Don't buy Manker -- they don't support their products

Guys, guys, guys, you cant win this.

If you dispute, yes you will likely win and you will be black listed from ever purchasing another product from them .

Like someone else said further up, if one out of ten lights you buy has a problem, you are ahead of the game.

To the OP- the evidence on blf seems to support your claims. I don’t own one but will stay weary as I have been recently browsing their site for a 14500 light…

Anything that arrives damaged, malfunctioning, missing parts, or not as described gets a dispute. That’s not a warranty issue. Warranty is a fall back if it fails outside of a dispute period.
If they don’t respond its a full refund, some will offer partial depending on issue but you won’t get anything if you don’t dispute.
NEVER send anything back without a prepaid return label (why pay for something they have to pay for?)

FTFY, why is it a problem if they black list your paypal? if you really want to order from them again you could use a different payment method or order from another seller.
And its not certain they will do that anyways.

buyer ’ Hey guys you sold me a broken light bulb’
seller ‘oh yea!?? here’s your money back asshole, gtfo and never come back’
buyer ‘ummm ok?’

So even if you got burned from them , you would buy again. Just under a different name? So what happens when you run out of names or run out of credit cards?

For a $35 light you want customer service, technical support, a return policy, a money back guarantee, etc. Not happening. I think you are living in LALA land.

You’re the one who suggested to continue buying from them after getting screwed… now to the point where they screw you multiple times? I’d take my refund and stay away.

Not expecting your purchased product to be complete and function as advertised is the type of ’ LALA land’ customers bad business LOVE

Have to second this, and local stores offering a warranty just get screwed in your place…

Is Manker one of the brands that started life copying the designs or intellectual property of other brands?

Its a flashlight, how can you not copy the design at least to some degree.

No, the other way around actually. Manker’s designs were copied by Astrolux.

I’m referring to outright copies. In some cases I’ve seen manufacturers for various brands release those lights under their own name. Or other outright theft of intellectual property. I’m not saying that happened here, I’m inquiring. I don’t care if it’s inexpensive or typical behaviour in China. I don’t want to do business with those companies.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Does forget, in China they not only sell fake Apple products, they sell them in a fake Apple store. Copying LV and Prada handbags was done in the 90’s. They moved on to bigger and better now.

UTorch. Vaguely recall even their drivers said “MANKER” on them!

I even made repeated jokes when someone’d complain about Manker’s high prices, MAPs, refusal to offer coupons/discounts, etc., to not worry ’cause UTorch would come out with a cheaper copy in a few weeks. :smiling_imp:

I see no chinese companies offering 35/36v ECO SOL or Sunlike flashlight.

Don’t seem very innovative to me.
Ironically, American companies are even worse, riding on age old obsolete patents and strategies to appeal to our silly military like Surefire does. Both are bad. Although one will give you a guarantee, for what it’s worth.

Just a friendly reminder…
MANKER SUCKS!
They owe me a clip for my E02.
They owe me a proper 18650 battery for my U11 w/battery kit (no blinky modes work under 70% charge).
Even my E11 came with no lube on the threads. Sounded like sand when turning.

Of course I have contacted them. Zero response.

DON’T BUY MANKER! :rage:

I’m not sure if you tried contacting them here on the forum, but if not, this is Mankerlight user:

Thanks. I just sent them a reminder of this thread. And their CRAP customer service/products.

I have ever seen a clip make someone so angry. That’s a but excessive no?

no

Do you think the MK37 looks good?
