Recieved my 2 copper, thanks Nitro, they are :+1: :+1:
Now to see if I have the rest of the goodies to get started
Sent payment 8/28 and have not received the 4 aluminum heatsinks. No replies to PM since 9/16
No tracking given.
Anyone else having a problem here?
Nick
I did not receive mine initially. After about 2 weeks I PM’d and he said he would re-ship. I got it delivered about 4 days after that.
I did exactly the same 2 weeks in, with same reply. I still have nothing.
I would be interested in 2 aluminum.
YES! I ordered and a week or so later I recv’d paypal notice that a shipment was being made. That tracking number sat in limbo for a week. It was just a notice that a label had been made but the package was never delivered to the post office. It took a couple / three days to get a response from Nitro. He said he would reship another that day and give a tracking number. That was 5 days ago. No tracking number sent, no nothing! It is getting to be ridiculous. Starting to look like kiriba-ru in Russia could be quicker.
I understand people can have unexpected emergencies. However, a quick note along the lines of… “I am sorry, I ran into some problems……” would go a long ways to keep the natives from getting restless, if you know what I mean.
I ordered copper from kiriba-ru after here. Order received a while back AND I made a second order which should arrive in a few days according to the tracking I received from Kiriba.
I knew from PM’s I am not the only one but really surprised I was the first to speak up.
Still waiting on my package that I payed for on September 1st. It is now Oct. 4th. There has been very poor communication and no proof of shipping. I PM’d every once and a while and did not get replies except to one with “I’ll look into it”. No follow up or answers since then.
I am new here I took a risk and based on Nitro’s threads and posts I thought he was a trusted member of your community. I payed the PayPal friend method. I am feeling kinda upset and I want my money back.
I wasn’t going to go public but the communication has been so poor and I have been messaging with another member here who also is waiting on a package from Nitro.
Nitro has been a respected member, he has sold these heatsinks many times without issue and I have bought one from him myself previously.
I give him the benefit of the doubt, but I’d be upset too if I hadn’t already gotten mine. He has been a lot more absent lately, not sure what’s going on.
His communication skills need some attention. A lot can be forgiven if people communicate.
Observation and comment:
As of this moment I have not had any further response from Nitro, either here by forum PM, nor by personal email, nor any response via PayPal. We buyers who are waiting are left in the lurch, wondering. I hope the silence does not mean he has suffered a devastating accident or other incident in his personal life, but I believe we are deserving of a brief explanation at the very least.
On 9/26, 21 days after ordering from Nitro I was getting more and more concerned about the non-delivery. So, on the 26th I made an order from kiriba-ru. Paid him via PayPal. USPS tracking shows the package, all the way from Russia, will be delivered today. Eleven days from Russia. Impressive. I’m not home and won’t actually be able to check the items ordered until Monday or Tuesday. However I have no reason to doubt that everything will be there and in great shape. At least that seems to be what other purchasers are experiencing and posting on kiriba-ru’s topic.
FYI: I received my order after 7 (yes, seven) months waiting and trying to figure out if Nitro already send them out… Eventually he send them and I received them within two weeks.
I think Nitro has all the good intentions, but lacks the communicative and administrative skills.
Seven months. Wow! You have the patience of Job. I don’t.
If that is the case then potential purchasers should be aware of the risks up front and not have to discover this on their own as they wait and wonder what they are going to do with the other parts they have bought.
I tried to open a Paypal dispute this morning after repeated attempts to warn Nitro that I was going to do that. I guess I sent the money with no product attached… I can’t dispute it. I guess I have no recourse but to post here…
This wasn’t just for a couple of cheap heatsinks, I was planning on building me and my dad a triple X6 each…
$65 bucks man! Come on!
Fesso,
What parts are you missing?
I really feel bad for you. A noob and all excited to build a killer light…. only to get blindsided by an ^$$.
I received 2 packages again from Russia. Yes TWO orders arrived from Russia now and NONE from Nitro.
At the moment I have 4 pieces of copper for the X6 Triple. I do not need them all so you can have 2 of them but I need to ask for the shipping costs from Me, to to you. However it just may be cheaper to Buy 2 direct from Russia than it is for Just shipping from USA.
As for optics I only have 3 at the moment. I thought there were 3 more coming from russia today but I think there was some misunderstanding on the order. I could only spare One optic.
XP32 MCPCB are still out of stock from MtnE. I think International Outdoors has them but more expensive.
At the moment I only have 2 XP32 with XP-L HI V2 3A mounted on them. Kinda need them but could give one up (for you).
So thats 2 copper (free), 1 optic, and a reluctant offer for the XP32 and mounted XP-L HI (at cost)
That will get you one light built for now.
Ouch!! That hurts, Fesso. I’m only out $9 for one spacer and shipping. I have an opened PayPal dispute from 10/4. Three days and no response at all means I’ll be converting it to a claim shortly.
I am out $21 for 4 aluminum. Made the Mistake of sending Friends and Family.
Thanks VDub, that’s a very generous offer I appreciate it but I will gracefully decline. Can you PM me where you’re ordering stuff from Russia please and I’ll just re-order everything in a month or so if I don’t hear from Nitro. I am still holding onto the hope that Nitro will come through.
And another week goes by…. no reply.
(actually $65)
