I had just ordered qty 5 of these: 2.1A 7135 2 group driver for $2.37 each -- I'll add 7135's and re-program them anyway. I've ordered a ton of these: 2.8A 7135 2 group driver at $2.68 each in the past in qty 5 or qty 10 bunch's. I thought I requested ordering qty 10 of items in the past from them, and it took so long for them to get back to me, and the price difference was insignificant anyway, so I gave up trying to get price quotes.
This pretty much is another confirmation how bad these guys have become. Unfortunately, I still have to depend on them for some things because they still are the only source for some hard to find items, and they still have the best 7135 driver and parts prices around that I could find.
Many of us swear almost as much as our wives. But not all of us like to read it, some are women who dont like foul language, some of us have children/grandchildren reading alongside us. After all, its just torches we are talking about here and as such most dont expect to be confronted with language that leaves us wishing we didnt let the little tikes sit on our lap as we browse our favorite forum. This leavs people apprehensive about logging in too, so we lose, well who knows what we lose, but Im guessing most dont want to find out. As we are a community, the only way that can work is not to swear/post pictures you wouldnt want your kids to see.
Thanks for handling all the trouble so gracefully 18sixfifty! Groupbuys are usually not trouble-free, but this one went really unfortunate! Great effort!
Well, hate to say this, but I have/had a cart full of stuff 16 items, over $127 worth of junk. I was waiting to see how this buy went before I pulled the trigger. So….I just went ahead and ordered it from different vendor for a few dollars more. Just cause. I hope they read this and understand what kinda of Public Relations message this sends to folks.
186fitty, Thanks for the hard work attempting to put this one GB together. You are a true paragon.
I got my refund too… thank, but I still miffed they don’t want to honor their words… maybe it’s time to boycott them, just buy the driver and LED from your local vendors… screw them, we gave them a lot of business in the past because their stellar customer service.
These days… heck even Wallbuys doing a lot better than them in term of customer service and shipping time( not to mention sometimes in prices too) :Sp
I did, because after I placed the order, they decided that each shipping address was it’s own order and therefore they wouldn’t give the “wholesale” price on those orders. So the only order that would get the price they quoted me was the one for the mods I was doing. There were 12 people who wanted me to mod them for them. Because they were all shipping to one address they gave me the quoted price for that. Although they haven’t actually given me the refund on that either. So as of now I have still paid full price for that order as well.
I had to pay for the entire order at full price and then they were going to refund the difference. But they decided that they wouldn’t do the quoted price for the individual shipping address which was everyone but the mods. So I canceled the entire order and re-ordered just the stuff for the mods that I was having shipped to me. At least that way the people who wanted me to do a mod for them got that part.
I believe that you are being exceedingly polite with your wording. FT has made mistake after mistake here at your expense. lt has not gone unnoticed. If you can be honest in this public forum, apart from everything else, how much money are you out of pocket with this fiasco? One way or another FT has not heard the last of this. I feel for you and applaud your efforts and professionalism you have handled yourself during this debacle. Thanks.
Thanks, I’m not sure what I’m out total. But there were a few things, some of the paypal stuff depending on what country and also some from exchange rate things. But not a big deal compared with the time and aggravation. A few nice people kicked in money the first time to handle the paypal stuff, but I gave that money back with the refunds. I thought that was only fair, they didn’t kick in that money expecting it to not even go through at all.
Now two people have kicked in and that was very nice of them, but I’m not asking anyone to help.
I should have handled this better myself and ended this when the logo fell through. I should have known then that they wouldn’t get their act together. Although I was really surprised by the last nonsense. If people wanted to order these at full price they could do that without me as a middle man. What exactly would be the point to having a group buy at FULL PRICE!! Which is what they tried to do, they used me as a middle man to sell their stuff at full price. I would like to think it wasn’t intentional and just them not communicating. But considering that there were dozens of communications back and forth I don’t know how. I think they really just tried to low ball me and everyone else, thinking that after it was all ordered I wouldn’t back out. I’m glad they didn’t get the logo done now, because if they had I know I would have footed the bill for it and let it slide just so everyone could have a cool light.
Well I think that is for everyone to decide on their own. For many Fast Tech is kind of the least of many evils. They simply have some things that you can’t get anyplace else at their prices. I will be looking for someone else to do business with that is for sure. I couldn’t stand Wallbuys at first because of the nonsense they pulled with me and others. Now I wish they were around more on here and would just figure out that they can’t spam people or set up shills.
I know I’ll be tossing more business to the people who are more reliable like RMM’s store and a few others. What I would like is one stop shopping for drivers and emitters. The lights I can almost always find deals on.
