Re : Fasttech and Kaidoman

Hey guys any any input on these guys? Both of these guys are in South East Asia: Hong Kong and China. Please leave input. Thanks.

I have ordered from both on several occasions. Always ended up with what I order fine. Shipping can be slow

Same for me. No problems from either one.

Probably both ok as long as you don’t have a problem with the order.

They are both reliable. Kaidomain is a tad slower on average, but they have better packaging IMO.

KD handling time and order status indication is awfull. They can leave fake tracking number and after two month when you contact them they say “all fine just shipped here is right tracking”.
Fasttech have better stuff, you always can check order status, if there is any item that delays you shippment you can cancel or devide it on their website directly, this cool feature will save you lots of time and nerves.

Never had problems with them

KD is a poor shipper. I contact BanL after I place an order and everything works out. They have great stuff that you can’t find anywhere else.

FT had the best order /shipping/returns service IMHO of any seller because the return address was in the USA.

FT might have issues with you if you submit a PayPal claim and might not ship your next order.

So far my shipping from Fasttech was terribly slow…

I’ve been happy with both vendors.
About 4 years ago Fastech was the best vendor that anyone had ever seen .They put many U.S. vendors to shame. After a couple years of excellence they suddenly hic-upped and complaints started to mount . I think they are back to a normal chinese vendor status. I just completed an order with them that included having to deal with their customer service which went thru very smoothly .

I have 3 lights coming from Kaidomain to USA, what was your order to door time?

My lights were Trustfire A8, Kdiy KF8, and a Kdlitker E6.

A little Search would have answered your question. Both have been sellers for many years, and both have large dedicated threads on the forum.

Just checked my latest order from Fastech on Dec-5, 2017 and still not here. Waiting 3-4-5 months or more is very common for me in Canada if I order from them, but unless I need something right away I always use their free shipping.

Don’t think I ever got anything from KD, but did lots from FT, rarely if ever any problems.

As mentioned, any returns are to the US, so no big-bux costs shipping overseas only to have it disappear into the æther and not have your refund go through. You ship it via usps, get your receipt, snap a pic and send it to FT, and you get immediate credit for the shipping cost. Really really painless.

Everything is tracked, and if over whatever amount, always free (tracked) shipping.

The BLF discount works for almost everything flashlight-related, I think, so factor that into prices.

Thanks for input guys. Both of these sites have a light I want. Klarus XT20 2000 lumen version. I seen lower lumen Klarus XT20 1200 and 1550 respectively. Can any verify of Klarus XT20 2000 lumens exists?

Never ordered from KD, the only issue i had with FT was my own impatience. :person_facepalming:

anyone had problem registering with Kaidoman?

still waiting for my activation since yesterday morning. presume it isnt automated service and i have to wait till afer CNY?

I couldn’t either . Took my order and got no email order confirmation , only from PP .

They could add a banner on their site .

KD - I have a negative experience with it. Poor communication. Ordered p60 drop in - driver was faulty. Got in touch with them, they did promise to send another one, which never arrived.
FT - more orders here, few tickets solved quickly and reasonably. The only negative impression left after last year father’s day: I had a phone in my basket with a 10% discount on it. Unfortunately I was disturbed by guests and didn’t pay straight away. The next day price went to normal. I did ask for discount - reply was negative. Of course it is my fault, but …… (Got the same phone later from different vendor even cheaper.)
