As I said, contact wildtrail next week and let them know that the package might be lost, they can start a claim with UPS then and get the ball rolling.
The claim with aliexpress is completely separate and different. That is a claim about the order, not the package.
Aliexpress is just the china ebay. You can talk to the individual seller and are encouraged to in cases like this.
There are only a handful of times out of the ~10,000+ purchases online over the years that I was not able to work something out directly with the seller without involving any kind of claims or governing bodies.
@ Cochise334ever, just to give you a little peace of mind- I am from CT, a couple,hundred miles from NJ, and my light has had no update whatsoever since june 7, I have no idea when mine is due. and on top of that my light shipped 5/31 which I felt like was a week after most everyone else. Aggravating - yes! A little, but not really
But, no reason to panick, I mean I'm not trying to say you are, but I feel like when you contacted the usps is where things got tense here. I feel like the UPS most definitely jumped the gun telling you the package was lost and blaming the usps.
all of that to say, I know it's aggravating when there is an eta ship date, but It doesn't surprise too much when these flashlight orders from China start going passed that eta date.
I think if you and I both wait another week or so, we will have good news and hear about our order coming in. I know I praised wildtrail and TA in this thread a lot , but I'm being honest. I am pretty certain your and my packages aren't lost, just delayed, I had this exact situation happen with a recent FireFlies release, took 6 weeks to ship to me, I was probably one of the last people to receive the new light.
Oh, and just for general information- wildtrail is the manufacturer just like astrolux or FireFlies. The model of the light is the wt90, and TA just helped design it with the design team and employees that work for wild trail.
I finally took your advice for the factory reset….Not sure if it fixed it, but looking good so far. The 10 click issue was once again difficult, but finally got it back into advanced UI. Hopefully, my issue with this light is gone, but only time will tell. Thank you for the suggestion, even if the issue returns.
Got my light. It’s amazing. Everything’s perfect, beam pattern is perfect. Battery carrier and charger works perfectly. Hydraulic-feel when you take or put in the battery cage into the tube. Good milling on the handle for grip. For $175$ + tax shipped this is absolutely amazing and blows everything else on the market out of the water. If this was made in the USA or made by a name brand would easily be $250 and probably not as good.
Thank you our Chinese overlords for actually able to factory-produce gadgets and knives worth shit and doesn’t cost an arm and an leg and thank you TA for designing the light.
Funny how some ppl’s still whining about paying $10 for shipping and expect it to be DHL express-lvl service. No it’s just to cover their usual shipping costs. $150 base price for the light is so dirty cheap they probably don’t make much margins at all. FYI I paid $24 for shipping + 13$ tax.
Wow 18650 batterystore is getting these things out…you posted this on 06/10/2021 at 23:17 EST, It is now 06/12/2021 at 19:41 EST. I ordered 10, and all ten are on my chargers as we post, and have been for an hour. About 43 hours from the time I saw this, at the most. Now that is what I call fast shipping. Thanks to @Mysteeq for the heads up.
Yep… TN42 Crash test dummy… it had several XHP35’s and an XHP35 HD E4 that I clean de-domed an a XHP70,2 and a XHP70.2 clean de-dome, a W1 and HX Boost and now a 90.2……
You know whats really crazy and as useless… a W1 in a BLF GT
Case in point about shipping- I have had No Updates I'm 5 days and I just got the first usps update, it's in Windsor CT (I've never seen this location posted for shipping before), which is about 40 minutes from my house! Hopefully see this thing Monday!
