Disappointed with Wallbuys Christmas sale..

I've had some communications with them, and they are really, really swamped - new biz, overwhelmed it sounds like and I think they must have taken a bath on that 50% sale.

I got the HD2011 rcv'd in decent time, but ordered it back in the beginning of Dec. I measured 3.5-3.6A on a decent battery, and that thing gets hot in seconds! Opening it up, I can see why - this HD 2011 is a piece of junk in my opinion, but was working on it tonight, swapping in a U3 1C, a 4*7135 1-sided driver, stacking another set of 7135's to get it up to 2.8A, which is really too much for this light - there ain't much there inside - nothing of a pill, a thin 1mm star mounted on thin anodized aluminum. I'd add some copper but there's no room at all with the stacked 7135's. Best I can do is pot the pill area. The host is that thin, cheap, plastic-feel aluminum.

hah…the fact that they ponied up what was gonna be available for the 10th and then on the 7th found out none of it was available….naahhh… Bye Bye Wallbuys !

wallbuys says shipped, tracking numbers say sitting in HK since the 31st. not acceptable . filing dispute with paypal.want my money back!

Dang, after reading this, glad I didn’t bought anything from them :expressionless:
Anyway, hope all of you will receive yours babys later.

As long as my 50% off Fenix lights show up from Christmas, I’’l be OK.

can’t be in HK for that long… either they haven’t ship it yet or they just didn’t have your stuffs… and they waiting from their seller to ship it to them.
in the meanwhile they file an electronic shipping info to the shipper so the shipper can post it on the website.

@daylighter. if so they should let me know.period.44 days and i file dispute period. may not wait that long. depends how fired up i get.

sashix you made the right call.

i got half my order the other day, both lights are great, still waiting on one more. it is strange that they wouldnt ship them together but its there dime. this will be the third order ive got from them and so far all has been good.

much more then i can say for the bastards at Deal Extreme! spend countless hours to get there 1/2 off deal only to have them wait two week to tell me half my order is out of stock! then after countless emails back and forth i told them to go screw themselves and refund my money, which they have only refunded the expetited shipping i upgraded too, seems they dont want to refund the $49.99. no wonder they can offer 50% off deal when they have no intentions of delivering. i will NEVER deal with them again!

I just got my first package from them. :) somehow it left hong kong today and was still delivered...

scaru, you received one of your Christmas sale shipments?

What are the dates on the shipping?

I’m glad some of you are you are receiving your orders.

Still, for me the process isn’t worth it for flashlights that are more impulse buys than must haves. I get a weird feeling when I have to work hard to spend my money. I feel like it’s a sign I shouldn’t be spending it :stuck_out_tongue:

I also kind of like the thrill of the hunt for that great deal.

for me it was a great deal as i saved almost $200. i went for the expensive light such as

and something like this light
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Torch-Flashlight-TrustFire-AK-47-9x-Cree-MX-L-T6-11000-Lumens-9x-Cree-LED-Lamp-/150977934083?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item2326fc7303

come to think of it… they don’t offer those lights anymore on their website,
with my luck, they probably will write me an email and says” sorry sir, we don’t have those lights anymore … so we have to cancel your order”

I ordered a 2011 for $9.99 just after Christmas. No tracking number, no e-mail, nothing but a Q number, whatever that is. I was going to buy the SRK if it was 50% off. But at only %25 it wasn’t that great a deal anyway. Not when you can get one for $45 over at Fast Tech. I ordered a Sky Ray Rook from Fast Tech the same time as I did the 2011 and I have the Rook already. Nice little light too. ($28)

Oh well, I won’t say I will never order from them again. But it won’t be anytime soon after reading the complaints. They will either step up their game or be gone.

After you get the Q number (WB’s order number) you have to click on order tracking, plug in your paypal email, then Q number, and that will give you an update including the tracking number. You can then use that tracking number on 17track or usps to find out where your package might be…I say might…cause there seems to be some delay in information on Chinese shipments.

i tried that too…it still says the packages is in HK… but DHL reps says other wise, they said they never receive the package to be ship… only electronic shipping info :Sp

Thanks, I tried that it all I get is order shipped on 1/1/2013 and then on the right Tracking number says. “NOTRACKNUMBER”

What a pain in the rear end. Should I just e-mail them now or what? If they haven’t shipped, I would prefer to get my money back.

Communication is key…chat ’em up and see what they say.

Well they wrote back right away after I e-mailed them just a minute ago.

“hello sir
Thank you for your support,and I have check for your order Q123193xxxx,there is no tracking number in it.
your order price 9.99$,and if the order more than 15$ ,then we will add tracking number free,if not you can add 1.5$ extra for tracking number
any problem, contact me soon”

So it’s the waiting game I guess.

Well I better receive my order soon. I’m not happy with Wallbuys at all. Terrible service I think.

I remember that $15 min for tracking. I wouldn’t worry about it too much…my order came in today that was originally ordered on Dec. 20th…takes awhile from China. Seems there are hiccups on a few orders, but those that have received their items seem generally pleased with them.
