And I would add one more thing to take into account when shopping at dino's:
Price fluctuation can be annoying, BUT it can be dangerous too. I left some items to my shopping cart on Saturday (because my $5 GC didn't work). So I contacted the CS and got a new GC, good!
But when I came back to retry check out, the price of one item was changed (up by $10). While being busy trying to get the GC working and all additional shipping options unchecked, I didn't notice the price difference (Ouch! Silly me!!) => lost $5 (compared to price on Sat, without GC).
Just imagine this happening with a price fluctuation of $100.. Buyer beware!
They get free loan from poor buyers. They take your money and in worst case scenario never deliver the item. Like they never delivered my Nitecore EX 11. They claim that Nitecore EZ AA and EX 11 are the same.
They sent me a 1 mode romisen rc-29 instead of the 3 mode I ordered. DD chat gave me a lot of trouble but thankfully they sorted it out and gave me a gift card. But by that time the price was already a lot higher so I just ordered another light the tank e09 which I like.
I agree the avoid tag should be removed replaced by caution.
I'm too for remove the hypocrite avoid changing with caution or something like that
they wrong often but the CS usually fix it and at worst paypal is ever on your side, they can't lose the partnership
I had fun and made good deals with them, that tnx to the forum feedback about DD group buy, that made me avoid the avoid label and jump in the DD's roulette xD
Ok, I removed the AVOID label because of the majority vote. I personally do not like them and have never bought from them, and I don't plan on changing my stance any time soon.
Good thing that both voted for the same option. If kreisler would have found out that dinoboy would have voted "Yes, still AVOID" it might have gotten ugly.
I just marked you post as spam, I don't mean to abuse the spam system but spamming about DD with multiple accounts, you and yourself each voting and quoting back and forth yeah it is really annoying.
It was hard to continue saying AVOID when half of the posts are about buying stuff there. Thanks, Mr. Admin, for reconsidering. I agree there are still some definite warnings about needed about them though.
I vote avoid unless you have a lot of time on your hands to deal with the โissuesโ that most if not all orders from them seem to have. You will need to deal with CS if you buy from DD and you will find out how to file a PP DISPUTE!
I will order from more reliable sellers like Manafont and Tiny Deal.
I have had both good and bad experiences with all of the over seas budget vendors. The very fact Dino Direct has stolen pictures from forum members, continues to post fake reviews, still has products mislabeled after being told numerous times. They also have two different protocols for orders if you just randomly order something you can easily get screwed and have no recourse but Paypal Dispute, if you participate in the group buys you get acceptable service like everyone should get. For those reasons they should keep the avoid rating. I certainly wouldn't recommend a family member or close friend order from them.

Hey, Summer, I hope youre doing good at DinoDirect, dont work too much, have some fun time too!
Well for me I can not say but I have gotten the best service from them, I don't annoy them or uptight sure the first time I ordered I am gonna be skeptical but it was my frist time ordering from a Chinese company and had a good experience, yes I've researched the reviews for dozens of Chinese companies and this one stood out I think it was 2009 that I first bought from them ofcourse I knew it will take awhile to arrive but I am patient not going nowhere and to test drive it I didn't jump at 100 just at once but I spent like 2.99 maybe and yah and then I continued from there than the second time didn't put big bucks either took awhile got it so I bought 3-4 times from them I think and I've introduced it to a friend who bought an android phone and works great according to him and he is thrilled I don't see any issues with them, I do search online but I am suspicious that the bad reviews could also come from competing companies who bash each other just to score a point and found that many bad reviews are not really reliable because you don't know if its the same person doing it over and over multiple times or just competitors. I understand some are real and can't speak for anyone's experience but I always been patient, calm and nice to them and they responded quite nicely their customer service is very friendly situated they have refunded me the full price for a mistake order. So for me I have no issues and I also got an android phone and its just being dispatched now so I will let you know but there facebook page has over 148 000 and I am surprised when I learned about them they had 6 000 so in about a year that many fans it's popularity is growing and I find the unhappy always give the reviews, the happy ones and satisfied rarely do so the percentage of happy customers must surpass the unhappy reviews I will never know if their customers or just employees bashing or how many or what happened. To speak with Chinese you also need to be simple concise and clear in short like what is you need and if your rude trust me they get aggregated pretty quickly and really you want a good service respect the one your buying from I frankly find many rude people but I know they been doing good and wish more people with positive expeirences share theirs because mostly negative showup. My two cents
,thanks our honor admin and thanks for all our members great support.I will try my best to support every memeber ,I love BLF,BLF is my life ,anything If I can do for you ,please let me know, I will try my best to help .
