Omigawd, these are already available? No PM, just gotta watch the thread, eh?
OK, I’ll scroll back and try to find the group buy info.
Suggestion, edit the original post that opens first so people see this news.

Plain and simple, the $6.50 price is not honored if you use PayPal. $6.50+82 cents extra. = $7.82 US payment

Okay, WHAT? [Available again! - BLF special edition light] new Sofirn AAA twisty high CRI 5mm LED - #1458 by arow55

No luck here. I tried what you said and still no pay-pal option. Tried other payment options and it just goes straight back to the credit card page. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to do without.

Ordered 10 lights. I wanted to wait for the Red and Blue, but then didn’t want to risk it.

The process was a tad awkward, but after reading some of the messages, I was able to make it work.

To those for whom it seems like too much BS, consider buying the light at the normal price. Still seems like quite a bargain. Or don’t.

You can pay with PayPal….total will be $7.82 I got one coz like you, I will not use CC in China.

I put the items in cart, there was a paypal option. I “paid” for it…went to paypal confirm page…DIDN’T CONFIRM/PAY.

Went back to aliexpress page, waited for price adjustment, then PAID again and got the two windows below.

i got the first window, hit the cancel button, then the window next to it popped up and then paypal’d it.

this is for another order, but it worked for the C01

So I went through all the order steps listed above, not actually paying the $7+ price per light, and putting my BLF userid in the message to seller.

And now what, I wait for some message reply with the BLF price, that lets me pay that?

Paypal worked for me but does not honor the 6.50 price which is disappointing. I’d rather pay the higher price than use cc though.

the ones on aliexpress are not potted right?.
same as ones on Djozz list now?
confused.
anyway, ordered x 2 on Ali.
thanks.

Hoping Sofirn can fix the Paypal price

Thank you!
I ordered one of each, paid by paypal, no problem

I paid $7.82 for one and 7.02 for the other… woe is me… I paid $1.84 too much! LOL (I dont care)

I saved $7.06 compared to buying 2 Fenix E01 with Angry Blue Low CRI… :wink:

Low CRI sucks! Fenix E01 is a “has been”

thank you all for helping me spend my money on things I dont want and dont need… but, some lucky friend of mine will enjoy them… :slight_smile:

Paypal price on AliExprees is always higher. Has nothing to do with this light

Just attempted the discount “cheat code” and couldn’t get it to work, so I ended up paying full price. They should either reimburse the difference or something else because this method isn’t cutting it for a lot of us.

Also Ali charges 80 cents for Paypal use.

That is annoying, at least we know Sofirn is doing the best they can.

This is my first Sofirm group buy.

Just followed the process as described. No discount. Paypal charged full price for two. Oh well.

Paying an extra buck is not a big deal, but if the BLF Lantern project ever actually happens for example, it would be nice to get the discount next time.

I appreciate the good work people have put in, but if the company doesn’t cooperate and we have to pay full price, I might not be able to participate in the end.

I however cannot seem to get Paypal to show up once they adjusted price?

thanks for explaining that paypal costs extra, yes, that is how I paid

OMG I paid too much! LOL LOL LOL
(still less than an Angry Blue Fenix Low CRI with no pocket clip)

Ok, I will stop complaining, just give me the light now!:wink:

kudos to Sofirn, you guys did what Fenix could not do!

kudos to djozz, you had the patience to see it through!

applause for slowtechsteff, I though you were dreaming when you first came up with this idea

I leave the seller a message, select the PayPal option, then Confirm and Pay and am directed to PayPal page. I don’t complete the purchase on the PayPal page, but when I go back to Ali, my shopping cart is empty. No way to “wait” for price change, there is no item there to wait for.

Edit. They are not in my shopping cart anymore, but when I click on Orders, I see the order status as Awaiting Payment. So I guess now I wait.
Edit 2: After a while I refreshed the “Orders” page and price changed from 7.02 to 6.50. Clicked on “Pay Now”. PayPal was not an option, but when I clicked Cancel, a PayPal option was on the next popup. Ali charges $0.80 to use PayPal. So it was $6.50 + $0.80. Everything worked perfect. I had never done it this way before, so I was confused, but it all worked out. :slight_smile:
