But they didn’t. Discount or no discount, they didn’t get what they ordered. I would have no use for the Cree version and I’d be pissed too.
Proposal:
I’m buying your (& everybody else’s) Lumintop Tool Ti that GB has sent XP-G2 version and not Nichia (or the opposite) for $13.99, price that stands for $23.99 payment minus $10 of GB’s compensation. You keep your $1 off a future order at your GB Wallet, so you’re a winner! :money_mouth_face:
Anyone ordered a Ferrari cake from Gearbest recently, and got an Acura cake instead?
100 + :sunglasses:
For $23.99 I’ll take you up on that Acura 
LOL
For 10$ compensatoon you can reflow a Nichia LED to it
Really?? after i’ve email twice attached photo twice and all i got was “we need to confirm with the product department” then sorry and $5 compensation (feel like falling on deaf ears). Even explained last 2-3mth ordered about 16 light and none neutral-white so yeah you can re-check the order if you like!! The reason i accept the compensation?
1) Avoid the headache email back/forth and then have contact Paypal; twice should be enough!
2) The more i think about the issue i realize the issue lies with Lumintop packaging and not really GB order-picker fault; also fact this my first case.
3) Can always give to family member see if they can get use out of it.
What really irritate me was Gb make me feel like it my fault order wrong product, which end of the day i’m paying for something i’m never get to use. Anyhow let bygones be bygones and i cant wait for Klarus Mi7-Ti -anyone else excited or just me??
Here’s the thing, I don’t want another Tool Cree, I already own the Tool Cu with the Cree emitter, I bought this because it was supposed to be a Nichia.
MSRP is irrelevant, you make as if GB was doing me a favor and giving me a flashlight out of the goodness of their heart. They sold item A and delivered item B. Would you still be taking this high horse if I paid $70? Why would MSRP or discount amount affect a sellers responsibility to provide what was advertised?
Edit: just to be clear, I don’t “want more money back”. I’ll be perfectly happy returning the item to GB in exchange for a Nichia OR for a refund. Understandably, the return would have to be on their expense, ultimately they’re responsible for their mistakes.
I’m afraid I don’t have those skills yet, especially something this small. I’d gladly accept the $10 Gearbest money and transfer to you if you’re offering your services.
Ha! But then I’ll be suckered into placing another purchase with Gearbest, it’s hard enough as it is to resist. Truth be told, they have some great promotions, it’s the customer service that sucks.
If PayPal doesn’t decide in my favor and I’m stuck with this, I plan on listing the light here at cost+sh. I’d love to see how many “it’s a great deal anyway” people take me up on it. That’ll be the ideal win-win
I would agree with you a year (or even some months) ago. Lately I see much better CS from GB in comparison with that period.
If you list it in here at cost+shipping, I don’t believe many members would be interested. They could buy it at the same cost and (maybe) lower shipping from GB when the deal was announced. I’m one of those who resisted that deal. I wouldn’t resist though at $13.99+shipping! 
+1
Receiving wrong product is sucks. But hey, we can’t find titanium light at $13.99 anywhere, unless probably get it from manufacturer directly. If it were me, I would still consider this as a good deal.
I’m waiting for several Tool Ti Nichia I ordered from them and if it turns out XP-G2 at $13 a piece… hell yeah! I want 10 more Tool Ti :smiling_imp:
Honestly, I would think refusing the $10 compensation and going for PayPal dispute case means someone wants a free Tool Ti. Not pointing fingers here…
well… mine came today, I ordered the Cree and of course it’s the Nichia. :person_facepalming:
The labels are reversed on my box, with the side saying XP-G2 R5 and the top says TOOL TI-NICHIA
I already had the Rey Tool Ti which I’m happy with, just wanted to compare the two.
well said. :+1:
Would you like to trade?
I’m not unhappy enough to pay for more shipping, butt iffn you want to use your $10 for that, then I’d swap with you, sure.
Where are you anyway, west coast here.
I offered GB a deal (For all those claiming I’m trying to get a free flashlight out of this, it doesn’t involve more money or refunds, I’d be paying them more money), let me see if they take me up on it, otherwise I’ll get back to you.
(The $10 was store credit, a lot less useful)
Gearbest…you do have some pretty good deals but I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with you. I’m afraid that I won’t get what I order or it’ll come damaged. I reserved 10 BLF 348s but when I found out they would be order through you…I just decided not to.
I have opened a ticket on GB.
Here are the pictures of the box and the actual led.
I do not know this led is cree or nichia, but tint is white (not feels 6500k)
