Yeah, that's a good point _the_, seriously with all the reviews giving you so much more information + measurements both here and CPF, it makes reviews on DX/DD/MF look like a kindergarten book. :D
DinoDirect is good I my book. Thank you Summer for all you’re help and the great discounts.
ILF we’ve heard you rant in this thread and in other threads. I understand where your coming from. I also got the wrong batteries, I gave DD a chance to get it right and they did. Everyone makes mistakes, now its up to DD to learn from all of this. I hope you don’t get this fired up when you receive a wrong order at the McDonalds drive thru;-)
Mcdonalds screwed me way many times with my orders than any stores i've been to, online or bricks and mortars. :)
DD service is 10 times better, try to complain at mcdonalds (wow, all american company). They wanted me to pay for the barbeque sauce, wth.
Sorry i have to vent.
Lol
Ok maybe I'm overreacting here. They did give me a full refund. Well I should say they gave me 14 cents shy of a full refund since my order was $20.30 and they only credited back to my card $20.16. But what's 14 cents. Maybe I will decide later on to try and give them one more chance. Time will tell.
But I will stand by my first impression that I got from this company was not a good one.
Sorry for the inconvenience again, and the 14 cents may be due to the processing fee, thanks for your support and give us a chance to make improvement, if you want to order any product from our website, please contact me, and we will give you a gift card.
Hi again!
Received today a packet from DD.
Ordered 2 sets of 2 x Trustfire Flame PROTECTED 18650.
Got: 1 set of UN-protected TF-Flames, in blister pack with QA-sticker and hologram
1 set of Protected BUT Fake Trustfire flames, in blister pack, wothout hologram and in plastic bag with DD-Logos AND QA-sticker :)
With these I got two working UF-flashlights, will measure later, batts and torches. Batteries might be good, who knows. Will dispute only for wrong ones + faulty charger.
However, got also 2 pcs of cheap 2-bay 18650 chargers.
One was "intact" but other had a part loose inside.
Lucky me I did not plug it in to socket.
I will post pictures later.
For now, this pretty much tells everything:
love the picture 
Got through their Live Chat, but all the sudden the person on the other side stopped answering. Now just contacted Summer, he is the guy\lady? who usually helps everybody out here!
She is a girl, Ellen is her name 
Do you mean you got genuine protected cells i.e. what you had originally ordered? That's what I would call getting it right. I did the same, looking forward for what will be delivered...
Some pics of recent stuff:
The set without Ultrafires. Notice, that the quality is assured!
Hmmmm, something makes a rattle, could it be this plate? Where would YOU fix it into?
Lucky I did not plug it... Screw on left/bottom was nailed through the back, cannot be opened, fixed in permanently with "goo".
Batteries. Notice difference in lenght. Fonts are also veeery different. Very bad try to make look-a-likes.
Protected though, something right.
These two protected ones clocked
1861
1895
At 1A discharge from 4,17V down to 2,7V.
They offered me a $7 giftcard... wonder why not $9 like some others got here....anyway, I asked them to send me the right ones instead.
Why can be that? it should be considerably higher. May be they are sending old stock batteries?
Just fakes.
Correct. Protected but very obvious fakes (won´t complain about them, they still are protected as ordered).
The regulars, UN-protected clocked 2320-something and the other one 2200+ something mAh.
benckie just turned me on to this thread (obviously missed it, somehow). Have 2 prs. of said batteries arriving from DD.
If fake/unprotected, will contact Summer for resolution. If protected, will make that known as well!
Got a pair yesterday, protected, but look like fakes. Real is on the left, the new one I got is on the right.
Cycled them once and then ran a discharge test. Performance at 2A is terrible vs. the real thing (which are over a year old) or the Tenergy 2600's from the recent eBay deal.
Time to try Dino Direct CS. The UF-2100 I received in this order was also non-functional.
Those on the right side are the exact same fakes that I got.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a girl in china named Ellen ..That cracked me up ..:)
I hate to hear anyone getting the screws put to them Tim817 send me your address and i'll send you some free barbe-que sauce ...and I likeflashlights PM me your paypal and I'l send you 14cents :P
ellen ...that's a hoot
