  • woo hoo got me a torch, to errr….shine on random things….yay for me….there goes my cheeseburger money.

  • I resisted all evening yesterday as I was lazy to sign up. 197 votes today morning…. Had to sign up and get one.

  • Thanks, Tightarse. Bought one just now. Had one similar to this and lost it. It was one of the best useful cheapies I've ever had.

  • bought1!

  • wow , I love the price!

  • +2

    Was a few cents cheaper yesterday due to drop in exchange rates. Anyone noticed how much of a ripoff the PayPal exchange rates are? PP .89 cents vs .93 on XE.

  • Thanks tightarse for the step by step!

  • Cheers Tightarse. Add another torch to the collection.

  • got one thanks

  • bought 1 for aud$3.66
    thanks

    More torches to go with my endless supply of eneloops..

    Not buying another, since last one purchased from amazon from a deal posted here gave me a faulty unit! And to have another one resent would cost way more than the initial purchase cause the faulty needs to be sent back.

    I believe these models are the same at least if not similar.

  • Need one to chuck in the tool box

  • thanks

    3.59 AUD for me.

  • i bought this, and then bought the d40a even before this one arrived…wow this flashlight buying disease works quickly!!!

  • Thanks. Been wanting something like this for ages. My current flashlight is too weak.

  • Awesome, I think it's time for a replacement for the bike handlebars…

    Don't forget to pay with your Citibank debit/28 degrees card if you have it to avoid munted paypal currency conversion rates! (still pay via pay pal for the protection, just pay with your chosen fee-free-currency-conversion-card and choose the pay with USD option)

  • +1

    Lol trust tightarse to find a deal for a powerful flashlight to go looking for objects hidden in dark crevices

  • Thanks, brought one!

    • +3

      O rly? Where did you bring it?

  • FYI - gearbest site isn't SSL protected, just realized that when 1 was bought….

  • Anyones got it delivered yet?

    • +1

      Got a despatch notice on 25/4 with a 12-20 (business) days delivery prediction (for normal country). Evidently parcels only travel on business days in normal countries, so abnormal countries may be faster.
      Taking this literally, and assuming normality, my earliest delivery will be 13/5.

      • Nope, haven't got mine yet. Assuming 12 business days since order on 18 Apr, my earliest would be 6 May. It also depends on my local postie's mood.

  • -1

    after ordering from these guys I can't get into the account and have no idea what happenend to my order. Gearbest support just keeps going back and forth repeating the same stupid questions and same stupid suggestions, but nothing has arrived and no one will give me an order update! Dodgy buggers, I think time to neg the deal…

    • +2

      We wish to apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you. Could you pls offer us order number,We hope to hear from you soon,so that we may send out your order without further delay.
      Thank you for your patience and kind support.
      Best Regards

  • I just got a shipping confirmation today from my order made 04/24/2014 17:04:06 PM

    FYI REP, I do note that on this shipping confirmation they have listed my "total" as $5.02, yet when I login online it says $3.22.

  • Still waiting for mine..

    • Same here after almost a month…

  • can't purchase using credit card? Only paypal option is available.

    I like this one :-

    "Strengthen sexual heat dissipation design"
    That's bound to come in handy at least a few times a week.

  • Man this is taking ages… Stil haven't received mine, shipped on the 24th of April.

    Same here…. still waiting. Purchase on 17 April…..

  • received mine today, great little torch

  • still haven't got mine too :(((((

  • still waiting too.

  • where is my torch….

  • I am still waiting for my torch :(

  • FYI for those still waiting. I paid on the 17th April and just received the torch today.

  • Still waiting!!

  • Still waiting for mine. Bought on the 17th, and It said next day post on their page as it was in stock, but until 9 days later that I queried them about whether or not my item shipped, did I miraculously receive a shipping email the next day when they replied to my query. It's my first and probably last purchase from them

    • fail - going back to using dealextreme

      • This has got to be a good example of the Ozbargain Effect and group herd marketing. Product okay - I mean it's not awesome, shipping took a month and the price was not something I would call a bargain in the context of other similar categorised torches. Note to self don't confuse + with actual product and service that comes from ordering the advertised product.

