Fasttech sent a wrong item but denies that

Imagine a vegetarian goes to a restaurant and orders a vegetarian meal. The waiter brings a steak and says “oops, if you keep it you can have a $2 discount”

That’s how I see this. You don’t want a CW flashlight + $2. You want a NW one and that’s the only acceptable resolution.

I will watch this thread closely and if you do not receive good treatment I will not buy anything from Fasttech again.

The Fasttech waiter would say: ” Sir, I talked to the supplier. And you don’t have a steak on your plate, it’s brown bleeding broccoli.”

Message Fasttech on here hes names Noel he should be able to fix it for ya.

Right after posting this thread I asked the user “fasttech” to tell their side of the story. I see that they were on the forum yesterday so I hope they’ll answer.

Yea like all Chinese companies some times things get lost in translation plus some times companies need a push. I find Fasttech usually have the best customer service for me personally.

I mean i am still waiting for Gearbest to send me my prize i won for last year self built contest lol its almost time for this years contest.

I think the ho3 is on the right ,
Because I can see it

Petr_Sixta · 2019-07-11T21:06:10.000Z

I have both CW and NW versions. The difference is very visible.

hodor · 2019-07-11T21:17:48.000Z

Disgusting. I’ve had this happen to me once before, from one of the smaller well known vendors who should’ve known better. Suffice to say that was the last time I ordered from them. I hope you ordered via PayPal and can claim a refund.

I ordered two AWT IMR 26660 4500 MAH batteries off ebay,
before I placed the order I asked if they were genuine, and he replied that he buys direct from them.
They arrived today and do not have the security stickers.
Charging them up, but I bet they won’t run Turbo in the Rofis MR-70, which is a true test of a high drain battery.
Typical

Dunno how much the light goes for or what percentage 2bux might be, but part of the problem is that to >99% of the world, you explain NW vs CW and they’ll just roll their eyes like you’re a nut. “White is white”, and a slightly different shade makes zero difference to them.

Wanna get pist off, get this…

I order a desk thermometer from a seller on AX. Normally, you order a brick and it’ll arrive mummified in 1lb of bubblewrap and clear packing tape that takes a half-hour to unravel. These geniuses instead stuffed the big-glass-displayed thermometer into a ziplock bag with 1 sheet of paper-thin “foam”, and into a form-fitting plain stretchy-plastic envelope. Zero protection for the huge glass face. And of course it’s cracked, and a third of the display is filled with LC “ink”.

Message after message after message goes unanswered. I finally put in for a dispute, pointing out all of the above, with pix.

Seller’s counteroffer? 0 refund, 0 replacement.

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

Anyhoo, what about explaining your pressing need for NW, for color accuracy, how you need a NW light for your job, whatever your reasons?

Macka17 · 2019-07-12T02:11:19.000Z

Regardless of shade.
If it the one on left I’d be flogging it
It’s a shit looking beam regardless of colour.
and buying another of the ones on right,
At That range from the board.

I’d just be opening a complaint with Paypal.
They’d call us too fussy but.
I go for 5000ish every time too.

You the one paying for it. and THEY did give you a choice.

avservice · 2019-07-12T12:37:07.000Z

I have had a few items in my cart with them and just dropped the idea.

This is not on you at all and I am not sure why they think they should presume that it is?

Jack_Kellar · 2019-07-12T16:42:23.000Z

Yeah, crossing off Fasttech from my store list for the foreseeable future.

CJ_Avlis · 2019-07-13T12:51:43.000Z

FastWho?? They wouldn’t know customer service if it walked up and bit em in the face.

mortuus · 2019-07-14T12:09:27.000Z

IF they cant manage to send out correct tint to customers, whats the point having multiple then? it shouldnt be a gamble if u get cool white or not… they suck then.

Agro · 2019-07-15T08:26:00.000Z

I just got a response:

Since the difference between Neutral White and Cool White is very small, so it’s difficult to find out the item is cool or neutral if there is no comparesion. We have contacted the supplier to double checked issue with the video and pictures you provided, the item you received should be Cool White, our supplier made a mistake that offered us a wrong one. We apologize for the trouble and mistake caused. Please accept our deeply apology.

Would you like us to refund or reship the correct item to you? If you need us to resend, we will test firstly then ship to make sure you will receive the correct one. Please trust, we will do our best to help you fix the issue as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and patience in this case. We do really appreciate.

I asked them to ship me a NW one.

hodor · 2019-07-15T09:25:13.000Z

There’s no need to test, it’s clearly labelled on the box!

Oh well, hope you get what you ordered

mortuus · 2019-07-15T11:07:56.000Z

lame excuse… even if maker labeled the lights wrong its their responsibilty that customer gets correct tint…

and its obvious on the pic that its a cool white.

Lightbringer · 2019-07-15T15:52:52.000Z

Soooooo… rather’n a stinking 2bux, they’re gonna ship you a 2nd light for free?

Damn, wish people’d make that mistake with me more often.

hank · 2019-07-15T16:36:01.000Z

Yeah, I bought an “amber LED” light from them a while back and got “warm white” instead.
Basically they don’t know what they’re selling, they’re just passing orders they collect on to whoever’s shipping whatever.

Well, yah, especially if you can get everything from dtp boards, to vape juice, to plant seeds, to naughty s3x t0ys, and all sorts of other stuff, all in the same order. Kinda like Omni Consumer Products…
