Site is back online but its some other weird site now, selling dresses and no torches under the listings.
Hmm this might explain why I haven’t got a response on my emails.
With the starrylight groupbuy I ordered a custom logo and received a misprint on my host. He promised me to send a new host which would ship out 21st of april.
Stil haven’t received it.
I contacted him 30th of april to ask if it was already shipped out because I did not get a shipping notification
I contacted him the 26th of may to ask if it was already shipped because I still didn’t receive the new body, since it was now 5 weeks and the original shipment took only 3 weeks. I tend to get packages from china in 1-3 weeks most of the time.
Last monday, the 2nd of june I contacted him by PM here on BLF. To ask if he received my emails, and to ask about the order status since it was now 6 weeks. Until now no response on any of my messages.
I know Ric has a high reputation so didn’t really worry that much, but seeing all this really makes me wonder.
it is obvious that the website was hacked. This is not official lightinthebox website. Looks like a phishing web.
CNQG also has aliexpress store. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/925745
You can try contacting Ric there with message or live chat.
Does w ork, but images are missing. Something is definitely wrong with that site. I would hold off spending any money for now.
Seems like a website under construction.
A simple announcement from Ric would have eased everyone’s mind and alerted us to the impending changes.
I only get “404 not found” :~
Would be very nice if Ric addressed this here.
It could be just me, but has anyone noticed that Ric’s CPF Marketplace threads seem to have disappeared? Certainly nothing in the last month, which seems strange (unless, of course, they have been deleted by an enthusiastic mod over there). Oh, hang on, that wouldn’t be strange at all.
I got a link to “lightinthebox” which appears to be a borg:

There are CNQ’s items on lightinthebox but without pics and with very limited description.
plus if you look at the product numbers they all start with CNQ
if you click on contact us, then live chat, its……well looks dodgy
Doesn’t work:
This message is now up.
"In the shop stocktaking, please come again later... Website is under upgration & maintainess! Any question please email to cnqualitygoods@hotmail.com"
That’s the same email address I used to get information about my starrylight host and didn’t get a response to.
I’m getting more and more the feeling that Ric just avoids me and the host never was sent.
CNQ is back!
Hmm. Down again. Does not instill confidence.
I notice the JM20 is up for $35 as a GB, it was offered at $28 as a GB days before the site went down. At that time, $38 was the everyday low price, and RRP listed as the $58 showing still.
Edit: Now its $42.
Its working for me. Although it looks incomplete with blank spaces that are clearly meant ot have products in them.
I just bought a light from FancyFlashlights not knowing that it’s run by Ric and CNQ. Considering CNQG has been MIA for weeks now, is Fancy going the same route ?
