That’s the difference between a well set up company with proper marketing/CS/R&D departments that aims to stay in the business for decades like Fenix and zebralight does vs a bunch of people out there trying to make quick bucks by trying to grab every single buyer with rushed, unfinished products without performing proper QC or providing hardly any after sales service at all.
Although this is BUDGET light forum after all I don’t like the notion (which is being accepted) that inexpensive must equal cheaply made. Lately I find myself avoiding any groupbuy until there are several reviews and extensive discussion of the design or manufacturing issues.
Btw there is no need to hide names, this is not CPF. Any negative experiences can be freely shared with or without a point of reference. This forum is in a time of growth and the last thing we want is to give a bad impression of this hobby because of a few “rotten apples”.
Thanks will34. well said.
Here is the thread another member started. MANY dissatisfied people.
Ordered a couple of FW3A lights & accessories on 6/17. Received shipment notification 7/21.
DHL tracking shows package originating from Greensboro, NC. delivered to Hawthorne, Ca. on 8/23.
My address is not in CA. or anywhere near that zip code.
Email sent to Seller. Seller responds with DHL tracking#…. That’s it! Nothing else!
Buyer Beware of NealsGadgets!!!
Not all the posts are negative, but negative posts are the majority. Particularly like post #63 . TOO many people can justify others actions. MUTOS thoughts echo mine. :+1:
After this I would like to get back to The thread title, KUDOS TO ACEBEAM
