Oh gosh, at this point I be tempted to send them a PDF in Yiddish.
LOL No kidding.
No good deed goes unpunished. OL’s HD2010 GB hit a slight snag too.
I guess we’re not big enough or heavy enough for them to worry about. Hence the misdirection and blatant lies.
Maybe if/when we stop buying from them they’ll get the idea.
All orders go through MtnElectronics now for me. I did get in on the O-L group buy, but just barely. Very sick and tired of all this Chinese drama.
MtnElectronics’ prices are great but the total cost goes up for overseas (outside US) buyers like me because of the shipping fees. I just wish there will be MtnElectronics ‘branches’ to cater to flashaholics from other parts of the world. 
Rumor has it he's buying Amazon by the end of the year. 
Often Amazon wont ship here either.
Then hold out until the Spring of next year when he buys ebay.
And if you can’t get ebay, I hear that there’s a herd of trained goats that he’s been looking at buying.
Thank you 18sixfifty for your time and energy you invested in this project :)
I got the refund 2,5 hours ago. I wanted 12 drivers and 5 emitters (maybe increase the number up to ten) - now I will try if Fasttech offers me the same prices as the "old" group buy prices.
Got my refund. Thank you for all the work you put into this, and sorry for how unprofessional FT has been throughout the ordeal. Even though their prices are still fairly competitive, I'm going to order the parts I need from elsewhere.
Thanks guys and sorry again for the trouble.
I’m going to be shopping elsewhere myself. I really can’t see myself dealing with them again after this.
I placed the order for the mods, but after that I’m done with them.
Thanks for trying. FastTech, if any of your reps read this, the way you have dealt with this is completely stupid. Also with an item that was faulty I sent back and you changed your mind on refunding as well. I’ve directed business away from you a few times already because of it, you’ve already lost much more than you would have lost dealing with these issues correctly.
Got my refund.
Thank you for all your efforts 18sixfifty.
got mine back too
Sad that they screwed so many over, uncool of them
You did your best…they just kept changing the rules to squeeze more money…which is a low down rat fink way to do business
Make sure you let them know how much money they lost and how disgusted with their whole service
So who wants to orgainse the next Chinese group buy? 
Got my refund too, thanks 18 for the efforts.
I let them know I was good and ticked off. What gets me is that I know they lost money by not taking the order. Even at the price they quoted me they had to be making money. So why would they mess around and lose a $1,600 order and tick off a whole bunch of people? Lazy, greedy or stupid?
Also I had to have told them that this was for Budget Light Forum at least 30 different times. So they knew it was for a bunch of their customers who have been with them from the time they started out.
what to say , 18sixfifty I am sorry for the time and money you might lost from this .
Just going back to the issue of the small differences left from PP fees etc, really, the order was $1600? 2% of that was going to hurt…
now theres an eye opener. I thought maybe a couple of hundred in orders.
Never jumped on the FT bandwagon myself, actually had more problems with FT than many other vendors including several on the blacklist. Thanks for trying 18sixfifty, sorry about all the effort invested by yourself. As for the host, emitters, and drivers, I could care less.
