       Just sharing

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       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: alice@neonlaserchina.com
       Skype:aliceflashlight
       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
       #23 (already change the original picture though) :D

       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.