  • still waiting, purchased on 17th, just open my support ticket by log into my account

  • Purchased on 19th, shipped on 25th with up to 25 days delivery time, will see what happens this week…

  • Torch received.

  • Paid on the 17th. Shipped on the 26th. 3 weeks so far; not out of the realm of Chinese courier delivery times.

  • 3.5 weeks and still haven't got it :((((((((((((((((((((

    Still waiting…. gearworst strikes again.

  • Damn still waiting. First and last from Gearbest for me.

  • Im still waiting as well =(

  • Same here & no happy! :(

  • Still waiting 2 :-(

  • Still waiting here.

  • Still waiting!!!!!
    I dont think I will ever bother with these clowns again..

    • +2
      I wish there is a way to get our money back. I know it costs me about $6.00 only but the thought of these clowns thinking they can get away with it make my blood boiling :(

  • same still waiting. may be i should claim a dispite with paypal…. should i continue waiting??

  • 5 weeks now, and I'm still waiting!!!

  • 5 weeks too… still waiting… waiting waiting… freaken waiting….

  • just got mine today, HOLY S*** it's a fantastic torch

  • +2

    Still waiting in the dark…

  • Did not arrive, just submitted a support ticket with refund request. Payment did not go to 'gearbest' like other orders I have made, when looking at the paypal transaction it went to 'li pengzhen' [email protected]. Not sure what that means but I have my gearbest order and tracking number saying it's been sent.

    • Same here. And strangely enough when looking at the order status, it says "Shipped Out" but the little graphic above that shows the order as pending payment.

      Either way, the Buyer Protection Period is fast approaching its expiry, so no choice really.

  • I bought two and I have suspicions that one of them are fake. Several features on them are different, the button, the paint quality and the clip. Anyone else get the same thing?

    • I got 3 and all were the same except for the beam being different in all 3 including color differences but I put that down to cheap manufacturing.

  • Mine hasn't arrived. Will give it another week before disputing.

  • Mine hasn't arrived too. Shipped out on the 26th April.

  • +5

    Still waiting, hopeless… Won't shop gearbest again.

  • I've also noticed that there are no tracking details (My Account > My Orders > Track Your Shipment) found for the tracking number that was emailed to me.

  • Finally arrived today

    1 works great. the other light (with same battery) is not very bright.. :(

    • Edit.. I lied
      The ones I received were some colored cree torches I ordered a week or 2 later from Ozbargain

    Received this message from the seller after submitting a dispute:

    Dear ____________

    So sorry for the inconvenience has caused to you.

    As the order W___________, we shipped your order by flat rate shipping at Apr 25,As you known, you chose flat rate shipping which is not like standard shipping or expedited shipping which will provide you with detailed delivery information. And it is slower than other shipments.

    Any other questions,please feel free to let us know,we will more than happy to service for you,thank you.

    Sent them this reply:

    Thanks for the reply.

    How exactly am I supposed to get a refund if after waiting 2 - 3 months, the item does not arrive?

    You only offer a 45 day money back guarantee, and it's nearly been 45 days. If the item has been lost in transit, then I have no guarantee of receiving it since there is no tracking.

    1 month and 1 week is a reasonably long enough time to wait, even by the very slow flat rate shipping times from China and Hong Kong.

    I've ordered dozens of products via such couriers before and this is a LONG wait time, even by those standards.

    If the courier companies you use for flat rate shipping have continual problems delivering items in a reasonable time, that is YOUR PROBLEM; not mine. I do not control the courier companies you deal with nor should choosing a cheaper courier service cause my order to be considered "low priority" and subject to less quality control.

    They're your couriers; they're your problem. Don't offer such unreliable shipping services if they're a cause of continual complaints for you.

    I still maintain I would like a refund from you, otherwise I will escalate this to a PayPal Claim.

  • -1

    I put in for a paypal claim… CBF waiting anymore this is ridiculous…

  • -1

    I also put in a paypal claim. Today marks 24 business days since post, 33 since day of order.
    This is the response I got from the seller.

    So sorry for that.

    So sorry again.

    If it has not arrived by thursday (26 business days) I will escalate the claim.

    Class action paypal dispute anyone?

  • Mine arrived today and it is a good little performer.

