Look at this post http://www.budgetlightforum.cz.cc/node/379

Can't say I have noticed any difference. My last order from 4 days ago still says "waiting for supplier", the previous order from 3 weeks ago is still waiting for one item. This is pretty normal DX stuff. I don't mind much that it takes a while but I wish they would admit to stuff not being in stock and give some idea of when they will actually be able to ship it. Or if they will be able to ship it. If they were to say something like "Shipping takes 1-3 weeks" rather than "in stock" I'd be a lot happier.

I suspect it varies by season depending on the load on HK Post. I don't order from DX from the end of October until into January as that will take forever to get the stuff and ship it - then the post will take forever.

The best measure is probably time to ship rather than time to arrive. HK Bulk Mail is almost always slower than regular mail, but that costs less which is reflected in lower prices for us which is a fair compromise.

Lately KD has turned over a new leaf - they used to take approximately forever but my last few orders from KD have all been faster than DX.

None of the stuff I've ordered last couple weeks have been shipping. Now it'll be at least after the chinese holiday. The neutral drop-in from like a month back now says "temporary stock shortage, contact us if necessary". Well I wrote them a week ago, and....nothing.

Goddamn DX.

It's taking DX forever to issue me a refund. I ordered the Eastward thinking it has an R5 but thanks to the knowledgeable folks here who said it doesn't have an R5, I canceled my order immediately. This was back on 9/6. Without any refund issued, I emailed customer support on 9/21 and they said they would cancel it in 1-7 days. The status shows Pending Refund Authorization and I still haven't received my refund.

Same thing for a 504b here. I cancelled it right away to order a Skyray xp-g instead. Now after a month I've order the 504b again (LOL), and still haven't gotten the refund for the original. Sent them a notice a week ago and .... nothing.

I see in posts above that some rightly so complains for DX´s seemingly non existing will to answer

mails and not make a refund when requested to do so.

Like agenthex I had ordered a warm white dropin and got the same message: temporary stock shortage,

contact us if necessary. I knew what that meant, I´ll never get it, so I requested a refund. I also knew

that if I ever got an answer, it would take a long time, so at the same time started a dispute at PayPal.

I also knew that I´ll probably still not hear anything from DX, so after 2-3 days I changed the dispute to a

claim. An hour or so later my mailbox showed a mail from DX: Order cancelled and I have been refunded.

Thats the way to do it. Dont wait for DX to answer, they dont, go to Papa (they need him!) and get your

money back at once.

I tried to wait and send 2 mails. Took them 32 days.

My wrong driver will be replaced, complained 25th and got the promise of replacing it on 30th, I got the impression that a citation of DX forum entries (with people who had the same problem) and sending many pictures helps, because they won't ask so many times for different things ... with each answer taking a week to respond. Now waiting for supplier... gotta' love DX for testing my patience.

The sorting funtion seems to work again on DX and even has been upgraded:

(warning this is showing 2000 items at once on one page!)

Finally! Thanks for the update. I was getting tired of looking through pages of face masks and screen protectors to find new flashlights! Not sure why there's a "Handmade Soap Set" listed under lighting? And it looks like Vectrex is returning to his terror-inducing practices of links that make my Chrome browser hang. ;-) You might want to try this link instead:

This is for all the sig deleting and giving the Chinese horrible ideas about strobe mode setups....

Maybe this is a good time to switch to firefox, which handles 4000 items per page just fine, if you have enough memory and a fast connection.

Only a hyperlinked word is a good word.

Appears that DX would prefer the CPF policy of disallowing any references to DX or any other budget vendor.

It must be a kind of contagious disease or something that the other guys have and now these guys have. Luckily BLF has been vaccinated against those kinds of diseases.

Google now does evil for a living. Prefer not to use them at all where I can avoid it. Even if I have to use a Micro$oft equivalent. They are less evil.

And Google is heading out of my life altogether. And that includes their @$£@$%%$ browser.

This forum email uses gmail but it is no big deal to lose that address. I've had to change all my contact details in the past. Don't want to have to do that again. But it has happened before and will happen again.

I find the RSS feed from DX works for me. If they announced it more than a couple of days ago and I don't know about it, it probably doesn't interest me.

RSS has its uses.......

BTW, they ended up deleting that thread a la CPF. No prob, I just created a new one. Maybe they'll ban me now.

You are a true Rebel agenthex.

Hi All!

You can login your dx account?

I can't login. I tried from explorer, firefox, chrome, from my pc, from my friend pc. But nothing happend.

When i click to "Need a password reminder?" then i become an email with my password, so this part works.
I can login to CSE (customer service express) too. But i can't login to the forum........and to my account.

(I am not a "new guy", I am EvoX but i lost my whole email adress to this BLF nickname and account. So antib=EvoX)

I can log in to my account - but DX have had my order for 6 days now and it still says "processing". Wonder if the stuff will arrive this year or not?

My order frm 17 oct. departed today... good luck with new orders.

I'm better. My order from Oct. 8 is at the custom now. I expect it tomorrow :)
