wow lightmall

So I ordered 2 jingkong icr 26650 batteries and after 5 weeks they sent me 2 jingkong inr instead with a mah of 2600 instead of 4000mah
Id heard they was kingkong cells that’s why I ordered them, so I was expecting a lot better, anyhow imo I think im entitled to my money back or the proper ones sent to me

Anyhow here’s my 2 and half hour live chat, which btw was on my phone, talk about tedious

Am I being unreasonable?

Hi
Sunny Yang 08:11:06
hi

does the battery work ?

peter 08:11:37
Only 2600mah and its not the batteries I ordered
Sunny Yang 08:13:17
ICR and INR are important to you ?
peter 08:13:34
Yes
Sunny Yang 08:14:01
but they’re almost the same

can you keep it ?

I’ll offer discount to you , then you can buy new ones /

okay ?

peter 08:15:00
No I don’t want it its not what I ordered and its well well below mah capacity
Sunny Yang 08:18:15
if so, you need to send it back

but I don’t think it’s worth to send it back

so how about take the discount ?

peter 08:21:01
If I send back you will have to pay shipping as its your fault youve sent a completely different product or ill open a PayPal dispute

I just want what I ordered
U there

Hello why no answer

Sunny Yang 08:35:14
hi

how much is the shipping cost for send it back ?

peter 08:36:19
Be about $15 to $20

You sent me the wrong batteries completely not my fault

Hello this is taking an unnecessary amount of time

Shell I just open a dispute with PayPal

You there

Hello

I’ll wait 2 more mins then im opening a dispute making me wait like this is very unprofessional

Im putting this chat on budgetlightforum I’ll make sure no one orders from you again this is shocking behavior making me wait fir ages for your replys

Sunny Yang 09:12:22
hi friend

I’m so sorry for late reply

peter 09:12:51
Hi
Sunny Yang 09:13:17
so sorry for late reply

have you opened dispute with paypal ?

please don’t post negative feedback on BLF ,okay ?

peter 09:15:32
Just about to open dispute I only want what I ordered

Sunny Yang 09:16:19
please stop it ,

I’ll offer discount for half of the price to you , then you buy new ones , okay ?

peter 09:19:17
So ive got to pay another $9 to get what I originally ordered you cant be serious

Sunny Yang 09:20:51
No , you should pay 13.50/2 +4.55

any news ?

peter 09:25:05
I cant except that why should I pay more
Sunny Yang 09:25:45
if so , what do you want to do
peter 09:26:06
I either want full refund or the batteries I ordered is that unreasonable

Sunny Yang 09:26:57
but if full refund , you need to send it back, it’ll take much time ,

peter 09:27:22
But thats not my fault

Why should I suffer for YOUR mistake

If I open paypal dispute I will get full refund anyhow

Sunny Yang 09:28:28
I know , so I don’t need to send back , we will offer discount for 50% off , at last you can get 4pcs battery

peter 09:29:33
Surly that’s just the same as you sending me the 2 batteries I ordered

Sunny Yang 09:30:18
I’ll send the right ones to you

if you can pay for it

peter 09:30:22
Why is this such an issue for a big company you sent me the WRONG THINGS you have to put it right

Sunny Yang 09:31:22
how much discount you can accept except full refund /

peter 09:32:07
Lol I don’t want discount I just want what I ordered

You would want paying if I had some of your goods

I just want what ive payed for

These batteries you sent are junk id never ever use them

So im basically $20 down no batteries and ive wanted ages

Sunny Yang 09:35:04
ok

I’ll resend 2pcs to you , but you need to pay for shipping cost

peter 09:35:37
How much

Sunny Yang 09:37:47

peter 09:38:23

Yes that’s correct email
Hi

U still there

Sunny Yang 10:12:23
hi

I saw you leave a negative feedback on our website

I have agreed resend a new one for free, why you still do that

peter 10:15:49

I done it before we spoke

Hi

Lets be clear and I don’t mean to be rude you haven’t sent me 1 free because ive already paid for it I don’t mean to be rude or come across as rude but your not doing me any favors as I said ive ALREADY paid you

How can I remove my review can you do it

Can we get to a conclusion about this as its been over 2 hours and im typing all this on my phone

Sunny Yang 10:25:49
ok, it doesn’t matter ,

peter 10:27:24
So whats happening

Sunny Yang 10:28:06
don’t worry , we will send it to you next week

peter 10:28:55
Ok so I will get an email on with tracking in Monday I assume

On monday

My Lord, what is wrong with chinese sellers?
(not all, not always, but this seems so typical again…)

Just send him what he ordered and eat your loss, which was your own fault in the first place! FTW?!?
You apparently prefer he open this topic…?

