Gearbest Daily Deal Updated: March 16th 2021/ Baseus LED Flashlight $21.99 with the code: GBREAKER

[deleted-200707]

I received a green and a blue from Andrew & Amanda a week or so ago, no lockout problem on either.

@eggoo

Very good price on the Nitcore TIP. Anyone can tell me the winter edition TIP is based on v1 or v2? Thanks.

I got an v2 Winter edition from Banggood, = no blink in lockout mode

[evankouros]

@chinooker & @Ormbett:

It's good to know that V2 TIP X'mas are on sale. Thanks for the info, but we're asking GB for those at $16.59 that they've informed us.

[MAD_TM26]

Is it just me finding it unfair to mention BG in this GB deal thread?

[Streamer]

I'd even take a PINK Tip if it was guaranteed V2

@Mstevens113

So why can neither of the Nitecore’s be shipped to the UK??

because of the nitecore policy, they have a exclusive retailer on uk, really sorry about it

I posted a question at item's "Product FAQ" at GB.

Question:

Is it Version 1 with lockout drain bug, or V2 the Nitecore TIPs you’re shipping?

Reply:
Hello Evan,
It is the Model for TIP Christmas Gift Set and don't have the difference from V1 or V2.
Let me know if you need any help.

As the answer was anything but clear, I've asked again.

By Evan (few minutes ago)

Question:

Hi again.
Thanks for your answer, but it's not a clear one!
What do you mean by saying "don't have the difference from V1 or V2"?
My question regarding Nitecore TIPs (X'mas edition or not) you're shipping, is simple:
- If it is V.1, it has lockout drain bug.
- If it is upgaded V.2, it doesn't have the lockout drain bug (Nitecore fixed it).
If you don't know the difference between V.1 and V.2, do this very simple test to check it:
1) Put it in lockout mode. (*)
2) Press any of the 2 buttons.
3a) If it flashes red it is V.1 (has lockout drain bug - battery dies in a couple of days).
3b) If it doesn'r flash red, it is upgraded V.2 (no lockout drain bug).

Please answer clearly, cause I'd like to buy a couple if they're V.2!

- Evan

(*) Lockout/Unlock
Hold down both switches until the main led flashes once to enter lockout mode, the product will be rendered inoperative to prevent accidental activation. To unlock, hold down both switches again.

Waiting for the reply...

And here's their quick reply, that's obviously avoiding to answer clearly:

Hello Evan,

Please kindly send us e-mail to http://www.gearbest.com/about/contact-us.html. Then we will contact our product department and supplier to check this issue for you.

For God's sake! :FACEPALM: I'm asking a simple question at GB's product page... and they're telling me to contact with their Support again! Can't they do it and give a clear answer, that everybody would be able to see at product's FAQs?!?!

PS:

I've contacted GB's LiveChat.

They said they have to confirm it with their professional product department (I thought this one should answer the question I asked at the product's page...), so I'm waiting for their follow up e-mail.

Sorry Sir,
Game closed Nov. 13th

HaHA. LOL

Seriously
Do hope you get some cash.

[MILSPEC]

Why is nobody else participating? Because it takes a huge amount of effort and time? I hope I got it all right but checking all of the data must also be serious work for Gearbest….

I was going to build a new light but did this game instead, hope I won’t regret that.

LOL…you didn’t expect a truthful satisfying answer to your question did ya? That’s coz the question is too technical for the Chinese Challenged. They simply do not know or pretend not to.

Should have asked “Am I going to get screwed over on this deal and have to request a replacement or refund because you are avoiding my initial question”? Sorry, but that’s also too technical of a question .

One thing they do understand however, is how to take and make your funds scurry South into some deep China pockets. Then it’s up to you to pull your hair out over nonsensical back and forth e-mails. And, when all else fails, it will finally dawn upon you that all you have left is to threaten the dreaded PP word……….PayPal. Oh, the horror !

But to be fair, and we are fair are we not?, the positives do outweigh the negatives with the Big 2 Vendors, namely, Banggood & Gearbest. It’s just when things go wrong, your good times become bad times because of the nonsensical back and forths. Then, add to that, the ducking, dodging, and yes, even hiding of pertinent info relative to your case at hand …and blah blah blahhh blalhhhhhhhhhh blah blah…blahhh blahh blahh blahhh bla bla …add infinitum…. :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

I have already ordered “Nitecore TIP LED Keychain Light Christmas Gift Set” and if it is v1 then I have got a problem.
