No More Buying From Manafont For Me

I put Manafont on my list of bad sellers with Dino-Direct. They will not get anymore of my business.

Buyer Beware!

That's kind of a strange post. Care to enlighten us?

I've an issue with a fenix light some time ago, but Jim eventually sorted it for me. Most people seem to regard them as reputable.

I agree. What point is it to bash a company telling other to be leary, with no story to be told….
Obviously its up to the reader to decide but come on man.

Well I’m mad right now and don’t want to go into all the specifics, but I won’t do business with them again. I no longer trust them. And I will take my money and spend it elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that from you. My TF 26650s flames (3) all came in good quality so I can’t really complain. But yea there’s tons of reports of manafont just like you. I Wonder what their ebay positive feedback would be?

Manafont was good in the beginning, when Jim was here trying to “catch” customers and make them happy with manafont….

Now is a complete sh… look my post of the never received order and the “solutions” given to me….

Yes, they continue shipping the orders in the next day after payment, as normal…. but, their “policies” and “customer service”…. no comments

Link? I saw was 3 post about suggest me manafont batterries and please delete thread.
So a bunch of people abused the free registered mail for shopping over 20 dollars and demanding some sort of compensation for buying overpriced items. Such as a WF 501b for 42 when it’s on sale for 24 then asking for difference? etc… Don’t they send their stuff USPS style with tracking numbers?

I told you they wouldn’t do anything!! Horrible CS!!!

Oh dear, just ordered a zy-t08 to test manafont out……guess I’m going to be disappointed. :expressionless:

If you have a problem with Manafont, spit it out. You can’t just go around slagging someone in the forums without an explanation. Just being able to go around slinging mud would open the forums to retail WWIII. I have never purchased from Manafont so I’m impartial in this matter, but I think throwing around allegations of wrongdoing with no support is like a cheap political attack. If you had a problem, you are quite welcome to chronicle it here, but an unsupported statement is just a baseless attack ad.

I got my T08 with no problems… The problem with Manafont is if you have a problem they will ignore you and not do anything to help out!!!

i stopped buying from MF a long time ago. see my sig, i support DD and DX. whatever i need i can find there. MF has higher prices and their after-sales service isnt the best.

I’m guessing this has not been resolved to satisfaction.

That's if you missed his other recent post. (here). edit: oops... gords beat me by 1 minute.

And there may be some other history with Manafront. I don't know... just saying.

Too bad for me. I just started an account with Mana.

I’m guessing it’s about the second ZY-T08 he received

My money is on this being all about them refusing to offer an acceptable resolution.

Never had an issue with Manafont. Have some items in the pipeline from them, so we´ll see.

Honestly I never really had a problem with them except for the time I tried ordering the SRK mimic, which they did credit me the amount I paid.

Maybe I’m just lucky everytime I order stuff from them, yes? They’re okay on my book. Just my 2 cents. :wink:

Well I’ll make it short and sweet, but I got it worked out. Paypal was part to blame but they heard a ear full from me. The TK35 clone I received as you guys well know by now looked like someone hit it with a grinder on the top of tube on the inside by the head. Now some folks that wouldn’t bother, but I buy flashlights to collect and keep looking for the most part like brand spankin new. If I wanted a used light, I would have bought one. So for the ones that say that this wouldn’t bother just remember your not me. Don’t mean that smart either, so don’t take it any other way. Anyway I filed a dispute with Paypal and escalated to a claim because I was told they won’t do anything and ignore you. So your basically talking in the wind. Well Paypal decided in my favor with the picture I showed them, but they wanted me to ship the light back at my expense and include a tracking #. Now any idiot would know that the cheapest it will cost to send that light back with a tracking # to Hong Kong is around $16. That’s over half of the cost of the light. Now why should I be money out of my pocket when before I ordered this light I wasn’t out of any money. I plainly told Manafont to send me a scratch free light for the most part in so many words. Now I don’t analyze my flashlights with a magnifying glass, but I do expect a nice quality new looking light when that’s what I was supposed to be buying. So I call Paypal and tell them this was totally unacceptable. I tell them what I just stated above, and told them even a idiot wouldn’t fall for that deal. They finally agreed and are reimbursing my shipping cost to my account. But I do have to show them proof of a tracking # via email in so many days. They may be doing this at Manafont’s expense I would only guess. Trust me this isn’t the first time they have received a complaint about them.

But all this could have been unavoidable had they sent me what I ordered in the first place. So I will gladly take my money and spend it with other folks who will hopefully listen to their customers and provide them with like new products. Anyway I will get all of my money back to spend it some place else.

Now, doesn’t that feel better getting that off your chest?
