Thanks for the reply ‘JakeDjanitor’, I appreciate it. And please don’t think I was just singling you out, cause that was not the case. I just read your post and then several replies with tales of woe from others… That along with many other threads I’ve read before about other people’s bad experiences with different dealers half way around the world and I just had to ask.
Hope your stuff shows up before long ……… 
No problem, no offense taken, don’t get me wrong I have been able to purchase some great items at a great price from over seas. But when I make my purchase normally I expect it to take time, but the time is worth the savings. Like $25 Olight s30 on a presale. Or 4 ncr18650b 3400 mah for $18 shipped. They have loads to choose from and prices are truly low many times. Not all times.
To be honest I will continue to purchase when I see a deal I cannot pass on, but only if I can wait until it is in. I ordered because convoy had them in stock and said estimated 10-15 days I would not have ordered if I thought they too would take over 30 days.
But anyhow, I think if you see a great deal. Hop on it, just use PayPal. Most purchases will come in. It’s just a long wait at times. And at times products are wrong or broken haha it can test your patience at times.
I have made two ordered from mtnelectronics and they come in in a few days. They are packed so perfectly and carefully. The shop just does not have as much as banggood or fast tech, ( how could he?) but for flashlights he carries, and flashlight modding, ( just started) I am now preferring to order from them. They are top notch.
My 2 packets got stuck in Sweden…one for 3 weeks, second 2 weeks so far….worst post ever. Also Sweden tends to lost your luggage when travelling by plane. BEWARE!
I ordered 3 deep carry clips from Convoy”s Aliexpress store, took nearly 90 days to arrive & are still showing as being in China according to the tracking :person_facepalming:
I am hoping nothing got lost… =/
I also ordered two of those with the order, the way he has stuff listed saying e-packet deliver 10-15 days is complete nonsense.
just because you choose a certain method, he will decide which one he ships in the end.
OK batteries need Sweden post. fine. But don’t change my e-packet flashlight delivery to Sweden post !
I want to simply just cancel and refund order. But who knows where it all is.
The long shipping time had nothing to do with Simon (Convoy) in my case as he despatched the clips within a few days, it was down to the carrier.
It is my only experience with Aliexpress & is the longest delivery time I have ever experienced from China to the UK.
Normally items take 2-3 weeks using GearBest, BangGood, Everbuying etc although Chinese New Year messed up two orders from GearBest, one lost & re-shipped after waiting 60 days after shipping & one will be declared lost next week unless it turns up (again 60 days after being shipped) & be re-shipped.
why is it that things get lost, I pay tracking, and many times tracking does not work.
I didn”t pay tracking.
At the end of the day if the matter isn”t sorted out there is always paypal to reimburse you.
Lights came in today! But the batteries were not in package…. Front said it contain lion. But no cells inside. I messaged Simon, I would like the batteries canceled, I will be ordering from another source.
