Anyone Bought From hkequipmentex on E-bay????

Wondering if anyone’s bought from this company …. hkequipmentex … they seem to offer some things like Manker torches for quite a bit less than buying from Manker direct which made me a little wary if they were copies / fakes although their feedback score is good??

If anyone’s had any dealings with them and can provide any input would be appreciated!!!

I bought from hqequipment (not sure about …ex at the end) and they are a big shop in Asia for all kinds of equipment, including flashlights. shipment came quickly. Mind you that this was earlier in 2016. they are also on BLF.

They are using the HKequipment logo, and HKequipment is certainly well known to many in this group. They have a feedback in excess of 7000, so they are real. The only question I would have is exactly who they are. I have seen others use the HK equipment logo when they in fact had nothing to do with HK equipment. Having said that, they have a 99.4% positive feedback rating, which says they haven’t managed to piss many people off, so odds are they are reputable. Remember to always pay using a credit card however. PayPal is designed to minimize the opportunities buyers have for recourse outside their own dispute management system. Credit cards provide recourse outside the PayPal and eBay dispute mechanisms and provide greater protection for buyers.

I would PM user hqequipment , introduce yourself and kindly ask whether it would be possible to verify that shop.

Their store is empty (?)

…and yet it isn’t…

Very strange…

ebay shops change content depending on your IP, your login credentials, the ebay site you are using (.ca, .us, .nl, …) and for many other reasons! Try the store from ebay.ca. It should work better.

edit: I can see 1,656 results from their shop.

edit2: Different ebay markets have different T&Cs. even though you can use your credentials across other ebay markets the seller might not want to ship to your country. this is very common with Asian sellers not wanting to sell to European markets even though you could technically buy the product from ebay.CA or .COM. the same shop can have significantly more items in Canada and the US compared to their German or UK presence.

I’m using the ebay.com site.

Here:

Now click ‘see all items’ or ‘items for sale’ or ‘visit store’.

I have a big feeling hkequipment and hkequipmentex is the same company. I’ve bought from both, the last purchase from hkequipmentex is armytek predator (and it was cheaper than at armytek website). Still on the way.
Looks honest seller, the torch wasn’t available - they didn’t send it and didn’t lie. The available quantity in their listing adjusted accordingly, to zero.

But, if you will have a post shipping issue, be prepared your message will be ignored.

This works better:

Strange though…

Must admit with the high number’s and % on feedback I thought it looked fairly “safe” … my main concern was just how they could sell so much cheaper then the manufacturer who I have bought directly from before.

I’ll give it a go and see what happens!!!

This link looks the same as the HKEquipment I buy from.
They are a very good company that I trust.

I would send Stanley of HKe an email taken from his website, or a pm here in BLF and paste that link to him to ask if he owns that store too.

I ordered 2 wk42’s from them at $8 each. they sent me one. the price went up. I complained they sent me the other for the same price

I bought many flashlights and headlamps from HKequipment. I believe the owner/marketing name is Stanley. and he’s A BLF member too. HKE priced their stuff reasonably cheap in Ebay, could be less if you go straight to Stanley or to the website.
I complained him about my defective Nitecore HC50 purchase in 2014. Got no reply from HKE store in Ebay no matter how many emails I sent him. Later I found him in BLF and he responded. He said his ebay store were spammed that’s why my email went straight to the “spam” folder. Got the replacement relatively fast.
The store should be back to normal now.

I totally forget whats his name. It’s been years. You can contact mr. Admin. I’m sure he knows because back in 2011, Hkequipment was on his recommendation list.

HKE? This early year I’ve order and it came. Pay using paypal… Ibought it bcos its offer speacial discount. Customer service also responsive… actually he also had a Youtube channel.

I have had 5 light from him, ebay and his site,only problem i ever had was an extra payment for taxes as he did not mark down price.

No Heckler and Koch parts at all. :cry:
