trying to sell a few of my custom made phosfor-bronze springs

Oh no! that's me being stingy . No , really sorry about that, must have miscounted them, I owe you a beer when you come to Amsterdam! On the other hand I'm glad that the mail seems to work :-)

Waiting in the mail box this evening :beer:

In Chinese

You: I only received 29 springs instead of 30.

China: We show your item was mailed 11/02/2014. Please do not worry.

You attempt to communicate issue again.

China: Please check mailbox for item.

You :expressionless: and reword issue.

China: Please ask post office if they have item.

You :expressionless: and reword issue.

China: We will check on the issue. Please do not worry.

(a week passes)

You: Hello??

China: It may have be sent in a separate shipment. Please do not worry.

You :weary: It was one, single spring! It would not be in a separate shipment.

You :frowning: :~ :expressionless: |( Stop Running Me Around And Just Gimme Credit For It Now!

China: We have update the product description to 29 phosr broze copper springs - good bounce. Sorry for the confusion. :slight_smile:
[[Ticket closed]]

That sounds uncomfortable.

I’ll take 20. Sending pm

Edit , oops.

With enough beers,don’t feel it,and it’s a big mailbox :beer: :beer:

I counted the ones leftover (=not my talent so it appeared :-( ) and I happen to have gotten 208 springs instead of 200, so I could get you those 8 if you like :-)

Sure, just let me know what to do.

I have just put the springs for bugsy36, Fritz-T-Cat, Rufusbduck, prisma and zeremefico in the mail, let's hope they arrive, and soon!

One worrying observation: I should have 20 springs leftover for myself (this is including the spring I failed to send to L4M4), but I count 21.....

lol yeah it’s close

:smiley: hahahah. Oh well. As L4M4 said, FULL REFUND. :wink: Maybe it’s a good thing you aren’t actually in the parts fulfillment business, eh?

All jokes aside, counting parts is a tough task. I read this article a couple of years ago and found it engaging: “SMALL PARTS COUNTING AND BAGGING DEVICE” via Ohio University. In case there is not a European analog to this, the organization referred to as Tri-State Industries in the article is (I assume) a holder of a Special Minimum Wage Certificate.

On a related note, my springs came in today. 5 days in transit, I’m impressed! I received all 10. :wink:

:smile: I enjoyed reading that too, thanks! I will have to get me one of those if I continue this kind of sales

No springs for me yet :frowning:

My springs arrived today thank you!

I got mine today.
All OK.
Thanks!!!

I got mine today. Very nice, but the springs I needed today were for an AAA size light, so I braided the originals as usual. Very nice that BLF have our own parts now. The light I worked on today has a 10 mm. driver laid out by a BLF member. One or two of the springs will greatly improve my next larger light.

Got mine today, thanks Djozz. These are the heftiest in my stash. Can’t wait to try them out. Have to but don’t want to. Wait that is.

Some left-over?

The counting bit is a bit confusing (or am I the only one)? If still possible, I would like to buy 5pc from you. I’ll PM you.

Hello, do you have any springs left to sell ?
