Low Price for a Lumintop Tool 2.0 Ti?

That’s a bummer. I was hoping ya’ll would get it for that price. I didn’t try to order one, not a fan of the mode memory but, that’s just a personal preference. It’s a good light other than that.

After seeing the OP I sent a link to a buddy who wanted one but wasn’t willing to pay the normal $40+ for it. He got the message just a few hours after ordering. He passed on the $4 off offer. He did find a knife he liked though so I guess all was not lost.

I always forget to check Fasttech when I’m shopping for something. Haven’t ordered anything from them in quite some time. Never had any problems with them. Though I do tend to drop them an email to ensure a product is actually in stock before I order. They have always gotten back to me in a day, two days tops.

I am not a Lawyer , nor do I play one on the internet or TV.
That said;
Don’t know about the rest of the world but here in USA the consumer laws allow sellers to have waivers such as “Not responsible for unintentional pricing errors” Etc.
Check your Sunday sales circulars and you will see the fine print.
These waivers were pushed into law with help of companies like Circuit City (alive and well at the time) Sears, etc. and internet retailers.

We all knew it was a really crazy price, so to me, no harm no foul. Worth a shot, right?
Have gotten on the good end of enough deals in the last 20 years that I probably used up the luck.
Then again probably not.

I got my first Ti Tool 2.0 pretty cheap but cannot recall exact price.

Just responded to their email with this;

Cancel it and refund the order as fast as I paid you.
Hire a pricing proofreader.

I had a few times situation, that price on shop shelf was lower than actual item price.
Every time I paid price as on the shelf.

Yeah, I don’t think we can demand that they ship at that price. As the saying goes, “if it seem too good to be true, it usually is.” It can easily be an error, and it looks like they’re being easy about cancelling the orders. Hopefully we’ll see the refunds come back quickly through Paypal. Sorry to all those who ordered!

I got the email asking me to pay the $40
I replied cancel

not your fault

the lights have PWM anyway

sour grapes
lol

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Longuylander (i just got your name! :person_facepalming: ), maybe if we hadn’t all ordered yours would have sneaked through at the bargain price…

I thought about that! If I had just kept my stupid mouth shut, maybe they would have shipped my one and then changed the price. But that’s all right, I already have one in aluminum, and I can put that eleven bucks toward a light that I won’t have to swap out the emitter right away.

I thought you might jump in and start defending another Chinese company again lol.
I think it was dirty tricks ,imo they were slow selling so they dropped the price to get loads of people to order it ,then tell them the bad news ,thinking some people got their hopes up about it & decide to pay full price.
YMMV.

Yesterday I received order confirmation, at the sale price, from Fasstech.

After that I got Fasstech’s email requesting I pay $30 more, I replied:

“please cancel”

no reply (yet), so I looked at paypal transaction history

since I did not see a refund from Fasstech
I disputed the transaction to paypal
informing them the seller requested I pay an extra $30, which I declined

I then received an email from Fasstech stating
“Order paused due to payment dispute”

now it is in Paypal’s hands to make sure Fasstech remembers to refund my purchase
and Paypal now has a report of Fasstech’s activity

I dont care that Fasttech refused to honor the sale,
just want to make sure they dont forget my refund

Did anyone receive a reply after their email?
I just replied that i am not willing to pay extra and just want the light.
If they dont agree i still can take the refund.

But so far no reply

I’ve had no reply yet, and I said I wanted to cancel my order. I will give them a little more time before involving Paypal on this one. I only replied to the email this morning, so they probably haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet.

I did reply, but asked if they would make sure that I wouldn’t lose anything if, in the refund, paypal would nick me for a whole bunch of fees.

After all, okay, I’ll take a refund if I absolutely have to, but if it’s their mistake, I don’t want to be out a few bux as a result.

Kinda like mailing someone a refund-check with postage due…

They asked again if I wanted store credit or paypal refund…

Got refunded in full already, props to FastTech!

I’m pleased with the fast and correct way that Fasttech (Crystal) handled this (even correcter would have been taking the loss and sending out the flashlights but I understand that with a loss of 30 dollar per flashlight that is a decision that they did not make). So since I was eying the ToolAA Ti already and Fasttech has a sharp price, I went for their small discount and bought a light anyway.

Agree, it still is a nice light for 37$
I assume the XPL2 will not have a long life in yours :wink: And the lighted tailcap will drain a 14500 in about 1,5-2 months, so that needs attention

I’m very happy with my High CRI SST20 in it (Lost a lot of lumens though)

You are correct in your predictions :slight_smile: Also, I probably will change the driver because contracting mode memory is worse than any virus (but at least there is a ready cure).

Cancelled the order.
Got already a “warning” from them that the exchange rates of buying and refund may differ.
What’s the title of that Clint Eastwood movie: “Every Which Way But Loose”. For them it is.

That’s poor, it was their fault nobody else’s, they should at minimum ensure you get back what you paid due to their error.
