Simon at Convoy?

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

What happened to Simon/Convoy? I can’t find any of his lights on Aliexpress. Either doesn’t show up or says product no longer available. Is he still open and just somewhere else? Or did the company change names?

I think JDub mentioned he was on holidays.

Chinese New Year is a pretty big deal over there. I think he’ll be back in a week or 2.

Ok, thanks. Maybe he’s working on the ‘store’ for after the holiday. Be good to see him back as I’ve always had a good experience with him and still love the Convoy S2+ that I’ve ordered from him.

The main home page says they’re closed until Feb 15, so check back on Wednesday or Thursday.

For those who are anxiously awaiting, I made a little widget for you :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks like the store is open now.

There are items in stock again.

Thanks, :+1:

Still alot items not on stock hope fixed soon

Simon is definitely back, and I’m glad for it. Heck, he has about 99 thousand Convoy M1’s to sell by this point, one of which is mine in 7A tint and possibly Biscotti loaded in :sunglasses: Cheers to my old man for the b-day present! :crown: :beer:

That’s counting up now, haha :smiley:

11

Yeah, me too.

Maybe what you guys are looking for hasn’t been delivered to Simon yet? Any country takes about a month to gear back up after a long national holiday, and the Chinese New Year is a leviathan among those.

13

I doubt he sold off all his stock before the holiday and is waiting for all new stock.

Can you use PP on his site and is there a blf discount code ?
Cheers!.

Simon’s store is in Aliexpress and I’ve used PP in there before.

Here’s the URL: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/330416?spm=2114.01010208.3.5.CyXcrh

I think he gives BLF members a discount, but I don’t know the code.

Cheers!

Hey all! The Convoy store closes for a few weeks every year at this time but as of yesterday he is back in business. Please understand that it will take a bit for all to return to normal including item stock. Simon is working on it and he does indeed give a discount to BLF on many items including most flashlights. You just have to click the “buy” link and then send him a message through the Ali system asking for the BLF discount and telling him if you want to use PayPal.

Cheers,
J-Dub

Thanks
Trying this now.

Thanks for clarifying all. I was under the impression that in an Ecommerce store like Ali you can just put a “vacation message” and shut down and get it back online within minutes.

I thought I saw somewhere that in Aliexpress is accepting Paypal as of recently. Can’t remember where I saw that but I guess that’s not the case

Thanks man, thankfully I had time to send a second message to Simon about PP.

Happy to help my BLFamily. :slight_smile:
I also heard that Aliexpress was going to start accepting PP probably 6 months ago but I haven’t seen any real sign that it’s going to happen any time soon. Sure would make things easier for many of us.
