Dino Direct issues

Has anybody ever had any issues with DinoDirect? Not getting there orders? Its been 5 week and did not get my LED flashlight order and now I’m getting the run around.

Well, the shipping is quite fast, once they ship your item, of course :bigsmile:
We have a dedicated thread here . Send p.m. to Summer, she is our official DD contact (or just post in that thread I mentioned).

Welcome to BLF, btw :wink:

Oh boy, I guess you didn’t read the reviews, eh?

Welcome to BLF. Unlike DD, we are here to help. You have to have low expectations and have a gambler’s mindset to shop there. Two words, Paypal dispute. Assuming, of course you still have time on the clock.

Personally, I try to stick to Shiningbeam, Solarforce, HKE, and Meritline.

My only other advice is to keep at them and you might get lucky.

Dino direct isn't normally slow ...But i was talking to _the _ who has been waiting for a little over a month for a light from dino direct ..i'd contact Summer or do a paypal dispute if it's getting close to 45 days

You will be a lot healthier and less stressed with your flashlight and accessories that go with them if you avoid Dino-Direct altogether. Take it from me. I sure am. I no longer have to listen to their bogus lies and whether or not they are going to send me what I ordered without screwing up. I found out when 5 out of the 6 orders I placed with them got screwed up or not what I ordered or were delayed in shipping that equilvaltes to 83.3% of the time they were going to mess up my order or take a long time to get. That’s not the kind of people I want to do business with. Sure they made good later on and corrected or compensated me for my troubles after a fight on their chat-line in which everybody seems to be named Sharon. LOL! But that is besides the point of why I order from anyone in the first place. They could offer me a $100 flashlight for free. And I honestly would pass. I don’t want their deals or any future dealing with Dino-Direct. It’s that simple. I gave them every opportunity to improve and they let me down big time.

You should get it before 45 days. If not file with PP

(They could offer me a $100 flashlight for free. And I honestly would pass.)

... yeah ...sure

keep that free fenix tk 41....Dino !!

pretty sure i'd take it

I won’t reward them for offering to give me a freebie so they think all is forgiven. It’s not.

I stand by what I said.

They would probably send you a clone anway called Penix BJ 41!

That’s the Dino-Direct that I know.

does this mean I’m gonna receive a Mr. Potato Head instead?

I have 11 not received packages from DinoDirect.

Most of them should have arrived since 3 or 4 weeks ago.

From the 15 pending, only have arrived abut 4, and 3 of them had been open by the Chinese customs, returned to dinodirect, and sent again to me (the packages were open, and had china customs stickers)

Also I have 1 pending package from ebay…

The problem is not only DinoDirect… is China

I don’t usually have problems with ebay sellers from China. But I usually have problems with DD when I ordered from them. So I will respectfully have to disagree.

I’ve received email confirmation from DD that my order was shipped out on 15/07/2012. Suffice to say till today the package was nowhere to be seen. Following advice from fellow BLFer, I PMed Summer who advised me to contact DD customer service which I did. To cut the story short the CS asked me to check with my local post office and if not successful to contact DD again on 15/09/2012.

Thanks DD for the lesson learned!

Right. So far I have received all packages from DD in 10 days to about four weeks.

Now I have two shipments "missing" (read: delayed). Those were ordered 7/26 and 7/27 and shipped 7/27 and 7/31 (= about 5 weeks ago).

On the other hand, I already received one packet which was ordered 8/21 and shipped 8/24 (received 8/30!!)

That would explain. Hmm..

I will contact their support at 40 days (and Paypal at 44 days, if the issue is not solved)

as i am typing a comment for you, im dealing with a problem with them right now. I ordered a 5 pc set of pen/guestbook ,etc for my wedding and i received only 3 out of 5. Paid 83.00 for it.

well, they just solved the problem, they are gonna send the remaining 2. This is my first order from DD and already i have a problem. I don’t think i want to shop here again unless i desperately need something….

at the end, person on livechat gave me a 10% off discount coupon…wow…, i rather have them add a little something in my order instead…

btw, i had to wait around 5 weeks to receive my order…looks like im gonna have to wait a little more longer to receive the rest…

Welcome to the addiction, Jr750!

I have only one problem with DD they sent the wrong light but they are working on it. It's been months.

And YES, that was it! I got one of my "missing" packages today. It was treated exactly as fran82 said.

Maybe Chinese customs don't like the "DATE LINE" declaration.. ;)

Edit: No Boaz, it was the other one. :(

I am happy you received one of yours…

I still have 11 “not arrived” packages from dino and 1 or 2 from ebay :open_mouth:

This is worst than Christmas………
