I did have good experience with Banggood and MyLED. Tracking from both was sketchy. Just my two cents
I haven’t had any problems with them at all. I’ve always got exactly what I’ve ordered, or been automatically refunded for items that ran out of stock (which has only happened to me once). I wouldn’t know if they have themselves or order from others, to me it makes no difference. They always seem to be a little more expensive than FastTech, but they seem to have a wider range of products so I still place orders with them from time to time.
I order from Sweden so I have no input on orders to US.
8 days ago(05-20-15) the order I placed on 05-18-15 from Fasttech said shipped, today(05-28-15) I find out that the package was accepted. That's the kind of garbage that happens regularly at Gearbest. I never thought I would see Fasttech pulling this kind of nonsense now.
Yeah I quit ordering from gearbest. I was racking up quite a bill with them too. Fasttech been good but some items took time to get, but always got what I ordered.
Gearbest used to be good with the deals. But when trying to make a deal with them for bulk items they wouldn’t even consider it. So many dealers around no reason to hassle with them over a few dollars.
I quite gearbest months ago after both of my only two orders ever with them took 60+ days each to get to the U.S.
Tmart is OK but has problems getting the order right. Last time I ordered a two cell C8 and received a one cell model. Not worth the hassle in my opinion.
I’m not exactly sure what you mean but I think this happens to me all the time on both dx and ft. Ft shipped one package to me with Singapore today and it will not show up on tracking for a few days? Happens all the time, give a take a few days. When ordering with free shipping you should never be in a hurry. 
Nope, I always pay the extra ~$1 for shipping. Takes over a month if I don't. Won't do that again.
As far as how the shipping goes from what I have experienced, on a good day, Make the order one day, next day it shows shipped, day after that it shows up on U.S.P.S. 90% of the orders I do turn out that way with them. Just recently they have been slowing down and giving incorrect shipping information. It seems to me though that recently when they show it shipped, it sits in a box and probably has to wait some days, sometimes a lot of days, until they fill the shipping quota, then it gets shipped out the door to the carrier.
I have been thinking we should start a thread on each dealers shipping standards. I started out buying all my flashlights from Solarforce. Their tracking is great. Order and within 48 hours you get their email order with tracking number. This doesn’t actually mean the order shipped, just that it is in the processing line. But usually it does get out of the factory in a day after the email, but tracking takes 2 days to finally pick up the tracking data. But once tracking data starts to show then I can predict to the day when it will show up. Usually 4 days from factory to NY customs, then 4 days from NY to my door. So I can get anything I want in 8 calendar days. Of course this doesn’t include batteries. But Since SPS expedited and Sweden Post are now shipping batteries I asked Solarforce to reconsider and start selling batteries to the US again.)
FashTech is much different. (Both orders I am describing have had at least 1 Battery in them so they were sent USPS expidited.) I get the order email, without a tracking number. Then a day or so later a second email marked shipped with the tracking number. Then everything goes dark for a number of days. sometimes 2 or 3 days. Then the tracking company shows electronic acceptance. Then dark again for 5 or 6 days. Then DHL shows accepting package in NJ and they drive it to My state where they turn it over to the USPS and then a couple more days to my door. About 20 days all in.
I’m tracking my first package with IOS. They shipped it PayPal Package (what ever that is) and so far it has taken 8 days from date of order to get to some unnamed airport in the US. I have no idea who picks it up from there or how long to my door.
It’s kind of funny that all these flashlight companies have such different delivery systems.
I love IOS. I bought a bunch of his $9.90 large fried eggs on a plate(MT-G2). For that price I feel like I stole them. Got them a few weeks later. I'm fulfilled. And happy.
Tried this company for a driver for an xhp50 Iam trying to build and their prices are good but I don’t know about their shipping times and they don’t gave a large quantity of parts just trying to give out some other optionshttp://www.lck-led.com/new-products.html
I never ordered from them (yet, lol) but i am mildly impressed with all the stuff i am finding that i want/need.
its not OPTIMUM… EG, the lasers/modules… not ALL the stuff i am looking for? but a decent amount… not too bad.
the ecig stuff is a decent selection too. i found vape liquid i HAVE to try, its so much for so cheap…
I even found a transmitter/receiver module i wanted…
the selection on all this stuff? its actually pretty decent… but with decent prices…
like i said? i am moderately impressed…
