Hello,
I found this forum (WOW) on the net, I have to get some flashlights ( around 500$ mixed) and I don't know where to buy.
I've bought 2 times from Dae ( Qualitychinagoods) , it has a good service but 1 time he wrong the shipping and send me the package with EMS and not with TNT I requested, results : over 1 month to have here in France. Another limit is the low e-mail reply because it takes 2-3 days to reply a question ( orderd over 400$ of stuff).

I wanna try Fifthunit but I've read that he ships very slow, and I'm in France so probably it will takes 3-4 week.

Usually I use TNT because it's the fastest here ( HK to France with TNT in 5-7 days)

If you can give me some other good site to buy some flashlight like these it will be great.
Thanks

This may have been the case at one time, but I recently placed an order for some customized keychain lights with him that required some back-and-forth via email and the responses were very prompt, taking the time difference between China and California into account.

I can't guarantee you'll have the same experience, of course.

I'm looking for some good reseller, Dae was one of my favourite but in the last time he lost point ( for me ).
If someone has some good reseller please let me know

I use to buy from Dae(Quality China Goods) but I quit buying from him since I bought 2 7 watt Golstons from him and one of them was defective and I cound not get a warranty from him...He tried to blame it on me.

I have bought from fifthunit.com and shipping takes about the same, and they seem to respond in 1-2 days.Their prices seem less expensive with the same quality products.

I just got my package from Fifthunit today. Payed 9/28, 3 days later they sent me a letter saying one of the items was going to hold the package up, but the next day everything was fine. I wasn't expecting it until Friday.

I tried to contact Freya too, thanks.
I don't know , I paid them, I asked shipping with TNT (written in the mail around 6 times), I asked him tracking number and then after 2 days of silence he gave me a EMS tracking !
I asked where's the package at because tracking is stopped in China but no reply from Saturday. I don't know how they work in this way.
I tried mailing fifthunit and that's the same delay, around 3 days to have a reply.
I don't know how they thought to work so slow.

I just received a couple of items from Fifthunit. One of them, the 1w/3w Headlamp was DOA. I notified them and they said to send it back and that they'd reimburse me for the return shipping.

I find Huntlight to be quite reliable too. I suggest you give them a try.

It's 5 days that I continue asking to Dae to track my package shipped for his error with EMS and not TNT. 5 days ago he gave me that number EA803238175CN but no news on that from 10/12/2006
Anybody can help me ?
I'll wait 24 hours again then I'll contact paypal , it's over 400$ of order!!
Thanks

I have ordered several times from Dae, both the retail and wholesale site.
And I´m satisfied with them.

I have ordered twice from Fifthunit (will recive the goods from second order soon). The first time I recived my items after around 10-14 days (I´ll live in Sweden).

I´ll think they both are safe to buy from.
