Oh, this is a bit disappointing - I just got an email from Drop:
I guess I can live with the swapped emitter, since refunding it doesn’t sound like it’s going to give back that $20 new user discount.
I’ll just wait until another good deal on a Nichia light pops up, haha.
Well this is a terrible turn of events. I have just about zero interest in a cool white AAA light. Still waiting on shipping but I guess this will most likely end up on a for-trade list
This is disappointing. Let’s hope that they did not mess up all the orders and some of us get the correct tint. Oh well, maybe it will become an emitter swap project.
They just canceled my order and refunded. Said out of stock and offered a $10 coupon. Sounds like they are playing games to wipe out the original discount. Ordered 2 days ago.
Looks like I will only be paying shipping for my 2 orders of copper AAA. They said there’s a mixup of tint but I ordered both Nichia And Cree CPG. So for 12.71 less $10.00 credit, I only paid 2.71 per piece. And I receive both tints that I like.
Holy mixup batman!
I will have to wait and see when it arrives, but it is a complete shambles. Really, they should just take it on the head for their/their suppliers stupidity and send the right ones out - no credit and they pay for the returns should they want them back.
I just got the email too, though the light hasn’t arrived yet. It’s nice of them to offer the $10 coupon, but what about the $20 coupon that was used? If the light is returned, is that reinstated?
No, a $10 refund plus keep it would be more appropriate. Store credit is worthless to me, I only joined to get this, I highly doubt I’d ever use them again after this either.
There is no defending sending out the wrong item, then expecting people to keep it or return for refund (but not be able to offer the correct item at the same price). It’s not even in stock to reorder even if they did grant us the original $20 voucher back, and the $10 one.
It’s not just a ‘little’ difference either lol Also- $2+ of that $10 is the shipping which WE paid for! so it’s actually only $7+ credit, and when we order something else, we’ll have to pay shipping again, so another say$3 taking it down to a mere $5 actual credit.
Just received an email saying the item was back ordered and cancelled.
I guess they didn’t expect a spike of orders from a single item and realized $10 for a lumintop AAA wasn’t a good sell for them.
Unfortunately, the $20 coupon is lost. But you can create a new account and there is another coupon valid until Dec 3rd. Only brass and CW emitter available
