Yeh, ad states ships AFTER Aug 2. So, apparently it is not in stock yet.
Best price I’ve seen thus far.
Only glitch I’ve heard and read about is the occasional misaligned/hit or miss switch. But I think that we will always hear the negative reviews from the minority, that unfortunately received such, vs the majority of those that received perfect units.
If I didn’t already have one, I would not hesitate to order at this price point.
ETA: I see the sale price is for the 6500K 1A version. If one can live with that tint, the price is excellent and a no brainer. Step up to the warmer 3D 5000K tint adds another $7.22 to the price making it $23.95…not such a bargain IMO.
In my experience, Gearbest does not intentionally scam. Have you contacted them to ask about the delay? I ordered something from Jaxman on AliExpress just 5 days ago (still “awaiting shipment”) and I’m already messaging them to ship it soon.
I contacted their customer service and they told me they are still trying to get stock from their supplier. They gave me the option to wait longer, to exchange for another item, or a refund.
I’m going to wait a bit longer as I have a bunch of lights coming down the pipeline so I’m in no hurry to get another one. But it looks like the availability date keeps getting pushed back further and further. I’ll probably give it another few weeks and then decide.
If you really like this one you can always get the real thing, the Manker E11. It costs a bit more but it’s readily available. Plus you’ll get a real 5 year warranty from Manker. I don’t know what kind of warranty Utorch has.
Hi, UT01 pre-sale problem: Because of the lack of emitter material , we can not get the stock on Gearbest site.
so we set the product condition as presale.
The latest info about Utorch UT01: at the end of this month, we can restock them on Gearbest site.
Any updated info about the initem, we will here, keep you informed.
Best Regards,
Gearbest Team
Still waiting on mine that was ordered during a pre-sale back in July.
If you really like this light and don’t want to wait any longer - for about $6 more you can order a Manker E11 from Manker directly or Amazon. It’s pretty much the same light.
Every response they reply they fail to meet. It was not ready by end of month. It was not dispatched by September 10th. I just want my money back as these people are just unscrupulous as hell.
