipment arrived at facility 货物到达作业中心
:bigsmile:
With Google translate, it’s all ok, they have shipped the Jacob. So now must just wait the same old month…

Mine arrived today. Says something with sky Net as shipping company and got delivered via dpd…
Fast shipping, excellent packaging, very nice deal. I saved the letter and label and will investigate a bit later if I have more time.
I can’t imagine that they always ship with such a company, because I guess it is expensive.

I wouldn’t have mind if it had took the normal month or longer for such a good price.

I just did a short check and the light is in good condition for a budgetlight.
No paper disc under the star. high mid strobe. Pulls around 1.5A@4V from powersupply.
This is my first a60 so I have no direct comparison.

P.S. They seem to have many plastic bags…

WOW!
But…have you choose “free shipping” option or not?

Me too!
Well, will wait with less anxiety :smiley:

Well some days ago I reported trying to get an order that finally seemed to complete: Anyone else have trouble with their order from Aurabuy?

Today I got a FedEx (not the method I chose!) package containing nothing I ordered and a couple of things I didn’t order.

The paperwork inside shows the right thing that I ordered — but it’s not there.

I left them feedback at their site, which curiously today only shows Chinese, I can’t get it to open in English now.

Who knows. Maybe some Customs officer took home the fuzzy slippers I’d purchased for the kids, and threw in some junk from his pockets before taping up the great big FedEx envelope and sending it to me.

:~ |(

Holy shit!
Take a photo/some shots and email them. If they want to keep you as a client, they have to refund o something else!
I hate this thing! :weary:

I’ve managed to send them messages through their website finally.
Upper right corner, there are some Chinese characters, click those, and it will switch to English (at least, today)

To send a message on their page about an order:
— first guess the name that will work (“dd4” works, “aurabuy” does not, tho’ that is the seller for what I ordered)
— name that id as a “friend”
— then you can send an internal message about an order.

Could not believe it as they kept sending me emails saying they didn’t have the right phone #.
Anyway, they still have the dirty lens but do not seem to have the paper disc under the star (at least on the one I took apart). I’ll check through the rest of them tomorrow.

First one worked fine for like 3 cycles then went dim.
So I started messing with it, ending up throwing out the stock driver and putting one out of the Ultrafire F13’s from OL’s group buy a few months ago. I had resistor modded that one and it pulls 3.43 amps at the tail cap on high at start up settles around 3.2, so in it went with a used XM-L T6.
Cleaned the lens as best I could without having access to 0000 steel wool.
Braided the tail cap as well as the driver spring.
Had to use one of the thin butterfly spacers over the emitter from FastTech. Ground down the reflector bottom outside edge as it was wanting to short out the wires.

Turned out great, no rings and it still throws good, better than most C8’s and has nice spill.
Has really good thermal path as the head gets nice and warm, output holds well.

WARNING;
For whatever reason these Jacob’s do weird things if you use a long cell. Even after changing the driver, I think it has to do with the battery tube being anodized and maybe the tube is not making good contact with the tail cap ring when using a long cell. I found that by taking the brass colored cap off the driver spring it helps with cell compatibility

After modding this one, it is not the lazer that the stock small die emitter is, but I have lot’s of them to toy with.
I think the next mod is going to be a de-doomed XPL.

Anyway, hats off to Aurabuy, they did deliver.
Later,
Keith

I hope that my work ok, I’m not into modding…
