$5 Thrunite Ti

Why random colours? When I ordered it showed black. Has something changed?

Basically, I think they were swamped, and can’t handle the demand. They are a small company, I imagine, so it will be all hands to the pumps after June 15th sending stuff out, and they don’t have the staff to sort things out. At $5 on a promotional deal, I can’t blame them.

I was also expecting a black firefly (order number 124), and would really like a firefly version. But, if it’s purple & 3lm low, so what? I give it away.

Don’t look a gift light in the reflector.

Lol. I agree, a great deal whatever we get at either $5.

I don’t really care about the colour (but please no pink - I already gave my wife my supposedly purple Fenix E01). I was just wondering what was driving the concern. I haven’t seen anything from Thrunite that said that they might ship random colours. Did someone get an e-mail? Was there an update to their website? Or is it just speculation…

And right now “3900 Units in Stock”, almost 1 week later :expressionless: They have sold almost 1000 units in first 24 hours and only 150 in 1 week. I’m almost sure that those 1000 TIs were sold to unique, lest say, 300-400 users? That web isn’t so popular like DX, for example. Spread worldwide that offer will cost much more time that if it was DX. Just my .02.

I think it says so on their Facebook page.

Ahso. I don’t do Facebook.

See post#120.

Thanks. I hadn’t noticed the “From FB” notation…

It’s ok. I will probably buy two of this anyway. I just wish the color isn’t random and it’s really firefly. For $5 yes who cares. But for $11 ….

Do we have a contact name at ThruNite? I emailed them 3 days ago, and still waiting for a reply… great support…

yeah don’t expect any support from them…

It’s 5$ …. is there any reason to cancel?? or fret ? or worry ? come on ….forget about it …
in a month it will be in your mailbox and you’ll be happy

Give them a break
What do you want ….a tracking number ?

They mentioned the 15th June after they saw they couldn’t handle the volume. I suppose you didn’t read an earlier post of mine. I will be away for 2 months, and if something comes through the post, it stays at the post office one month, then being undelivered it gets returned back… So I am not being unreasonable trying to contact them to see if they have one t ship now, or cancel, or at least give someone elses address so that the offer doesn’t go wasted…

As for giving them a break… well after 3 days and no reply even to say: “we received your message, we will get back to you within 48 hours” or just a word, any word, sorry but for me they suck… I suppose they will bother to reply after a week? Never maybe? And no I never asked for a tracking number. :expressionless:

Wont your pst office hold your mail for you if you ask? They certainly will here.

Mmm… thought about that, I could tell them but since they don’t write it anywhere I am not so sure if they’ll remember about it.

I think this is probably one of the worst marketing mistakes ever for a torch company. Think about it!

If I was planing a deal like this I would have come on here and CPF and made the offer to enthusiasts, rather than going on slickdeals and facebook. What has happened is a load of people, most of which are possibly not even interested in torches or LEDS, have ended up picking up multiples of these lights, a lot of them will probably end up on ebay, or in a draw at home, unused. But more importantly they probably won’t encourage repeat purchasing.

If they had offered them to us, we more than likely would have bought more Thrunite lights thus giving them reviews and ‘airtime’ on here. Instead they have got a lot us us talking about them in the wrong way. They couldn’t even reply to the email sent from a member here, asking to extend the deal for us guys. Which makes me think about the after sales if you had a problem.

Not good really. :open_mouth:

I agree, very true.

My post office often hold my mails/packages for me. I write a short note for the post’s staff with my name + duration of absence. They stick my note on a wall in their depot. So they won’t forget.
