Armytek: "hassle free" warranty? nah

Ummm, “foxy tit”? Really?

:person_facepalming:

Oooookay.

Why are you trolling? What is your problem?

Do YOU own an Armytek light?

All your posts here until now are rather useless and just making this thread more difficult to read.

Does it matter?

You want to know about ArmyTek? A quick visit to their website might help.

Yes your question is clear, but is rather useless. You are intentionally trolling.

Have you ever heard of Apple? They are US company (their products are designed in the US). Yet their iPhones are made in China.

Where something is made makes no difference. Only how good it actually is.

The company was established in canada, operates from canada, and ships the products from canada.
Idk if they are assembled here, but they obviously are manufactured in another country like pretty much everything these days.

I am in the process of returning a light now. They are definitely reasonable. Even offered me $15 in accessories to offset the shipping cost. It was a few weeks ago I think I was quoted between $30 and $40 closer to 40.
I did not ship. I will repack in a different box and send either ups or USPS . whichever is cheaper.

Does anyone know cheapest way to ship from USA to Canada?

I have already received a new wizard pro. My last one switch failed but they sent me an upgraded model maybe my old one was not fixable?
The predator I sent them to fix was upgraded as well. But the one they sent me must have slipped QC and I am sending it back for repair.

Somewhere on the Armytek website they clearly state they have a factory in China. China can and does make quality goods; the aforementioned iPhones are a prime example as are Lenovo PC’s. China also produces items of dubious quality, often because someone demanded a certain product be produced for a low price.

Left a good job in the city

Workin’ for the Man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleep
Worrying ’bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re trolling, trolling, trolling

……on the forum

Aren’t you supposed to be finishing a book case so you can post pictures of it here? Go on get out of here and back to work. :stuck_out_tongue:

Borderline abusive customer, service issue or not.

64% margin is very little.
Most of the stuff you buy from a store has been marked up several hundred or thousand percent since it was mass produced in china.

I think you have a very flawed understanding of how R&D, production, and resale all work together to create profit (which is what the goal of a company is).

Anyway, this topic isn’t about apple, maybe don’t derail the thread with your overflowing hate towards just another company.

Here is what i see going on, customer has broken light, reaches out to manufacturer, manufacturer says send it to us and we will send a replacement and an accessory to cover the cost of shipping, customer doesn’t like having to spend more money.
Many large retailers will cover the cost of return shipping, but smaller ones typically don’t. Armytek came up with a different solution then not paying for return shipping, an accessory as compensation. Better then nothing, and i suspect it cuts their cost since they pay wholesale for the accessory but most most other small companies say return shipping is on the customer.
Customer is not happy and wants the return shipping cost paid by the company as would often happen from a large retailer (which Armytek is not).

This Canada/China business has nothing to do with this issue, but for the record as i understand it Armytek is a Canadian company run out of someone’s house who contracts their items to be made in China and sells the item typically directly shipped to the customer from China. This may affect the quality but is not directly relevant unless a majority of their items have a production or design defect related to location of manufacture (keeping in mind no matter where a product is made it will have a defect rate above zero).

amazing thread

Simon55 for president! He seems to know the “real truth” about everything. Even more so than Donald.

Actually quite a few people seem to like their iPhones and don’t really care about the costs.
Even Koreans prefer them over their Korean Samsung phones:

Nobody really cares about production costs. As long as people think such a phone is good and are willing to pay its price, they will sell. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. Quit whining.

It’s not our fault that you blindly believe what a manufacturer advertises on their website. You could have informed yourself beforehand.

It’s normal that such a clip will cause some abrasion since the surface of Armytek lights is not smooth.

I highly doubt that you tested the exact same type of clip on multiple lights (some lights have a smoother surface, some clips are not as strong etc.).

Please tell us more about your “inspection” of the aluminium. I really want to hear about the findings of a guy with your expert inspection abilities.

Armytek lights have anodized threads. They can’t be “soft”.

An off-center emitter is indeed a con although many manufacturers have suffered from this problem.

So how does the green tint reduce the functionality of the flashlight? The “warm white ” and “white” designations are for the color temperature. This has nothing to do with the tint. Armytek does not advertise that they don’t have a green tint.

Oh really? Interesting. So you own a calibrated integrating sphere where you measured lower values than advertised (even though they state ANSI values)?

Funny, my lanyard ring is not rusted. But who needs it anyhow? I have never seen a policemen or a fireman with a lanyard. It would burn you know…

Why should Armytek want some “expert” like you to “service” their lights? What good would this do for anyone? They could never check if the light broke while you were “servicing” it. Warranty would be impossible.

Your comment is also funny, because I have modded multiple Armytek lights from different generations (all the way back to the first model in 2011). Yes, it’s difficult with some models, but the reason for this is the robustness of Armytek lights. They are more waterproof compared to the competition and nothing can become loose on the inside and on the outside (better shock and vibration tolerance).

Who cares if you are not willing to pay for an iPhone? Hundreds of millions of people are willing to.

A US made iPhone X would cost more like 1500-2000$.

Apple has 116,000 employees, many of them in the USA, and they are all getting paid.

Now you are insulting me.

I wrote that nobody cares if you specifically want to pay for an iPhone.

Why should only Apple employees in the US get paid from the profits? You think employees in other countries don’t deserve any money? That’s very weird, nationalistic thinking…

Don’t be an 4$$hole, Simon55.