But it seems too late for that now…
Still time for a PP case?
You could let them deal with it.

2 and half hours all that took
Shocking imo

There sending me 1 battery out

So instead of 2 ive only got 1 and by the time it gets here it will be probably 10 weeks waiting

“Buying with confidence” :\

Good luck.
I’ve ordered six different items from Lightmalls and not a single one was what I ordered. This store is worse than the plague.

That is bad, will definitely be my one and only order

hmm… you make me want to check my orders now…I thought it was Kingkong that’s why I order it |(

I just realized what I order was in fact INR 26650 batteries ( my fault for not double checking it :_( )… but the ones that says ICR 26650, they using the real picture of kingkong battery … WTF… bait and switch

My jinkong INR was rated 3233 mAh :Sp

Wow. I know there’s a language barrier but still…

Yes I also thought it would be king kong, my keeppower which have king kong cells get nearly 4300mah

These iNR which was meant to be icr only get 2600 and ive tested twice on both batteries, definitely not king kong cells

Take a screen shot (Alt + Screen Print) of the ad/product page in case you need it for a Paypal dispute.

ive just done that thanks, there meant to be sending me ONE ICR battery, don’t know why i suggested that, but i dont think they will even send it
they was acting like it was a $200 item, just couldn’t grasp that i didn’t want a few dollars refund i just wanted what i ordered, i even paid $5 shipping

You’re better off just buying real King Kong cells. Asking for the proper jing kong cell is like asking for a proper/replacement Ultrafire cell.

i have, i brought 2 last week of fasttech

Sadly this is actually the typical run around that comes from Lightmalls.

They have a couple of drivers that they have that I love or I wouldn’t order from them at all. Even then I have problems from them and it’s always a fight trying to get them to do the right thing. I have spent days and days dealing with their runaround.

Nothing wrong with the seller, just an arrogant self-righteous UK buyer !

A bit of both perhaps :slight_smile:

So they covered you, and you still post on BLF?

+1

Dazed dont act as thick as the 2 posters before you, how am I covered? Ive paid for 2 batteries they have sent the wrong ones, ive waited nearly 6 weeks to

So them not replying to my emails for nearly a week, and then taking 2 and half hours on live chat to agree to send me ONE not the TWO ive paid for ( which ive still had no email or confirmation that there even sending anything)

I suppose you’d be happy with that? And consider that good practice Yes, no

There is nothing at all wrong with posting this. It’s a heads up to show exactly what you can expect when having to deal with their customer service. This is the exact same runaround that they have given me on more than one occasion. In fact it’s the only type of response I have ever gotten from them when THEY mess something up.

As I said earlier I still order from them but only because they have a couple of drivers that I can’t find anyplace else. But that they even managed to mess up on my last order. Also as the OP states they are SLOW, like old time China shipping slow.

I am not saying that people shouldn’t order from Lightmalls. What I am saying is that if you do you should be aware of these problems. The OP does us a service by sharing his experience and I thank him for doing so. Was it also a rant? Sure but so what? I don’t see anything wrong with him getting it off his chest.

One of the few rules on this site is that we are asked to be polite to other members. I would ask that people please show this guy the same respect you would show to any other member regardless of the amount of times they have posted here. Being rude to relative noobs is a great way of getting them to leave this forum and with them goes their valuable experience. We were all noobs once and just look how fast most of us became members who add all kinds of knowledge to this forum.

Thanks for posting gouldy and I hope that nobody here has scared you away. We are generally a very polite bunch of people who are as helpful as we can be.
