Latest model Jetbeam BC40 from Dinodirect!

Latest model Jetbeam BC40 from Dinodirect that was shipped to me on January 8th, then not shipped on January 8th, shipped on January 14th, not shipped on January14th, back to shipped on January 8th as per Summer (depending on her/his mood)

Ordered on Dec 14. After many different stories from DD customer service and Summer I still haven't got the light!

This version is a lot more colorful than the original...

Lol! You are lucky it is not the infamous red lip phone!

youre lucky youre getting 2 bc40s

I am sure they did not ship anything. They probably send you random photos to give the impression of some activity with your order so you won't file a claim with Paypal.

Yeah, more compact and easier to carry..

Now there's a pocket rocket!

I don't know how they manage to mess the photos... On an order of mine, I got a photo showing only one of the two flashlights I ordered, yet, I received both...

After I received the order, I checked my box side to side with the one on the photo, and the photo really was showing exactly the box I received (same marks, same scratches, same sticker position). So, it seems they actually take pictures of each order and not using the same product pic in a basket for all matching orders.

Also, I received my order and only a week later, it changed its status to "shipped".

Another thing that I noticed was that the boxes weren't in perfect shape, they looked used and both my lights had a small dent each (one of them also needed a little manual work to stop on/off switch from sticking on clicked position and a little WD40 on the magnetic ring to stop feeling like it is scratching its interiors). So I wonder, could it be that DD sells factory seconds or RTM? Anyone else noticed imperfections on DD lights?

I also have noticed the quality of the merchandize and wondered about them being seconds too...

Actually i got often random junk photos from other items and then recieved the right thing. 1st tought was: Oh my, again some dinosaur disgruntled employee but then i realized it must mass woking = higher chance for mixups.

The scariest tought would be paying customs fee, then recieving a totally unrelated and heavily unwanted/useless item item.

This is supposed to be dual 504B R5 1 mode with a pack of 20mm o-rings.

I don't believe these are mix-ups at all. It looks like deliberate, but I can't name the motive behind it without a doubt. However, I do have some thoughts on why they are doing this. One thing is for certain- people at Dino Dung has a problem giving you the facts.

Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience, your item was sent out on Jan 8th when you asked me to check, there might be a problem of our auto-email system on Jan 14th to send you another one. But please do not worry, if you do not get the item for a long time, you can directly contact with our customer service, and we will give you reasonable response.

Well I am sorry to hijack your thread but I am having the same problem, but have not been as lucky as you. My Torch has not even made it to the 'magic basket of random cack' yet!

I have just had an email telling me that it is back in 'out of stock' for the third time! WTF!

So Summer please look into this for me

Where is it, in or out of stock? spin the Dino wheel of fortune cookies.

Going to take my tablets now

Marc.

Well... Summer,

First you told me it was shipped on January 8Th. Then, when I got the photo of the wrong item I contacted you by PM. Please see below the PM you sent me:

................................................................................................................

Dear Mathew,

How are you ?I am back in my office .

I have helped you check your order 7510X532-DD has been shipped out in Jan 13th,so I cannot help you add the tracking number now .But your order 9D300768-DD,this order rest item was shipped out ,tracking number is RC081148548HK,and you can track your order on the following sites for more detailed..

........................................................................................

Your PM has nothing to do with auto email system, right? So please do not give me another change of story now I have had enough of all your BS.

You had no intention of shipping this item from the first place. The item was showing in stock from the day I placed the order on December14th. I got every order I placed after this from you and other Chinese vendors, so how come only this one is still missing? How come this is the only order where you and DD live chat changed the story back and forth MANY times?

You should not offer discounted prices just to attract traffic at your site when you have no intention of shipping the item at that price. You probably have no problem changing your story back and forth as it suit you, but that is not what normal people do. When normal people find this out they start avoiding you.

Please do not give me any other version of your story. It is just a flashlight and I have many of those already. I do not care if I get this or not- I am not even worried about a refund- losing $40 is not the end of the world for me. However, I am fed up of doing business transactions with Dino Dung.

I have had it with them taking forever to ship. I am sick of CN"qualiy"goods as well. Two of the 4 light I have received from them have not worked when I received them, and "Ric" stopped answering my emails. I still have faith in Manafont.

I have no problem with anyone taking any length of time to ship, but I do not like them being dishonest. It is impossible to get a direct answer from DD live chat. It usually goes like this:

.........................................................................

Do you have the item in stock?

Don't worry, it is a nice light. it will be shipped soon.

But, do you have the light in stock or not?

Don't worry we will do our best to ship everything fast.

But, please tell me if you have the item in stock. If you have it in stock why haven't you shipped it after three weeks of taking the order? It still shows as in stock at your website.

Don't worry, we will take care of everything.

.............................................................................................

Then you get messages like "your item was shipped on the 2nd", "no, your item was shipped on 28th"-- "no, your item was really shipped on the 15th" .. "wait a minute, it was shipped on the 42nd of March 1956...."

It is this kind of business practice I am sick of...

The item (RC081148548HK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 27-Jan-2012

You should get it.

Just file a Paypal claim right away.

What exactly are we talking about??
