Not all items are available for 2 day shipping. What amazon does is not guarantee 2 day delivery, but 2 day shipping. So once it actually ships then it will be 2 days to get to you.
That might help a little. It helps me a lot. A bunch of my orders sometimes don’t make it to the $25 to qualify for free shipping. Plus I watch a lot of Prime Video.
I will never use xpl2 or xpg2/3 again. Lh351 and luxeon v serve a flood role way better. Sst20/40 over xpg anything too. 50.2 is just OK. 70.2 is in a league of its own depending on the host. Im sure I’ll like xhp35 but wont use it till a better boost comes out.
Amazon will easily credit you a month of Prime if they miss their guarantee (just do an online chat). However, what toddcshoe said still applies. The lights were posted for sale but not ready to ship yet and it said as much on the sale page.
Yeah, so Sofirn sent me a code anyway, and I couldn’t resist. It’ll be here Thursday, though I could have picked it up at an Amazon locker on Wednesday, if I’d wanted to, but not any of the ones closest to my house…
Do you mean they are protected and rated at 10A max?
Or do you mean 10A continous?
They will work fine. They won’t give max output like a high drain, but still work fine. You might get 500 less lumen compared to button top 30Q, but to your eye it will be hard to see a difference.
I assure you it did say that when I ordered on Friday. Clearly something is delaying your order but they were not immediately available to ship when the first orders came in so take that however you want. Just open up a chat like I said: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us/
I chatted w/AZ and they just repeated that my Q8 would arrive on Friday
No explanation, no reason for others ordering days later and having already received the light
Thanks for listening. I feel better now.
mine has arrived today. Quite fast compared to other Aliexpress orders. Everything seems to work correctly in the flashlight. very happy to have bought it.
The hot spot is very bright and noticeable. There is still floody spill but it’s substantially dimmer compared to the hot spot. The Q8 reflector is good about creating a nice hotspot with any LED really but these XP-L HI really focus everything right in a pretty dense/bright spot
My guess is logistics considerations (both timing and economics). They may not have had enough lights close enough to you (or me).
I ordered mine yesterday night. The earliest they could get it to me, at any price, is Wednesday, if I pick it up at a locker near one of their local delivery hubs, and Thursday if I want it home delivered.
This isn’t typical. I’ve had stuff with next day delivery come from their distribution center out side of Las Vegas leave the morning after I ordered it and get dropped at my doorstep that afternoon.
It’s irritating though, and your case is extreme enough that they should do something to make good.
