Another Wallbuys 20-50% off sale.

Placed an order right after the sale started. PayPal charge was processed. Haven’t heard anything from Wallbuys about the order… Is this normal? How long does it take to get an order confirmation? Can’t check order status without a number.
Thanks.

You won't see an email. You need to log into your account and look for "orders" and find the order number listed there. Then use "track order" link at upper right of page with the order # you just found.

Hi Garry, Thanks for your help. I checked my account but there is no order number listed. I think the problem is that I put the items in my cart and went right to “Pay with PayPal.” I wasn’t logged in to my Wallbuys account when I placed the order. I guess I’ll have to contact them to get my order number.

It’s an easy thing to do because 99.9% of the time when you place an order online, the seller requires you to either log in to your account or open a new account before you can check out.

I'm still wait'n on my xmas order - says it's still in HK. They have been responsive though to me - their site is flaky - the Order List doesn't work anymore, for me at least.

Don't believe the tracking, all of my packages are still in HK yet one has already been delivered.

At this price they are still earning profit. Compare this price with taobao.com and you can see they are 20-30% higher.

I think they are positioning themselves as a low cost leader with little aftersales service

(You don’t need to open an account to place an order.)
Did you go through the “check out” and then choose to pay by PayPal? If that’s the case, at least you should have received an email from PayPal. Does the PayPal email state you made a payment to Wallybuy? Does the PayPal email list the items you ordered? Is your email address with PayPal the same as the one in your account with Wallybuy?

Yes, I did get an email from PayPal listing the items that I ordered. I think you hit the nail on the head when you asked about my email address. I registered with Wallbuys using a different email address than my PayPal email address. That is why the order is not showing up at Wallbuys.
If Wallbuys required you to log into your account before paying for an order, than the order would be linked to your Wallbuy’s account regardless of how you pay. That’s how most online retailers work. The only reason this matters to me is because without having an order number I cannot check the status of my order.

I ordered the HL21 headlight, and got an email from Wallbuys with the order number. Later I noticed they also had the diffusers, so bought a couple of those too, and got another acknowledgment. I then emailed Cherry to ask if the two orders could be shipped together (seems a little wasteful shipping a $2.22 order), and got a reply this morning saying they would be. I’m a happy bunny …. again.

Oh, and I never did thank kronological for the heads up on this - good find, thank you.

Well, got my order number from Cherry…all is well. Now the waiting :slight_smile:

says "Status: Package Shipped"

omg that was swift

:party:

Kieisler, you and me both have the same disease. :wink:

I got a shipping notice too. I also ordered something from Fasttech yesterday, so it will be interesting to see what arrives first (my money is on Fasttech, although it hasn’t shipped yet).

i don’t have more money right now, poor student :slight_smile:

dont get me going

:D

TrustFire TR-3T6 was back in stock, so I grabbed one for $24,36. There’s one left.

Now let’s hope they don’t mark it with a higher value than I payed (tax-free import limit here is €22 or about $29).

So basically, the tracking number is useless? Then I fail to see the point in even sending it with one. I mean, after all, that IS what a tracking number is for, right?

I do hope that is the case with mine. According to my tracking, it left HK 11 days ago and has not been updated since. I ordered on Dec 25th, and if it doesn't show up by Friday, it will officially be the longest I have waited for any packages from China.

You are welcome.

I actually got the info from another member that posted the sale on another WallBuys thread…can’t remember which member it was. Thought it deserved it’s own thread for those that have tuned out the WB threads because of the endless WB bashing.

Yes, I fit that category quite well. :wink:
