Summer, clean up the first post please as it's getting really annoying to load that page.
Also, when are you going to have the $5 off $30?
I doubt they will have something as generous ;)
Affiliate has gone down from 10% to 5%
Coupon codes have shrunk.
There are no group buys.
Gift card rewards are down to 3$ per positive reviews, if they even honour them.
Sounds more like diNO :D!
Still Im neutral abouth them, waiting for my two orders to arrive from them.
Two previous orders went ok :)
Wow, my last order arrived super fast! Ordered tue may 1, shipped the same day and i received it last thur the 10th.
The ultrafire c8 i ordered for $13.00 came in great shape. It pulls some serious amps and is much brighter than my other similar sized light, the KE5. It actually looks as bright as my X9 but doesnt throw as far. The only thing that sucks is theres no memory AND it doesnt reset. So i always get the next mode.
I also have a 3 light order that didnt ship til 2 days later. Hopefully that will come on mon or tue! Finally got a 504b xm-l and an E09...cant wait to compare the E09 to my ITP a3.
Call me crazy but thinking about placing an order with DD again. My last order arrived very fast. Manafont seems to have slowed down and DD seems to have speeded up. Going with the hot hand. Looking to buy, 18650 light, 14500 bstteries and 10440 batteries.
Im i DInor KIng (highest Level, "King", with 10% discount, after tons of spent orders to get to that level).
Im paying 6,99 per month for that.
And so, now I'm trying May coupons, and non of the may coupons work...
Why am I paying for idinor membership than, if I can use coupons to get same discount, and I cant use coupons with idinor King discount???
Hi friend,sorry for my late reply,I have confirmed ,DD10offru,this coupon is valid until June 1st.Anything I can do for you ,please let me know.
Theres a name for that:
ripoff
:D
Hi ,thanks all your support and trust,I have helped you confirm from our Idinor manager,he told me Idinor king is our VIP member,every item you can earn %10 ,and if you choose item in our discount activity , this coupon may cannot use combine your vip ,but if you choose the items donot include in our activity,you can use these coupon smoothly and also can combine your idinor king.Anything I can do for you ,please let me know.
Hi friend,thanks for your advise,I have modified the post ,if the coupon cannot use I have written expired.
And about coupon $5 off $30,I say sorry about this,we cannot make this coupon now ,the lowest one is about :
DD40save4ru over $40save $4
If other thing I can do for you,please let me know.
@summer, DD40save4ru is doing nothing for me, and
for DD10offru Im getting notification that coupon is invalid.
So, these coupons now dont work on discounted items, no matter we are Idinor King or not?
Glad I made orders when they had some working codes :)
Also, i received this email
"SAVE $5 when your purchase over $50 or more (This Date Only)
Coupon Code: mxp2aDDSCU896"
I tried to use this coupon, that same day, but nothing...
Hi dear friend,sorry for my late reply ,when you found a coupon ,you can use it make a order ,it can use ,you use it ,and if cannot use ,you also can find me,I will help you confirm or help you make special coupon or give you a discount.
sincerely,
have a great day
summer
Who else thinks Summer" isn't the same as before!?
Me.
Exactly my thoughts ..I wrote summer recently and got backa favorable happiness which sprouted eternal sunshine and paisley martin hunting ,camping joy.
it's great to know someone really cares
Summers been drinking the water from the yangtzee .. which gives new meaning to .."Get the lead out " and lost about 70 points off her verbal skill
I have a feeling it's not the same Summer we used to have. 
But she does love us all apparently, so that's a start.
Marc.
UNfortunately their system is too much messed up.
On the other hand, greatest customer service and organisation I ever experienced from some big chinese website is lightake.com . Its really outstanding. No misuderstandings, all goes really smooth.
As for dinodirect.com, I've lost lots of nerves with that website and I order there only occasionally.
FOr example recently I tried to get SkyRay STL-V2 with some discount because its a freat flashlight.
Ive ordered 2 and I got 2 Uniquefire different flashlights. They even changed the link, and wrote "Sky (tm)" in the title, and SkyRay is on the photos, I ordered, and I again received Uniquefire V2 (zits head has different diammeter".
Customer service is totally no help, youmust spend hours with them and than hope that maybe youll tal with someone who can really help you.
SO now I asked summer, she/he cannot help either, shes obviously only intermediary, she can only convey me what they product center says. She first said that they have SkyRay, and than that she's not sure, that product center told her that :o
SO Ill be better order Fandyfire version (identical to STL-V2) from dx, than to receive one more Uniquefire.
Dx is also little messed up, but this dinodirect is a total mess up. Maybe if you only order very expensive, brand flashlight (like Jetbeam, Olight, some more expensive Fenix, Sunwayman etc) you can be sure what youll get. If you order some really budget flashlight, you can never know what you'll get, and their system of customer service is so messed up that you cant ask them to.
I stopped talking with them long time ago - there's no use. Im solving issues with DD only through paypal. And I wont contact summer also, anymore, to help me, sorry, because Im only losing my time. She cant go into warehouse or had someone else go to warehouse to check something :o
DD has worst customer service system I ever experienced, and Im purchasing goods from 15-20 chinese websites...
Customer service of chinese ebay sellers (even if they dont know english well) is in 99% of cases like a spaceship to DD customer service - their moto is stall, stall, stall, redirect/forward, than again stall stall stall... etc and they also cant do almost nothing, like they are not working in that company. Like you asked a favour from someone on the street can they check something at dinodirect.
Hi dear,
