SL TT 2L and 3C @$23.44; TL-3 @$47.74 @ Amazon

[AFAustin]

Saw SL TTs, 2L and 3C, at Amazon just now: $23.44. If you add something and get total up to $25, free shipping, too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008VE4O/?tag=cpf0b6-20

Also TL-3 @ $47.74, w/ free ship. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008VE4C/?tag=cpf0b6-20

As long as you are not in a hurry.

I ordered two Tl-3's on October 16th, (after my due diligence here). I got an email from Amazon last Friday stating they were shipped and should be here on the tenth. :mecry:

Great price and no freight seduced me but three and a half weeks seems a little slow.

My Amazon orders have always been shipped fairly quickly, but haven't ordered these SLs from them.

 

[Hardball]

As do I, with mixed results. Really depends on the vendor although maybe the like Texans better than us left coasters.

I put the original story here.

I am sure the following is a price mistale but they have:

Strmlght 3v Lithium Battery 12/pk
List Price: $30.66
Price: $2.56
You Save: $28.10 (92%)

Good price huh...

[AFAustin]

Maybe it's the $12.99 shipping. Still, not a bad overall price for a 12-pk.
And, according to their shipping rate schedule, it's $12.99 for up to $34.99. So, a "volume user" could buy 13 12 pks., and shipping would average out to $1/pk., for a final total price of $3.56/ 12 pk.!

Nice find, wwglen!

If anyone buys multiple 12 pks., pls. post how it comes out.

This is really weird, I placed an order for a Streamlight Night Fighter 2 Xenon and a Tasklight 2L3W which have a shipping estimate of 1-2 weeks.
Also ordered a TL-3 which said "usually ships within 24 hrs"
Know what? I just checked and Amazon says the NF-2 and 2L3W have been shipped while the Tl-3 has not....

And I suppose this is a stupid question but have any of you guys gotten the TL-3 yet?
I'm wondering if Amazon is actually sold out and is busy getting new stock from Streamlight?
Wonder if the people that has already gotten theirs received the old one(yellow packaging) or the new one(blue packaging)?

 

[Wrace]

Is there a way to search Amazon for a super low cost item that qualifies for fee shipping, so you could mate it up with SL 2L for purchase?

 

[tmf2]

Did these TL-3's come in a blue or yellow package. I guess the
blue is an updated version with increased shock resistance for
the bulb. Someone said venders are clearing out the older versions
to make room for the new. The link is somewhere on this forum , but I'm too
tired to look at the present. Sorry.

Heck I am game. I used my Visa so if they send me 13 batteries I will simply try to get a resolution from them and if they refuse I will use Visa buyer protection. My e-mail invoice clearly states 13 12 packs of SL 123A batteries to be shipped by Nov 11. I will let you know what happens as soon as I know. If it works out it will be the deal of the year!

[Ras_Thavas]

Ok, I bit. I ordered 13 packs of batteries and 2 flashlights.

 

[moonkat]

I decided to let vendor decide if $2.56 was typo or not.
Ordered 10 - 12pks on 7 Nov and order was accepted with 14 to 18 Nov delivery date.
We shall see ...
If this comes in, I'll be up for TL-3s as my first torch !!!

It all started with a few River Rocks: 5-2AAAs, 1-2AA, 3-4AA Lamps, 5-2AAA Head lamps; then a Fenix L1P group buy (4, tnx 4sevens); Thor 1 & 1.5 Mcp spotlights; 4-4AA SL Luxs from Fox (my best and only 5 star rated lights) ... when will it end !!! :huh: :huh: :huh:

 

[electronics4life]

It appears that Amazon is the one that made the mistake with the product listing. If you go to ToolTopia.com, the merchant Amazon is using, it does not list the batteries as a 12 pack. ToolTopia.com's price is $2.59 a piece.

Good luck.

I just ordered 14 packs to get the lower shipping rate. I plan on sharing the bounty with other CPF members. The biggest concerns I have are whether the batteries are counterfeit or defective.

 

[moonkat]

Checked my Amazon order this morning and important message notified me that my order has been refunded.

Guess Amazon is not willing to subsidize purchase

The price is listed as 2.56 per 12 pack on Tool Logic's storefront, so Amazon shouldn't have to cover the difference. This price has been listed there for a long time, so I have to wonder if it's a gimmick to get you to look at their site. http://www.amazon.com/gp/search.html/ref=br_ss_hs/102-7882252-8451347?platform=gurupa&url=index%3Dmerchants%26merchant%3DA30DGJTMHYAU9C&keywords=battery+streamlight&Go.x=12&Go.y=7

 

[wwglen]

And they tell you how much the regular price is and how much you save.

If they know about the problem and still keep it at that price on the web site I am sure they can be held to it.

If anyone here vists fatwallet.com, they are quite aware that this is typical of Amazon.

I'm PO'd at not getting product as advertised, but am more concerned that this is a sophisticated phishing scam. I have never had my account charged before product ships and certainly not with "merchandise permanently out of stock". My emails to Tooltopia and Amazon.com:

"Gentlemen,
I am very dissapointed in your cancelation of my order and suspect that this has been a scam to generate sales and possibly worse in that you charged my credit card for the order knowing full well you had no stock.

I am a member of a large and sophisticated flashlight forum, CandlePowerForums.com, and none of the members have received satisfaction despite your ad having been listed for a considerable time and continues to be listed today.

I am writing first to you then to Amazon.com and possibly your state's Attorney Generals Office if I do not receive satisfactory response. At this time the transaction appears to be a phishing scam."

Sincerely,
Jeff Munekata

Yeah they canceled my order. I would rather them cancel than have sent 13 batteries that I would have to go to the trouble to ship back.
