Hmm, strange news.
When they said lights are in, they already would have known they missed the majority of them :~
I vote for option 3.
Refund the money, restart the GB.
Produce a sample of the light to show if the new host will do, and let people reorder for the same price (or less for all the trouble).
I do want an UV light, but will the new designed light be at least of the same quality, who will know.
If you ask me, the chance of Trustfire making a dual emitter flashlight is slim (but let's wait for Trustfire's answer to Tinywind for that), but if that comes off the ground I think the quality will be at least as good, probably better (but without dragon :-( )
Saphire was not able to reproduce the BLF-names of the participants who will receive a light, but she does have the real names and ordernrs. I will not post the list of names of course, but here are the ordernrs, you will have to look up yourself if your ordernr is in the list. I see there's not 50 numbers, but 37 (multiple flashlight per order?).
As for the Trustfire alternative, Saphire will get a quote from Trustfire about that tomorrow. Every participant who does not receive the current group buy light will have the opportunity for refund, but there is a MOQ (minimal order quantity) as well, so it could be that there's not enough demand leftover for an order, in that case everone will get the refund. Let's wait for the information tomorrow..
For this order I did (again) NOT get any notification other than that of Paypal. And I was not worried because things always came through in the end.
I think I’ll have to look under “my orders” or so, on the website of Tinywind. But I cannot access it from work because Tinywind is blocked (weapons!)
Strange to quote from my own post. It might become some sort of a eulogy.
It would be correct if Tinywind would mail order notifications, if an account is not made one never knows the ordernr. if something goes wrong. But i looked it up, I had got the name list PM-ed to me by Saphire, your name does not appear in the list.
