Asking Supbeam few days ago about T10, almost buy it but |
|
shipping cost and method made me retracted. |
|
What's annoying me is they refuse to sent using HK Post or EMS |
|
China Post, the option is using DHL/Fedex which I don't like not |
|
just because high shipping fee. |
|
The reason is because in my experience DHL/Fedex/TNT/UPS |
|
sometime (if not always) not deduct tax exemption USD 50 (to my |
|
country) for tax calculation, charge me warehouse fee and |
|
another handling fee. They have their warehouse in airport with |
|
special assigned custom duty officer, more strict on checking |
|
items and sometime those guys make their own price assumption |
|
for the goods, not like if using HK Post / Sing Post / China |
|
Post which usually more lenient. |
|
Few days passed and asked them again, said already sent me email |
|
but goes to my spam folder ... oopsss. |
|
This time I offer to charge me using Fedex rate but shipped |
|
using EMS China Post, got refused :( |
|
Sorry for my grumble. |
|
At last I take my bet and put the order but for less expensive |
|
flashlights. To reduce shipping cost (they offer me USD 22 as |
|
minimum) for 1 item, I consciously do rather stupid thing and |
|
order few items, end up with (shipping cost become USD 30): |
|
L10 USD 11,3 (XP-G on their description, received GP-G on blue, |
|
XP-G2 on neutral color). |
|
S50 USD 16.8 (XP-G on description, received GP-G2, should be |
|
XP-G2 as default, their manual stated it as XP-G2 too). |
|
EC10 USD 24.43 (XM-L T6, support 14500 battery). |
|
EC30 USD 26.98 (XM-L T6, 18650/2xRCR123, have some colors too, |
|
mine working only with button top battery). |
|
L15 USD 37.8 (XM-L2 version), I really like it, balance flood |
|
and throw. |
|
Arrived today (with Fedex charged me another USD 5.5 for |
|
handling bla bla bla), I'm glad that all flashlights working as |
|
it should be. |
|
Other items that I asked the price: |
|
K40 USD 59.9 |
|
T10 USD 61.9 (XM-L2, 0D) |
|
They said there's paypal fee which not charged in my order |
|
because forgot to add it, so I don't know how much it is. |
|
May be this is not the best price we can get, but at least can |
|
be use as guideline if want to buy some of those items from |
|
them. |
|
My contact for this order: |
|
Email: [email protected] |

|
She's nice, I asked to test my order before shipped it and she |
|
did it. I believe so because my flashlight boxes is opened and |
|
one have slight tear :) and willing to cooperate by modifying |
|
the invoice ;) |
|
About similarity between Supbeam and Thrunite, please read post |

While TN31 XM-L U2 version have exactly same output with Supbeam |
|
K40 U2, TN31 XM-L2 U2 version slightly different output |
|
(Thrunite give the output numbers after K40 L2). |
|
PS: please remove this post to proper thread if necessary. |
