Got about the same mail today, they reshipped from HongKong...
I asked them where the tracking number is for this shipment from HongKong...
I wonder how they managed to screw things up like this, a whole bunch of people are complaining about orders not received and non working tracking numbers...
If nothing received by December 1st, I'm starting a PP dispute...Stil within my 45 days from purchase. I just hope my 3T6 arrives before it gets to that.
The Trustfire TR-3T6 from this thread, ordered on Oct. 19th... got a tracking number and shipped status on Oct. 22nd, but the tracking number never worked...
Then they told me to wait,
then they told me to wait a little more,
then they where gonna follow it up with their forwarding agent, then they told me to wait a little more,
the parcel was gonna leave from Shanghai airport and told me to wait a couple of days longer for it to leave
and now got an e-mail it was due to ship out through HongKong Airmail for some unknown reason (they don't know why their parcel will get shipped from hongkong instead of Shanghai)...
Why even bother buying from FP they have one of the worse CS. Reasons mentioned above just keeps me away from them for good , but people keep buying from them..o_O
Actually it's my first bad experience with them. Maybe I just was lucky before, I don't know. It's not really bad, they do reply my inquiries and they did email on their own to inform me the parcel was resent via HongKong, but I still don't have a tracking number for HK post, so there's no proof yet they sent anything to me.
This is Candy,sorry for the late reply, just back to work today,how about your order now?
Or you can send me your order No, I will push this to related CS, sorry for the inconvenience brought to you
I want tell all customers of Focalprice, this delay may due to the new system, it is not very mature now ,have many bugs, so some of the orders delayed, sorry for all the troubles brought to you all
Maybe using Google Translator and sending your messages in Chinese will help... Honestly I hate to deal with any of these places. Lately there's hundreds of them and I suspect that they are just individuals buying stuff and reselling it, or like ebay, they sell it first and then go try to get it... Sort of like what I do...
I've had trouble with KD, DK and a bunch of others. They all ship from Hong Konk. I guess that's the only point where they can ship from. I imagine China controls the flow of everything they sell. Hope y'all get your orders.
I wish I had the money to front a store here in the US for all the chinese flashlights, tablets, etc. I could sell them here, but of course it would be more expensive, although priority shipping might be an incentive for US buyers.
I think you seriously underestimate the volume of goods some of these sellers ship on a daily basis.
I don't hate any of them, as long as they send me the goods or fix their errors. Try buying flashlights locally at the prices you can get them from these online stores, €15 buys me a crappy duracel incan light, while I just ordered a 502B with R2 for €3 and change from DD.
I don't hate them, just their seemingly disorganized approach. Lack of service isn't due to low price, it's due to lack of coordination or control or business sense. Shipping should happen on the same day as the order is placed, not days or weeks later. Yes I buy because I cannot afford to pay more. If I had a good job making good money, I would not buy from China. I would buy in the US, but the US outpriced ourselves due to always.........
Sorry, running my mouth again, just to run my mouth. That's my problem I run my mouth (or my keyboard). I got an opinion on everything, just ask me. Of course none of them are valid, but that never stopped me before.
Yes, the TF-3T6 does work with 3-cells. Mine does. It also works with 4AA and quite bright at that. But only the genuine one. Don't quote me if yours go poof...
At least you got a tracking number and it's on it's way, I have nothing, no tracking # and no light... They told me they resent my order from hongkong, but failed to present me with a valid tracking number still... there is no end to my patience with these people... ... .. . .
