Fasttech, Lights, and HK Post

Woohoo! Mine shipped today! After quite a few discussions with them I would add. Told them a few times I didnt think the service was very good compared to their competitors but to make up for yhe delay they’re sending me a free rear light too.. prob basic but at least ots something I suppose.
Oh, they’re no longer using HK post apparently..

I sent a polite email last night to fast tech asking if I should still be waiting after 4 weeks. Only response I got was from PayPal saying I had been refunded. So that’s a solar storm and a yingding I’ve had go AWOL in the post so far. Back to the drawing board for me!

Sometimes its just easier to buy stuff in the UK. Sending batteries isn’t so straight forward but you certainly don’t wait weeks to get stuff, at most its generally days

Granted you pay more, but once I’ve bought it I generally want to use it fairly soon – certainly for toys like this anyway

^^Seconded. I’ve bought an X2 from Lightmalls but it’s faulty and needs to go back. They refused to pay for the return unless I accepted a replacement – I didn’t want one from them as I didn’t want to wait 2 weeks for it to get here.

It costs maybe a few quid more to buy from a UK ebayer. You will end up having to buy a decent battery from a UK supplier anyway. Get a head unit from a UK ebayer, spend on a decent UK battery.

Got mine at the weekend. Seem extremely well made and people I rode with on Sunday were very impressed with the light level and spread.
Only used one but I didn’t feel the need to slow down much at all, maybe only on tighter bends where I could have done with a helmet mounted light.

Well pleased!

I ordered 2 sets for friends on Oct. 9th. From an ebayer in China, still haven’t arrived so have asked for re-fund , due to China post and RM now not liking batts. I thought that was the best move.

Double post

I am still waiting for my Yinding from Fasttech. I did contact them a couple of days ago and got a stock reply that basically they will refund when it is returned to them or after eight weeks whichever i soon. I do hope it will turn up though as you can’t get the Yinding from the UK and the few places which do sell it don’t have it in black at the moment. I don’t plan to reorder anything this side of christmas once this thing is resolved. The light would be an indulgence anyway as I have a few XM-L T6s and a couple of back up XM-L U2 torches so I am in no rush.