    I have been surprised at the whingeing in this forum about the delivery time. They provided an estimated delivery date range and mine arrived 4 days after their later prediction. Their deliveries are at the mercy of the variables involved in international freight logistics. Perhaps we have been spoilt by the many excellent delivery times that we usually enjoy.

    What has happened to good old fashioned patience and tolerance?

  • +1

    mine also arrived today.

    seems like quite poor build quality though, there's a rubber seal on the inside and mine came loose immediately and now everytime i unscrew/screw it it catches on the seal and is almost ripped, now i have a nice bit of dangling plastic on the inside of the torch and get an annoying shadow when i use it.

  • +1

    Arrived today (was dispatched 24/04/2014)
    Low quality which I expected from price.
    It had rubber seal dangling loose inside the lens so unscrewed top cap and removed it.

    • how do you remove? my rubber seal is dangling in the space between the lens and the battery "connector"…

      • +1

        Hold onto the bumpy section and unscrew the top smooth section.
        I ended up refitting the rubber seal, it took a few go's for it to stay on when putting torch back together hopefully it stays put.

  • Mine finally arrived today. Not overly impressed with it, but then it did cost ~ $3.50 so I can't really complain. As a comparison though, my Sunwayman M10A AA flashlight is much much brighter, more functional and of better build quality.

    Planning to use mine as a bicycle light and for that purpose, it will do (assuming rain doesn't kill it).

  • Got mine yesterday, had an "opened by customs" sticker on envelope so that may have held up delivery.

    It was DOA, had to pull it apart and re-seat circuit board for better contact, this fixed it and it works but i have purchased a few of these same torches and this one is not the best build compared to others i have.

  • Totally forgot that I had ordered this. Arrived today, and for $3.50, definitely not complaining!

    Powerful little torch!

    • Got mine 2day aswell- thanx again TA :-)

    • Yeah, it's okay for the price.

      Ordered 24/4, shipped (must've been by slow boat from China) 28/4, arrived 28/5; 23 business days out of the 25 day estimate.

      "The shipping speed is outside our control" = "dependent on how fast the wind pushes that slow boat across the seas"

  • Mine FINALLY arrived! Probably came by a boat from indonesia…. The torchlight output is no freaking way near the claimed 350lm, more like 80lm like my other one from Kmart. Not happy!

  • Arrived today Qld
    No Zoom (Maybe "Focus: Yes" does not mean zoom)
    Poorly assembled, low lumens
    Disappointing flashlight
    Sometimes you get what you pay for lol

    Oldsee

    • The whole lens assembly does slide to give zoom. Mine was very stiff initially and I had to apply a lot of pressure but it does zoom from a big circle right through to a projection of the LED itself (about 80mm at 1 metre).

      • This is how mine operates too.

  • Finally arrived. It's not bad, feels solid for the price but the wait time really saps all buyer enthusiasm for the product.

    Will seriously think twice before jumping on some cheap Gearbest/Aliexpress/ChineseCheapskate deals.

  • +2

    Adding to the chorus of 'mine arrived today' cause err… Mine arrived today. Read some of the complaints about it, but to be honest I think it's a great touch for the price. This one can live in the car with its eneloop powering it :-P

  • Got mine too..

    For the price it's pretty good, so no complaints, but nowhere near what I was expecting from all the fanfare over it.

    It is quite poor quality, as mentioned and no where near 350 lumens advertised.. My 120 Lumen 2xAA Cree from aldi is notably brighter (and just as notably better built), This is evident from that fact it draws more power too _2.5w vs 1w for this) This is no surprise though, I don't think it has a boost converter after all. You could probably drive the LED harder.

  • I have "My Precious"…

    Looks solidly built, could almost be the grip of a mini light sabre.

  • +1

    Finally turned up. I got to say, it's amazing. A month and a half wait is kinda taking the piss though.

  • Ordered on the 29th of April. Still haven't received mine. Their tracking number stated in the accounts page does not work. I have just mailed them. Gonna give them one day to reply otherwise I have to lodge that 45 day thingy with Paypal or its gonna be too late. Not happy !!!

  • +1

    Received mine today! It is a great little torch that is super bright (in the day time, cant wait to try it tonight). It is not plastic either -quite well made for the price. Worth the loooong wait.

  • haven't receive mine. this will be my last time shopping with them
