Received a defective light from Amazon, sent back with return label, they made me pay $5.64 for return shipping, emailed and asked why, they responded with an offer of $5 coupon or $3 returned to credit card, emailed back that I wanted the whole amount refunded, responded with a coupon for $10 and I took it.

What is going on with all the shenanigans? Where are all these random numbers coming from?

Be careful to choose the right reason for the return … defective product should have no return fee plus they pick up freight…… “I don’t like it” they may make you pay to return….

I used item broken or not working for return.

I just tried return/refund claim for Defective and broken/damaged parts. Got return label and the note that there will be a 20% restocking fee in addition to the return shipping cost. Cancel the return request. Start all over and looked for the Amazon a-z guarantee claim, but couldn't find it despite the following : To file an A-to-z Guarantee Claim on an eligible order:

Go to Your Orders.

Locate your order in the list and click File/View Claim.

Select a reason code to describe your issue.

Select Request refund through A-to-z Guarantee. <=== NO

Enter the required information and select Submit

Problem is I don't see "Select Request refund through A-to-z Guarantee." Is the a-z guarantee applies after return process is completed?

Amazon has a knife sale Morakniv. I don’t know how to post links. Bought one for $9ish

ImA4Wheelr · 2018-03-10T12:04:25.000Z

Just saw this posted by Andybibbville in the main Deal Alerts thread. $47 for a MF01 clone or something. Since no discussion is allowed in that thread, thought I would open it up for discussion here. Have no idea if it is legit.

It looks like most of the Thorfire lights on Amazon are available with some sort of discount or coupon deal right now.

eas · 2018-03-10T21:25:57.000Z

It looks like the seller of that MF01-like light recently started selling an S41-like light too. Also, they were selling an S42-like light recently, but the listing now shows the light is unavailable right now because Amazon pulled the listing due to poor customer feedback. From the handfull of reviews, it looks like some people got lights that were DOA and/or didn’t match the listing.

On the other hand it’s $47, with Prime next day shipping, so you’ll know quickly… I was a long way from spending $50 on a light, but I’m tempted…

What do you search for to find them once they return?

This is the withdrawn listing for the S32-like light.

Got the 911-L1 today. As others have reported in freeme's Group Buy thread, it seems to be the real deal. The reason I'm posting about it here and not in freeme's thread is that it seems kind of rude to discuss a competing deal in a group buy thread. I have nothing against freeme or his group buy. He's a great member and offers great deals.

The light seems to be every bit as high quality as the MF01 I purchased from joker145. I haven't measured lumens yet because the light doesn't fit my integrating tube. It's got the 2 LED leads that the second version has. The bezel may be thread locked. I couldn't get it open with 2 strap wretches, but it's late and I'm tired.

As l have posted in another thread about the 911, l chatted with a friend in Mateminco (the makers of the Astrolux MF series) and he confirms that they made it at the request of a businessman who has an Amazon store. He purposely lost money on the the first few deals in exchange for maximum exposure of his store.

That’s why it’s as good as the Matemincos.

moderator007 · 2018-03-16T04:00:37.000Z

The 911 does’t seem to be on sale for $47 anymore.

Yep, showing $107 for me

Edit, now $109.95

moderator007 · 2018-03-16T04:15:38.000Z

Well that’s just my luck :confounded: .
I was about to jump all over this until I got to the amazon page. :person_facepalming:

southland · 2018-03-16T06:29:34.000Z

Received the Amazon version of MF01, same exact light.

sochi111 · 2018-03-16T23:48:19.000Z

Not sure if this is good deal for a modable host/flashlight, but
Today they have Anker LC40

price is 15.99

The Bad:
Battery is not removable
Modes are H/M/L/blink/SOS/

Good:
From reviews on BLF, seems like it used to be a AAA light, now “built-in 3350mAh rechargeable battery”
-LED is XP-G2

IP65-rated, don’t see many lights with this rating.

leaftye · 2018-03-17T00:32:14.000Z

What is the link? IP65 is good for a camera, but not what I want to see for a flashlight.

IP65 Enclosure - IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against water projected from a nozzle. IP66 Enclosure - IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water. IP 67 Enclosures - IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against immersion.

The old version was quite different indeed. I have one. It can run on 3xAAA or an 18650. It’s actually a pretty decent light for $10 that I paid for it, but $10 will also get you a Convoy s2+ which is even better.

Here is the link to the old LC40: Amazon.com
