Decided to get myself a present and to get a Armytek Predator X v.2 XM-L

Ordered from armytek.com, a Canadian company with a nice Canadian flag on their website.

They advertise Free DHL worldwide shipping.

What a surprise to have FedEx deliver the package, with a nice 37$ “customs” fee.
The flashlight got shipped from china.

I was very very disappointed
I refused the package and requested a refund.

Will see how it goes, ill update the post.

I think Armytek has a some doc or waiver they can provide. I have a 2nd on the way and if it makes it to my doorstep no way its leaving..lol

Armytek's on CPF and responsive send them a PM

I filled the online refund form, will see what happen.

you're Canadian living in Canadia, Armytek is Canadian too, you order from them, they ship off China, and you get to pay customs omfg.

holy c***!

Great picture lol

It represent really how disappointed I was!

Oh man, I know that is not appropriate (and sorry for that) but I laughed at loud
after reading this especially after seeing kreisler’s picture :smiley:
I was also contemplating on ordering one of the Viking’s…

yeah, that does suck big time. for that price, they ought to have them in hand IN canada, at the very least. and a nice note that says “Made in China. Shipped from China” at the top.

Don’t feel bad, I also laughed at loud after seeing kreisler’s picture :stuck_out_tongue:

When it gets straightened out, have them send you an xp-g2 version. Lose 100 lumens for double the throw!

Just tell them to mark the value as 10 $. Anything over 60 and you have to pay.

No news from them yet.

Still no news from armytek :frowning:

hey I sent a question to JETbeam via their website at the end of december and I got the answer…. yesterday!!!

So far, only communication is:

Your order has been canceled by a customer. Please contact shop administration.

Good news, got my refund.

A lot of flashlights are shipped from China and I don’t surprised :wink: As for me, if the quality is good, it doesn’t matter where flashlight is shipped from, even if from Mars :stuck_out_tongue:

I think the op was questioning the extra charges not the quality of the light,ie customs import from a canadian company :wink:

yea, you are right :slight_smile:
bottomline: we should be more attentive
