[GB-Closed!] Supfire m6 triple - CLOSED!

Yes, possibly. But if they simply raised the price a dollar or two they could make a nice profit on 50 to 75 pieces.

im sure they would. no one does anything for free these days. well some do, this group buy aint earning me nothing lol... but a retailer would charge something to the final cost.

i will wait for their response to my last email. if its not a positive response, i will explore other available options

Interesting point. Would it be inappropriate to see if established vendors will stock (and ship) this?

johnny mac already put a product request in to fasttech right at the beginning of the group buy... so no harm now at this point i guess

Maybe we could just tell the retailer, "Hey, this will be good publicity." Maybe we could ask one of the underdogs like LightCastle or something. And let them tack on $1 per piece, they'll even turn a handy little profit too.

You’ve already earned my gratitude for the effort on this deal thus far. Isn’t that earning enough for you :)???

maybe, but i will wait to see what supfires reply is before i go that route.

i took a $25 chance on the SRM (Sky Ray Mystery), and that was a disappointment. $30 or right around there seemed like a safe gamble on this one, but $40 is pushing it even for me. there is limited info on supfire as it is...

is that quote in USD or yen? you might want to double check they meant USD and not some Chinese currency. if its over $40 then im for sure out. ill just buy the new product that FT offers for $37. $30 is perfect and you are right, anything over this will kill the GB

$40 period is not for me. there is not enough known about supfire. what little i have heard is mostly positive, but that is not much.

yes, i would prefer a 26650 SRK at this price point

Thanks for trying to do this. I’m not surprised though on the shipping. I have bought in bulk from China many times over the years and it seems that they always shoot good prices and then stupid high shipping. $11 to ship individually is actually about the best price I have seen, most of the time they won’t even consider giving that kind of a break.

they quoted something like $98 for 50 pieces shipped fedex 5-8 days i think. i figured thats $2 a light, maybe a couple dollars more...

But they would’ve all come in one big box probably. Less handling, less work (tracking, billing, etc.) for them. I don’t think you can directly compare that to individual shipments.

Plus, there’d be customs on top of that to get it in-country, which presumably would be on-us.

I had one the other day that I was trying to get a good deal on new panasonic batteries. They quoted me $58 shipping for a 100. and $53 for one. I don’t think they normally care for doing any kind of individual shipping at all. I actually think $11 is pretty good.

That battery box that I sent you for the e-cig mod was a deal like that. I ended up buying 500 boxes because of the shipping cost. They simply would not come down at all on shipping. I only needed a couple hundred but ended up taking all 500 because it brought the price per box down so much. It would have cost me just as much to buy 250. So now I have an extra 200 boxes or so. Need a bunch of battery boxes? :wink:

depends, how much per box lol

I don’t have an SRK or any multi-LED but my guess is this would be a good quality light, even though unconfirmed. Like you, I’ll pull the driver and don’t think hassling options makes sense.

Over $33 shipped it’s a question mark for me and others (mostly due to incoming 4 LED options in the similar form factor) as you might share with them. I’d be happy to try and combine orders with other members locally to help keep the shipping cost down, so you might see what they’d do for 3+ lights to one address when you get it close to settled. I imagine this could work well for a lot of areas to help keep the numbers up.

Our flashlight M6:M6
I am qing ,from Shenzhen City Supfire Lighting Equipment Co.,Ltd. We are the original manufacturer which produce led flashlight. I know,you will want to buy this model, $28.26/pcs i can give you. We also have many other models flashlight. Pls check our website: www.supfire.com
If there anything I can help you,pls contact me.

I really think we need to go another route at this point though.the shipping charges is a killer when just about all Chinese deales ship for free.

Do you have a well known online web store that you deal with that may be able to hanldle free shipping with minimal profit for this quantity?

We are already over 40 pieces claimed, pending final price shipped. At scout $40 shipped, I know most users will back out, including myself.

@sweety yu, the only reason we have 40+ people now is due to the $30 shipped price. If its going to be $40 shipped then we will all go but the new YL-U2 from FastTech or by a sky ray king/kung. Those options are cheaper than the $40 shipped you see posting now. Just my opinion and I know many other agree. Pretty much anything over $30 shipped and I’m out, especially asking how chinese companies ship free all the time including fasytech. Food luck with your sales and hope you see our point of view

Dear Pulsar,
If your $40 for a pcs M6 and include shipping, my boss want to promote our products, it is ok. And your quantity must be above 40pcs in total.

Waiting your reply

Thanks&Best regards
