New Convoy Deep Carry clip

I remember seeing in one of the listings something about paying for upgraded shipping on one item, and he will ship all together with the upgraded shipping.

Is $.88/clip the cheapest that these have been available for?

As far as I know, yes. Honestly I don’t know why he dropped the price that low. There can hardly be any profit at that price point. It was already a ridiculous steal at the original price. His choice though.

Thanks J-Dub74.

That’s what I did in the end and reading through the listings again I think that’s how it’s supposed to work.
Well I hope that’s how it works anyway. Guess I’ll find out soon enough.

The new ordering system could certainly do with some tweaking as it’s rather confusing as it stands.

Thanks for the replies.

Can confirm that you can upgrade the shipping on one small item, put a note in the comments about combining them all together, pay the bill and he’ll ship them all at the upgraded rate. Did it for me yesterday.

Nice. Thanks for confirming. :beer:

I ordered three pieces of this clip from Banggood.

Not sure if its a shipping issue or QC issue. One of them was bent upon arrival. The shape of the product does suggest that it is prone to damage, bending or being squashed during shipping in an envelope.

For anyone thinking of getting these, I suggest purchasing extras.

Got my 5 today, fits beautifully on the BLF A6 slightly above where the stock clip goes, on the tailcap actually. Also had a C8 with an XHP70 in it I put one on.

VERY happy.

Do you have to specifically request this? Is it not done automatically?

Edit: went back and left a message just to be on the safe side.

I really have no idea as I didn’t actually speak to Simon about it. I feel like he probably would’ve just done it automatically because it would be silly to send 2 small packages of small parts, but I left him a nice note requesting it anyway. Can’t hurt…

Oh dear, looks like we picked a bad time to place orders. :frowning:

From Simon’s site:

Sorry, all my friends. I have severe periarthritis of shoulder and orders increase day by day. Some orders will be handled slowly, pls be patient. So sorry for the inconvenience.”

Hope Simon gets well soon.

Edit: Despite all his problems, Simon still found time to reply to my message and confirm that my entire order will indeed be sent by registered mail. I’m impressed. :slight_smile:

Damn. :-/ I wonder if the order volume is high enough where it could make sense to hire an employee. Does Simon already have employees?

Hey Halo,
He does indeed already have some employees. I don’t know if they are enough, but he has people. Along with this move he was supposed to hire more people to help with his personal workload though I don’t know if that process is complete. I wish that he would have simply shut down during the last several weeks like many other Chinese businesses do during CNY. He has been dealing with this physical issue for a few months and he needs a vacation. All of his employees went on vacation and even the communication company that was wiring his new factory dropped everything half completed for CNY. He stayed.

Simon is very dedicated… Perhaps too much so at times. He’s dealing with an international market that has more twists and turns than what he was aiming for when he started Convoy. He wouldn’t have this problem if he hadn’t made such darn good products. :slight_smile: Over the next month I’m hoping to see more progress toward a smooth running business which should involve easing the burden on Simon directly. Thank you for your concern Halo.

Well. I got my 5 pack. I find the clips a tad long in 18350 configuration, and I’m not sure I like how the light feels in the hand with the big clip. I also find it a bit loose in thin pockets.

That said, it is surprisingly firm and quite well made. Very good value. It may not replace all my bolt on convoy clips but I think it’s quite good.

Almost 44% price increase on the deep carry clip. Not really surprised though, $0.88 was a really good price.

LOL. $0.88 was a mistake… not that I have personal feelings on the matter or anything. :wink: It would still be a bargain if you added another 44% but that’s just my opinion. He can’t just give this stuff away forver if we’re going to keep developing better stuff and try to keep QC in check. :beer:

I had figured the $0.88 was just an introductory price.

If I recall (and I wasn’t paying attention) it was $0.88 each for a 5 pack and $2 shipping for a total of $6.40. Right now it’s $1.26 each with free shipping so buying 5 is only $6.30.

grabbed a few! tired of drilling out the tailcaps to thread in belt clips this is going to be much nicer for the convoy builds!

A note, these aren’t brittle — I was able to carefully reshape one to use on a 1xAA light (using jeweler’s pliers that have the gripping parts round, not square, so they make radius bends).
It snaps on and off just fine.
