But the reason people buy from them is the fact that they are the cheapest game in town.. I have given away more DX lights than I have kept.. I have never given away any of my fenix lights or lights bought from more prominent US sellers.. The US Sellers know the score if they provide a bad product, they will get hit hard by negative reviews and will lose sales.. DX doesn't have an issue with negative reviews because they know they are the cheapest seller on the web.. Of the couple of P7 lights I bought from DX, all had mode switching problems.. Not a big issue, easy fix with RE magnets, but it says something about QC of the product..
I never mentioned DX.
When I said biased I was refering to your attitude towards me, which is somewhat borne out by the conclusion you have just jumped to.
In any case, I don't have an issue with any supplier, however I am not in the US (lots of members of this forum aren't BTW) so it would make little sense to pay more to a US supplier for what is quite often exactly the same item I can get post free on DX.
I've bought quite a few torches from DX and maybe I have been lucky - BUT all of them have been superb - so why shouldn't I say so ?
I've had problems with 2 orders (not torches) which DX sorted out fairly efficiently considering the distance.
I don't have a problem with US sellers, though I do believe if they are charging more they should provide more and I don't have a problem with you, I'm just here for the lighting.
