What? :~ You obviously don’t understand marketing! I drive an Audi and would not buy anything else, but that does not stop Mercedes and BMW trying to sell me a car! If they offered me a very good deal, I may look at them. But if they offered me a deal and then withdrew it prematurely, I would not think they were very professional and would avoid them.
Why on earth would a flashlight company try and avoid a flashlight community? It’s target audience. You must be the only person here with only one brand of torch the I presume?
I have not missed the point at all. Thrunite have got a lot of brand awareness recently here and on facebook after this promotion. The problem is it is not a positive.
It’s ok, I suppose they were overwhelmed by the number of orders they got for the \$5 offer, and they got more than they could handle… :p
Although usually the postal system here works very well, it definitely lags behind the organization and service of other western countries, in many areas. As for Greece, well countries and governments nowadays are run not by politicians, or by the will of the people, but by multinational companies, banks, and funds… someone always makes money by causing suffering at someone else…
We should have an after sale swap so people who want to swap the low mode with firefly can find each other. I don’t really care about color but I hope I don’t dim (firefly) version. I don’t have any use for a light that barely works.
I was sure I had paid for one low-level firefly, the early days of the original offer (and I only registered one time)
Now I don’t know if that’s what’s going to be shipped, apparently not.
And when I go to their website, I can’t find any way to order a low-level firefly.
Is there a reseller handling these who knows what they have, and can sell the specific model/color/brightness that a customer wants?
Pointer welcome.
I just placed an order within the last half hour and got it for $10.99, 2100 PDT. I’m hoping its black like in the picture and I hope it’s the .04 lumen version as I’ve been looking for a good Moon Mode flashlight. I already have a 3 lumen Titanium Innovations Illuminati and at times 3 lumens is too bright and messes with night vision. I’ve ordered from China before (RC helicopters) and the longest I had to wait was around 30 days. Can’t say I’m used to the waiting but the price was good and hopefully it will turn out well.
I forgot to add that my main concern with ordering fromChinais that my credit information is now on some overseas server with potentially questionable security. Maybe I’m just too paranoid since security hasn’t been so tight here in the states recently. With the helicopters they shipped as “gifts” and were subject to being held up in Customs for inspection, which could take a few days to a few weeks, but more often than not the package just went right on through unopened. Due to its relatively smaller size I’m expecting this package to come through faster, knock on wood.
Have to admit I was so excited to see a Firefly available that I didn’t check where it was shipping from before I ordered. Got to get the deal and all you know but for $11 you can’t go wrong. If I get a pink one I know a couple female acquaintances one of whom will be receiving a nice gift. I’m still blown away by the price including shipping fromChinaand all and in the back of my head a little voice is saying “remember, you get what you pay for”
