Shame on DinoDirect [was: "Ummm.... Anybody recognize this beamshot?"]

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath, something that people in general go to jail for here. What has the U.S. robbed from Croatia?

i think is super funny WHY ??

its really an actual beam shot !! its somewhat semi kinda legitimate ! which is worse a fake or "borrowed real"image ?

i am still up for the deals but doing legitimate business

the whole problem is people dont like bad ethics and bad customer service

( i had more but it got clipped somehow )

@ gorann

i think you comments above are very funny but the clinton thing ...

i see what your saying, people have to ask themselves what ELSE was going on during Monica and OJ time (forgot what else prolly MJ or Madonna lol ) , this dominated the news and was simply a side show. distracting people from important events , media slight of had...

If Dinodirect would take their own pictures rather than using unauthorized pictures taken by others there would be no problem. You know, actually take pictures yourself of your own products and let actual customers write their own review of products that they actually bought from you.

You don't need to apologize for our inconvenience. It's not inconvenient. It's just dishonest. That's all.

Good thing the Americans are making an attempt to hold these companies accountable because if we left it up to the Croatians I might receive a bikini instead of a flashlight

I kid, I kid. It's all good gorann :) But maybe have a little more respect for the Americans here.. many of whom have graciously given up their time to assist you (and the rest of us) in your quest for more lumens.

Did any of you poster in this board place an order from DD and NOT received it, OR received a fake item?

Well, i placed around 20 orders with ridiculous low prices (after coupon, dinopoints, giftcards, exploits...) from them and all came in good condition and appear to be well made.

So I'm not complaining. The descriptions is mostly wrong on their items anyways, what worst a pictures make?

I believe they are legit seller. At least they honor all my ridiculous orders and shipped, unlike focalprice didn't honor its online price and canceled my order.

Lighten up folks :)

Budget Light Forum , meet Dino Direct

How "real" is that photo of your stuff prior to shipping?

Budget soap opera?

Pick it c'mon...

I hope you didn't think i'm working for DD.

For me, quite real. I've bought two Sunwaymans M10A in two orders. The second order was made two weeks after the first one and included some other things. All what I've ordered was nicely photographed, without any signs of fake photos. Photographing items prior to shipping becomes more and more popular and not only DD do this.

Its a great way to help document what was and wasn't included in orders. How much this helps from a dispute point of view I'm not sure on, but I'm sure it might help.

No , no , no tim817 .

My comment wasn't directed at you sir , my comment was directed to anyone who wasn't aware of Dino Direct's business practices until now .

These guys are out to make a buck , just like everyone else . They are going to use any means they can to do so . Even if it means stealing pictures , ignoring patents , or any other kind of intellectual property theft .

The group buy thing seems to be working out just fine for most .

Interesting thread...

I used a beamshot from fonorevka.ru for this

hahaha :D

i think that the people who are upset about DD using brted's photo without permission are upset not just because it is wrong or unethical, but because it is a very personal form of disrespect to BLF and its members. What does it say about DD's opinion of the folks on this forum that they would use the property of a forum member without at least offering the common courtesy of asking for permission or giving credit. All they had to do was ask for permission and I'm sure brted would have allowed the use of the photo, or barring that, DD should have at least given credit where credit was due. But they offered neither. It's very personal to have something you worked on be used without permission or credit, especially when it turns out the stolen item is to be used to make money and by someone you sort of know. Maybe it wouldn't have been as outrageous if DD had never bothered trying to improve it's rep on BLF, but to say that they want to improve their rep and to then go and steal from a member, it's very personally disrespectful.

+1 ^

In spite of gorann's rambling speeches, I still feel the same way about DD today, as I did yesterday...

gorann. you accuse American members here of being self centered. the truth is that you yourself are being extremely judgmental and self righteous in making those accusations. when someone basically says, "stop crying you bunch of babies," that's just another way of saying, "i've had it worse, and i don't cry, so you shouldn't cry either." but what do you know about the lives of the other members here? anything? do you think all Americans are rich and arrogant and self centered? please stop with your presumptuous and judgmental nonsense.

as for my previous post, i was trying to provide a possible explanation why some of the member responses were so harshly anti-DD. my personal view is that it's brted's photo and if he doesn't care, i don't care either.

gorann, with just 5 words, I may sum-up your recent posts in this thread; you just don't get it! Laughing
