Tmart Group Buy - Closed

great work OL!
bought a tangsfire with the coupon.

like “always” with good deals on flashlights, you need to be quick, and a little bit of lucky.
Hopefully those who missed out on the deal did something useful with the time they didn’t spend here on BLF :slight_smile:

Thanks so much OldLumens! :heart_eyes:

Hmmm -

i ordered the NoName on 22/3 and this morning the status changed from “processing” to “back order” :frowning:

Yes! Mine just ship just now after 4 days….normally they ship in 2 days time after payment.

I also got a notification and see that it's already moving my way.

Just checked, mine is also now on “back order”… The TangsFire has already been shipped.

I will find out from Tmart how long on this backorder stuff.

Backorder here also :expressionless: and I paid like 25 minutes after you (OL) published coupon codes :expressionless:
…I would say that this was my first and last purchase from tmart.

DAM...backordered here too and I was in very early.

I was also really early…

I do not know why. I won't know till tomorrow, since the reply will not come till after about 1AM here.

If any of you are dissatisfied, I suggest you contact tmart and see if you can cancel your order. That way, you don't have to deal with them again. Life goes on and Chinese vendors will always screw up. Time after time they do, they ALL do sooner or later, count on it before you buy. I certainly learned my lesson. They cannot get it right, they never get it right and I will not deal with overseas sellers for a group buy any more. It's just not worth it.

Dont get too discouraged OL. Your efforts payed off for many appreciative members. This will be a first thrower for many people, and you chose a great one for the introduction. Thanks for putting together the GB.

I'm guessing this group buy went "Global". Seems they were sold out before our group purchased.

It seems to be SOP over there, take orders, collect the money, then go purchase the stock.

1. cheap

2. fast

3. good quality

Pick two.

My TangsFire was shipped on Sunday and was delivered yesterday, March 25. It was shipped from NJ to me, also in NJ.

Thank you for setting this up. Sorry to see how many people did not get in on the savings.

Without seeing them for myself as a large warehouse, I assume all of these businesses are run in small garages in back alleys somewhere. At night its where some poor bugger sleeps, after toiling all day in a factory, and then runs the website, probably with his family, in the few hours left of the day. Most of what you order they have to then source. After seeing a few docos on they way many Chinese live just trying to get ahead, nothing surprises me. Hard workers, amazing work ethic. Sadly less than stellar English, while still many times better than my Mandarin/Cantonese.

Oh and mine (plain) says its shipped.

I am used to wait 25 to 35 days for goods from .hk

thank you OL for your work to get this Alive!

I agree with above sentiment. This is going to be my first flashlight of this type and I appreciate all the effort that went into getting this going.

Also ordered no name version the 22nd, recently changed to backorder.

just checked the no name ( my first order ) was back order… but the Tangsfire is coming tomorrow :smiley:
Thanks Justin… for doing this for us :beer: :beer:
now if you can only do group buy for Convoy L4 for the same price :8)
