Sofirn Q8 group buy (gb closed, but try PM to Sofirn for discount)

[quote=JasonWW]

I’m not entirely sure either, will ask Barry :slight_smile:

@Drontti, as I have not gone through the pay process myself, perhaps someone who succesfully did this can answer your question?

Also never got a code

Again, ask Sofirn via PM.

I do not know why not everyone got a code who should have gotten a code. I hope it is a simple mistake and it is not related to availability, which would not be fair.

You can ask Sofirn (seems like Tracey is using the account), but I will mail Barry too.

Not too big a deal if I didn’t get one as this would have just been an impulse buy for me - was more so providing the info as reference for others. I’ll leave whatever coupon code I was supposed to get for some other lucky individual.

There is plenty of stock on the Aliexpress store. Feel free to order there if you want.

If I wanted to go that route I would have already done so. The appeal of this GB was the price and availability via Amazon US.

The price is the same between Aliexpress and Amazon US.

Just order on Amazon. I don’t understand your not wanting to. The only real advantage I can think of for ordering on Amazon was faster shipping (I was wrong on this point) and ease of return if it somehow were to be defective. Maybe better tracking info. That’s about it as far as I can tell.

Them are some pretty good advantages. I go out of my way to use Amazon if I can, even paying a few bucks more sometimes. Faster shipping. Who doesn’t like that. Easy returns. Every try returning something to China on your dime? It’s like trying to sneeze and fart at the same time. You can do it but it’s going to be a mess. Better tracking. Chinese tracking is hit or miss at best. God love their good prices and large selection but, I only use the Big Three Chinese when I have to. :slight_smile:

I received the PM and the code but I’ll elect not to purchase the Sofirn Q8. Just decided its not a light I need. Thanks for all the work.

No code here either. Surprised? Not in the least…. good bye q8. Got 2 originals anyways.

Sofirn closes down about 9am or 10am Central USA time zone. They will be opening back up in the next couple hours, around 9pm to 10pm. You can’t expect any replies during non work hours.

I say this because it seems people expect them to answer 24 hours a day. They can’t.

Amazon US code received. ordered. Thanks.

Just now sent? I guess Sofirn employees are back at work now.

Yes… just now… i placed my order as soon as i received the code.

Received a code last night from Sofirn. I will not be using it, as I just got a Q8 off the buy/sale forum here on BLF. Thank you anyways Sofirn. Feel free to pass my code along to someone else.

The driver is 15$ and 4 xpl emitters have to be worth 3-4$ each ...

Ask yourself if the bezel ,reflector,heatsink ,lighted switch,springs,glass,body and shipping are worth 10$ to you ?

got my code last night and ordered today

Umm…. if that’s what you think they pay for those components…. You need to re-evaluate your numbers.
There is NO WAY they pay NEAR those amounts for said components in an industrial/commercial quantity.

Why would you assume he’s talking about the manufacturers cost?
He’s refering to the retail costs, the price you and I would pay since that is what is relevant to us.
