Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I’m tempted but there aren’t any reviews for this light. Does Nextorch make decent flashlights? Anyone received this light and care to share your opinion? Does anyone know what kind of driver it comes with?

I just received mine. Very well made. Always starts on high. Lightly press on the switch to go lower. It gets warm immediately, good heat sinking.
In my opinion, a good deal.

Diddo … Excellent light for the money. Simple wall of NW tint. I really like the simple UI and tail switch.

Thank you guys! I really considered this but I'm about to install an xhp50, 5K in an S21A with a TIR, that I've had in a Convoy L2. The 'dark' hole is getting to me and the MTN FET driver is too much with two hi drain 26650s.

And to make the hole in your wallet bigger, this looks good: https://www.myvipon.com/product/8694324-HARDELL-Digital-Caliper-Micrometer-Calipers-Measuring-amazon-coupons?sl=dea061f648486e897590a6914df31e8d&f=deal

Is that a good price for the calipers?

For metal, digital readout calipers, it looks great. Plus, good reviews.

Thanks. I ordered one.

I received these today.

They expire in October 2022, as advertised.

I haven't tried them yet, but I have gotten these before in slightly larger bottles.

Kkewl. I should be getting mine tomorrow, B’harni willing.

This is new (to me).

Amazon emailed me and told me that my package with the fish oil was delivered.

But they also included a photo of our front porch with the package!

In the top left area, you can see our garage, and my room takes up half of the garage.

I get a “delivery photo” every time. Can’t recall exactly when it started, but it’s been the better part of a year or so. CYA move for Amazon.

Yeh, when it’s delivered by an Amavan, they do that. (Tracking number “TBA123456”, etc.)

Even keweler, it you know it’s “out for delivery”, and can catch it just before, you (if done in your area) can also see a map and doodad to mark where the Amavan is. If lots of deliveries in your area, also a blurb like “3 stops before you” or however it’s worded.

I first get a message when the driver is “10 stops away.” The map shows the van as a blue dot and updates as it gets closer.

It used to say, “You’re next,” but at some point they reworded it to a less ominous, “You’re the next stop.” :smiley:

During the holiday season the dot changes to Santa’s sleigh. :partying_face:

I’ve gotten pictures of delivered packages for several years.

Yeh, kinda like VLC’s candy-corn wearing a Sanny-Claus hat during the Christmas season. Cute.

New Amazon delivery message:

Reminds me of a horror movie that I saw, You're Next (2011).

I got that one, but haven’t watched it yet. :person_facepalming:

A few weeks ago I was watching the blip, went to my door after the package was delivered and found an empty bubble mailer, you can even see the bubble mailer looks flat in the photo the delivery guy took.

Was supposed to be a civivi knife but I got an empty package, I cant understand how a driver leaves an obviously empty bubble mailer and just goes back to his route. I reported it an got a credit but this was after the civivi sale was over so I cant get a replacemnet at that price unless I pay the higher price then contact them after new one arrives(if it does)to try and explain this mess for a credit.

To me they should have just sent a new one it was stolen amongst their chain of employees not by a porch pirate.

I ordered a Q8 reflector from Sofirn and it spent a looooooooong time in transit. I eventually got an bubble-envelope that was clearly empty, too, ripped on the reverse side and not even carefully sliced or anything. Someone must’ve felt something round and heavy, maybe thought it was a medallion or coins or something, and grabbed it.

By pure sheer stoopit luck, I just happened to be near the door when I heard the beep-beep-beep when the mailman would zap the package upon delivery, so I saw it immediately and chased down the mailman to show him. He asked, “Oh, it’s empty?”, like… duh? So he rebeeped it as refused, and that was the only way I got a resend. Otherwise, it’d just be, “Hey, we’re showing that it’s been delivered”, and I’d be SOL. In fact, my first round of email was exactly that, ’til the “delivery exception” status showed up, and I included the usps.com link for it.

That’s why to this day, if I know something’s out for delivery, I try to make sure I can catch the mailman when he delivers, or the Amavan as it arrives. Problem is that sometimes I get snailmail at 10-11, other times it’s come as late as 15-16, depending who delivers it.

It’s Amazing though—- I’ll be home and know a package is coming —be up front in the office most of the day — As soon as I go to the back for something — Walla Delivered

Nothing worse than getting a Good Deal on something —only for it to be taken away in Transit
