Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks for the heads up.

I don’t know about the other points, but regarding “poor customer service and dishonesty” - were there any complaints besides the misunderstandings (read: fiascoes) with their special sales?

I, for one, received excellent service when there was a problem with something I ordered (an IP camera from the Christmas 50% sale that was shipped with the wrong power cable; they shipped a new one right away). Was this an exception?

I also didn’t receive any spam messages (or any messages from them at all) despite participating in the sales threads and being a relatively active user in the past two months. Was lucky, I guess.

For the X’mas Sale, my address filled occur error by their system and didn’t receive any payment link.
I contacted their CS, Cherry with no solution to my purchase problem.
Luckily I manage to contact Karen in BLF and she helped out my purchase very quickly. Thank you Karen.

Following purchase of their SRK limited sale and CNY Sale went smoothly.

My i6 is on the way to Singapore.

sb56637, please contact Wallbuys to highlight BLF Commercial Sellers rules.

Thank you for your effort allow us to own more light.

A problem with one of my orders (a missing item) was quickly corrected, too.

They were already contacted previously and promised to improve.

sb56637, understand your position as moderator.

Seem like Wallbuys(Karen) need to read and understand clearly the rule and take it seriously.
Anyway let’s hope they will improve.
At least my last shipment was very fast.

not surprised with this one

+1, I recieved one PM from them spamming; but I left it unreported since I had previously expressed interest in it. Either way, good riddance!

Hi Scaru, did you express interest via PM or in the public forum?

The shop is sometimes a little bit complicated (with reservationlist, get an email, write the number of the email in a field etc.). Some people do not get the email and no paypal link.

I made two orders on christmas sale and got it and some on the new year sale. Most were perfect only the Uniqufire C108S weren’t great (some dents and every has optical production faults). Wallbuys wants to inform the supplier and I wait for the answer (until 3-4 days - this is ok).
Result: 8 good orders and 2 orders (with the C108S) waiting for a result.
I ordered two i6 for $19 and this looks like a great deal (have the tracking numbers and now the waiting begins).

Me neither.

In the forum itself, specifically in a non-wallbuys thread (HIDCanada's) about the VP1.

I guess I was one of the lucky ones by not experiencing the issues some others have. I’ve had good experiences with my dealings so far. I gave them some heat early about lying with fake/copied reviews. They have since removed the reviews. They also dealt with my one issue (missing strap for UF T90) very quickly by shipping it hours before going away for CNY.
I hope I didn’t come off as a shill by reviewing a couple of their products. After I did a review they wanted to send me lights for review, but that hasn’t happened so far, and I’ll be rejecting any future offers they make. I do see a lot of vendor provided items for review, so my guess was this is an OK practice if done objectively.
Anyone who believes or suspects I am was a shill for Wallbuys, please PM me so we can discuss it.
I received the PM spam as well. I didn’t report it as I didn’t clue in to what it was right away. I used PMs with Wallbuys to deal with the missing strap issue, as their website was missing an easy way to report problems with orders.
sb, since you had reached out to them to improve their practices with no apparent improvement, I agree with your decision.
Decisions like this are often not easy to make. It’s nice having an admin that stands up to protect members!

i still dont know what wallbuys wtf means!!

my little experience with them, i had ordered 2 Fenix diffusers and the order was fulfilled and delivered fast. packaging was commendable and everything all right so i am a satisfied customer.

No they won’t. :slight_smile:

Not at all! Rather, when they first came to BLF, they created several accounts and made posts pretending to be satisfied customers. They admitted as much in a “beg for forgiveness” type of thread. But it was all crocodile tears.

Glad to see this, I’ve had it with their unsavory ways.
Thanks sb!

I never did receive my very first order, a HD2011, on the Christmas Sale, but every other order was great. I got a T90, along with relic 38, 3 Small Suns, a Longire, and a couple other lights with no problem. The prices were rock bottom, and I was happy, except for never getting the HD2011, on which there was no tracking. I don’t think they were evil, just a tad naive and sneaky, more like children…just sayin…
