Hi Friend,
We are so sorry to tell you these coupon code GB17LED and GB18LED have been expired.
Please choose our other available coupon code.
We sincerely apologize for this updating.

Gearbest rep.

1. Then please remove the GB17LED code from your banner ad that appears here on BLF.
2. What “other available coupon code” ?
3. Please make a new code for BLF members and post it here, the other popular web shops we use have a discount code for us, Banggood, Fasttech, KD, etc.

I second that

<<<< Today the ad is showing GB18LED, what’s up with them, are they teasing us?

EDIT: clicked on the ad and it’s showing a “new year lighting sale” on flashlights with GB18LED! :+1:

.
EDIT 2: Just tried it…“The Code you entered has expired” :person_facepalming: …. :rage: :rage: :rage:

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just tried GB18LED as I also saw the banner…

“The Code you entered has expired.”

This is ridiculous!!!

I agree, well they did chime in on this thread a few days ago, (although with no resolution) hopefully they reply again and let us know what they plan on doing about this false advertising.

Looks like gearbest has gone downhill.

I see less and less of flashlight coupon deals and it is sad for flashlight community

6 months ago they have so many deals and I spend lots of money whereas now I hardly spend any

Yeah, I don’t know what’s up with Gearbest right now. I made two orders from them 10 days ago for items that were in stock, and they’re still stuck in ‘Packed’. Sent a ticket and was told to wait 10-15 more business days.

I been waiting on the Lumintop Duke and just gave up and ordered off the Lumintop Amazon store
They don’t respond to small orders apparently.

It seems the deals really have become more scarce. I haven’t been here long, but looking through the past deals, even 6 months ago there were fantastic deals like: 4 pack 30Q $12.99, Zanflare F1 $9.99, S2+ $6.99. I would buy those things instantly at those prices. I wonder if deals like those will ever come back.

I have noticed the same thing. I purchased a Convoy L6 right before christmas, the deal was $46. Now with the deal codes its $66.
I have been eyeballing the Utorch UT02 for a while, deal use to be $35 now its $40. Haven’t seen the UT01 deal for $10 in a while either.

Wow, that’s right! That same perennial deal was all over the place like stink on a monkey, and now nothing!

I even asked a few folx about why the ’01 was being pushed so hard, and nobody knew, or at least nobody was saying.

DENGOH · 2018-04-27T05:52:15.000Z

Feels like Gearbest has switched hand to new owner who doesn’t like the profit margin.

I wouldn’t want another one for free…

First the switch went wonky, now it only works if you loosen/tighten the tail cap first, so it just sits here. And I ain’t the only one.

…But to Gearbests credit, they took care of it proper.

.

…………Now the REAL deal we need again is the $9.99 Zanflare F1! ………….PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!

(or $15 maybe? )
