STARTED: GBGB: Stainless steel AAA clicky with a clip (CQG S1 "clone")

Do tell.

Not much to tell that isnt on the other GB thread. Packages shipped with THIN single layer of bubble wrap “tapped” to the host, no padding at all, thin boxes crushing due to no padding, over anodizing threads causing connection issues, connection issues causing HORRIBLE driver whining, loose/bad cut threads, oversized battery tube causing battery rattle, packages NOT shipping even with the 5 day promise, invalid tracking, etc……

Now add to this GB and MY current issues. Purchased last Monday (7/11), shipping notice on Friday (7/14), tracking still not working and when I just checked again I got this message “NOT RECOGNIZED”………so did I get a BS tracking code just to fake the shipment? Honestly GB could have a 95% success rate with the ‘dreamcharger’ but they arent doing so well with the XintD or this GB, IMO. It could be that only people with issues are speaking up but I havent seen many “success” posts.

Just check the order page on GB and I have various contradicting messages. Tracking bar on the top is at “pending”, order status is listed as “shipped out”, no tracking number on the page and also received a “shipped” email last Friday as stated above. So which one is it? Not hard to have everything coordinate, thing that erks me is that one the SAME PAGE, it shows contradicting info. Its like really? Cant even get the same page to agree with your info? Just not great IMO. I’m hoping its due to large volume and I do end up getting my package without issues but I’m not holding my breath anymore

Only time will tell but I’d like to know about my tracking and shipment

FYI Gearbest doesn’t give free tracking unless the order is $40, so if you only ordered one X3, you will not get a working tracking number…

I got a working tracking number and I ordered only one. That was the deal. Tracking now shows it arrived in my country.

It wasn’t part of the deal. The groupbuy specifically said tracking wasn’t included.

Must have forgotten I paid for tracking then :weary:

Status now shows shipped. Thank you!

Might be getting the two GBs confused. Pretty sure tracking was included with the X3 even at thelower price but thats another thread.

If tracking wasnt included with this deal then that doesn’t explain why the heck I got an email from GB INCLUDING a tracking number associated with THIS deal. If anything that just adds to the confusion.

@GearBest, ill PM you my order info after work. Sounds like its just a simple mix up or I am not understanding the location of various info on the email. No real worries, as long as it arrives ill behappy. Not like HK Post tracking works anyways, they are horrible at that stuff.

The XintD groupbuy specifically said tracking was not included. This groupbuy makes no mention of tracking. I ordered both groupbuys. I didn’t get tracking from either. I’m in the USA. If you are in another country, tracking might be free.

I also was confused after I got the email, because the reference number begins with HK and I first thought it is a tracking number.

But it is only a reference number which is not trackable.
Tracking for a 6$ light is unnecessary.

I just logged onto GB. Mine lights have shipped and have tracking numbers. The numbers aren't working yet.

EDIT: Fixed typo (bolded).

Yeah for me too. They changed something in the Matrix :smiley:

It isn’t a registered mail number.

Why use a reference number in the same format as HKPost tracking? Better yet, why use a reference number? Isnt our order number reference enough??

Opened up the two XinTD X3's just now, came today - perfect, outstanding condition - no different than my IOS X3 bought long ago. It has the most stout 18650 converter I ever gotten or saw. yes, the AA carrier is the cheap kind, and weird they soldered a copper-like spring on top of the Qlite driver spring, and I can confirm with certainty they do not have an AR lens. Typical bubble wrap bag in a avg thickness box, but maybe because there were two in one envelope, they survived better - dunno.

I hope these AAA lights are packed and arrive as well as the XinTD's did. Smile

Hahahahaha :bigsmile: .

@ GearBest
My order is still processing. I emailed your customer service 2 days ago, but got no response.

Can you help me out ?

you should not ass-u-me that a “reference” number = a tracking number

( esp on a $6 item)
