There are two ways to look at life, the way things are and the way things ought to be. If you look at the reality of the situation and accept that, there is no need for stress.
Anyone who orders from a relatively unknown small Chinese seller and expects their items to be at their house in two weeks is an idiot. An idiot I say!
You got 50% off and we crashed their servers by inundating them with probably more orders than they have ever seen. On top of that, it was the busy Xmas shipping season.
I ordered a knife from Fastech at the beginning of Dec. Just got it the other day. Fastech is supposed to ship stuff out fast. Ifnthey shipped it out when they said which was within 2 days of my order, that means, all the extra time was not even their fault.
I think the main problem is you actually trust and believe in the tracking numbers and shipping info they give you. Don’t pay any attention to that. Just wait a month and then start checking into it. Getting all stressed after a few days just doesn’t make sense.
i was told from cherry that they use a third part logistics company to get the packages to hong kong post.
so maybe wallbuys have left the packages to the logistics company, the logistics company didn’t drive straight to hong kong post (don’t know where wallbuys are situated, maybe the packages need to go through some logistics terminal), then came 4 days around new years where nothing happened.
then the logistics company took the goods to hong kong post, where they needed a couple of days of processing time to get the goods into their system.
so maybe wallbuys doesn’t scam us, and tell us the truth. but due to their bad english in general, and bad understanding of communications with westerners, a lot of you guys are upset…
so ILK, maybe wallbuys dispatched your goods as their website says, and now when cherry tells you to relax, she means it’ll be sent from hong kong to USA now after all the extra handling time from dispatch from wallbuys, until it actually leaves for USA.
(or else i’m just too used to waiting for a while nowadays, and my habit of thinking good about other people’s intentions makes me stupid. if they don’t outright lie to people, this feels like a possible explanation to the situation)
Don't forget guys Hong Kong has the busiest port in the world nearly all goods go through there, the same rules apply for airmail. These things take time. My first order with Wallbuys took 3 weeks, my orders with Fasttech took between 4 to 6 weeks and they were supposed to be fast.
It's not Fasttech or wallbuys fault we always complain about postage times but we love the prices and come back for more.
I haven’t ordered anything from them, just trying to understand if what’s up. What I’m getting out of this is that Wallbuys is located somewhere in mainland China, they use a logistics company to send goods to Hong Kong where the items get mailed out through Hong Kong post office. So it is possible WallBuys did dispatch from their location on the 31st, but the logistics company didn’t get stuff into the Hong Kong post office until Jan 11th? If so, this seems like a huge mis-communication, not deliberate lying.
if i’ve understood the chat with cherry right, that seems to be the case. she didn’t say explicit where they are located, but i asked if they use a logistics company to transport outgoing goods to hong kong post, and she said yes.
that’s why i’m thinking that maybe wallbuys isn’t lying to people, maybe we’re just unlucky with an extra middle man and new year, and especially bad communications from wallbuys…
sorry for bringing logic and reason to the thread. :bigsmile:
i might be a naive idiot though, if wallbuys really scams people, and outright lie to people… :zipper_mouth_face:
I’ve been wondering how some of these companies can offer the option of Singapore Post, Hong Kong post or China Post. Now it makes sense that there is a “logistics” middle man involved thats shipping the goods in bulk to the desired post office.
Had you tried to track your order? If so, what pattern did it follow? Could you define the terms, like “Processed through”? Can you give us any clues on how to read this shipping stuff/
I noticed that my Jan. 10th sale purchase shipped today.
And that may very well be true. I don’t know. And really I shouldn’t call Wallbuys liars unless I know for sure what happened here. One thing is probably for sure is that I may never know the whole truth.
I’m just gonna wait and see what happens. But I hope you guys can see where a person would get upset and concerned when your told one thing and then see another according to the tracking info.
Thanks scaru for the info on the battery info on the laser.
well i think… idiot is a strong word indeed.
one of the reason i want to ship with DHL is kind of to test if they are real or not…
i’m pretty sure you should know by now DHL is one of the biggest shipping and reliable company.
if they are real bonafide company, the packages should be here in no time…
then next time when i order again from them , i’ll have a peace of mind knowing that this company is legit and reliable.
i ordered from fasttech 3X already, yet they haven’t failed to amaze me… average is 10 days including weekend.
but, i placed a rather large order… usually around $100+,
common sense will tell you if buy 1 cheap item… they WILL NOT spend the most expensive shipping option to get the item to you faster… especially when it’s free shipping.
maybe $30 it’s not such a big deal to me, since it will help make my decision and others at BLF little bit easier in choosing to order from this company in future.
as you calling other people in this forum idiots for wanting to receive their lights faster…
to each of they own… some people might think, it’s the other way around
looks like we might actually get our stuff. one of my my christmas orders arrived today. so yes, as i said i will be eating crow. it was well packaged and had wallbuys return address so maybe not dropshipping. other christmas order still sitting HK.
I got my first Christmas order today. The post office attempted to deliver it on the 9th, but we had moved. I ordered a red Xeno E03 with XP-G emitter. They sent me a black Xeno E15 with a 1B T6 XM-L. Now I’m not complaining because the E15 is considerably more costly, but it’s not what I ordered. I have another order with yet another E03 on it that should be right behind this one. Whichever model I get I hope it has the XP-G emitter. I’d like the bit of extra throw and I have another light same form factor in XM-L. The nice thing with the E15 is it comes with an extension tube so you can use two AA’s. I’m waiting to see what I get in my other order before I open this package. This one might be for sale if anybody is interested.
I WAS tempted to buy that 2xAA but as soon as I went to check out, it was 12:01 and I had missed it. Wouldn’t let me check out lol.
Glad the orders are beginning to arrive, and that is extremely frustrating that Daylighter paid for DHL and is having such issues while others using the basic free shipping are already receiving their orders. Sorry to hear Daylighter!!
yeah my luck… the company still has no idea who got my packages…
Wallbuys assured they shipped both orders together through DHL,
DHL said they never received the packages to be deliver…only the electronic shipping info.
The logistic company insist they shipped already but kept on changing tracking# that can’t be trace…( wth?)
trying not to stress about those packages right now… give them enough time to correct the mistakes, but yet they still not able to correct it… SMH
so pissed right now… to cheer myself up, i open my new 4 LEDs XML T6 bicycle light just to see what kind of driver inside( it’s buck driver)… and now it’s dead after i put it all back together…SMH :Sp
