[sold out] SKY RAY 6 x Cree XM-L2 T6 3-Mode Cool White Light Flashlight - Black (4 x 18650) US$ 25,76 free shipping @ DX

Thanks for the answers, and I may conclude thereā€™s not a real winner. I arbitrarily decided to go for the Panny 3100, $35 for 3 pair @DX.

Wow, Iā€™m a little surprised DX would actually tell people itā€™s out of stock.

more like they realized their pricing mistake and decided to pull it out :wink:

Probably is a ā€œmistakeā€, though they also probably still dont lose money on it at that price. From what Iā€™ve heard about a year ago, they could sell SRKs for $20 and be OK, so +$5 for 3 old XMLs (maybe T4s or T5s), its still within that range.

Looks like a good candidate for a custom pill with so many buying the same light at the same time. Vestureofblood, bucket, ryansoh, hope I got those names right from memory.

Already 4 days and my order is still processing :expressionless: . Tangsfire C8 that i ordered from TMart 2 days ago already shipped.

I ordered mine on Saturday and quickly got a confirmation notice.
They now say they are out of stock. The truth is, they do not stock items so how can they ever be out of stock? I copied and pasted the list of steps as posted on the DX site.

The reason TMart ships so quickly is that if it ships from the USA warehouse, they actually have it in stock, and during a process like the above list they can skip step 1 and move directly to step 2. That saves up to 5 days. Then of course if you order from the US and they ship to the US, you get your order in about 5 days total.

I'm not sure if you guys really want to hear this, so be forewarned. I placed 5 different orders from DX back in early November 2013 from flashlight grease and tweezers, to some key chains and different orders Trustfire flame 3000mah batteries, and some random other stuff. It took over 1 month for them to ship my packages. Received 4 of those packages about 2 weeks ago!!! 1 package never made it to me. Holy mother of the flashlight Gods!!! Lets do some math. It took almost 4 months to get my stuff to me. I had even forgot I had ordered from DX to be honest. I was actually wondering who the packages were from when I opened them up, lol. That's 1/3rd of a year people. For this reason alone I will probably never order from DX again!

Good luck to you all who got this amazing deal. But it come's at a price that will test the limits of your mental fortitude and patience, but you shall endure!!! Hopefully you will receive it before the 4th of July!!!

I too have had a similar experience with Chinese orders...after so long you forget what you even ordered! It's like a surprise present...except for you payed for it months ago...and may not even need it anymore...

Strange, I just received an Email that my order is being processes. The order log at the website shows this already took place 2 days agoā€¦. :~

17/03/2014 04:40:54 Order Processing Order is being processed.

Yeah, Iā€™ve had a similar experience with CNQG/Ric, I got one order months later, and Iā€™m still waiting for some items after 5 months. But this time if they take even close to the end of the paypal dispute window, Iā€™m definitely filing within it. I made a mistake of trusting CNQG due to reviews here and not doing that. Every time I contact him and he gets around to responding, says he shipped or ā€œoops I will shipā€ and I have to remember another month to check up on this, but I wish I would have filed now and had an end to it. At least they are two smaller orders.

On the other hand, anyone who ordered these should probably sit back and relax and just mark 30 or 40 days on a reminder service/calendar of some kind, because I know DX takes a while too. You gave them an order, and theyā€™ve got till dispute window time to do fill it, no need to worry till then.

Does it say on their website which items are available from the US warehouse?

VIP treatmentā€¦must be very special. :zipper_mouth_face:

Though, Iā€™m NOT considering cancelling this SRK order in any way, so thereā€™s no benefit for me. :bigsmile:

Yes they do, I always try to order the items that are.

Here's the US DX warehouse exclusive site for flashlights.

http://usd.dx.com/category/flashlights-lasers-999

These arenā€™t from a US warehouse and nothing is kept in inventory - I just learned the hard way! TexasToasted set me straight. They promise that the items will be available in 48 hours but it doesnā€™t happen.

Please do not hijack this Thread,
It is about the Flashlight Deal,

Official DX Thread: for discussion and questions

Thanks

I take it nobody has gotten any shipping notice so far?

Whatā€™s really ironic here is that I bought mine with a credit I had from DX from about a year ago. I got the credit after waiting 4 months for 3 - XM-L C10ā€™s. When I finally got them, they turned out to be XR-Eā€™s, even though the logo on the light stated XM-L. It took almost 6 months of additional waiting when DX finally said we canā€™t ship and gave me a credit.
So, i bought this with 2 year old money and now Iā€™ll have to wait all over again.
