Trek Lights group buy part 2. FREE LIGHT GIVEAWAY!

Got my tracking number!! Stoked.

 

Hey all!

I must say, what Tacoma World lacks in patience, is certainly made up for in enthusiasm!

We're getting these orders out as fast as humanly possible.

Here's our shipping process:

Unpack everything
Make sure nothing is broken
Count everything
Separate orders
Package everything
Print shipping label
Drive merchandise to UPS / USPS

If you receive a tracking number, your shipment has either gone out or is on its way out.

I know you're all eager to get your lights! I'm working my behind off getting these orders out the door.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer any of the following types of emails while we're in the shipping process:

1. Did you ship my order yet?
2. Can I have a tracking number?
3. Can you expedite my order?

5. Why do your lights look similar to...
6. Why are your lights not as cheap as...

The answers are:

1. Probably.

2. We're sending them as we create them, in real time.

3. All orders are on expedite status right now. I just spent almost $4,000 on air freight and will spend another $2,000 - $3,000 on shipping.

5. The housings and retail packaging are generally the same for all of these Chinese manufacturers. They buy the housings and fit their own optics/diodes/writing/reflectors. The internals are what differentiates one supplier from the other. My supplier had been in business for over 10 years and uses better internal components than most other manufacturers of these lights.

6. I spent lots of time testing lights from different manufacturers before I chose my current supplier. I believe I found the best quality Chinese manufacturer of these lights. I have a guy in China who works for me sourcing parts. Some people are trying to spread nasty rumors about Trek Lights, but they don't realize the amount of time and work that has gone into launching this company. We may be small, we may have grown too large too quickly, but we will not rest until you all have your merchandise and are satisfied. So, just because it looks the same, doesn't mean it is the same.

I hope you understand about us not answering emails of the above nature, but we're more concerned with getting everything out the door and into your hands.

Thanks for staying with us through the good and the bad, everyone! We appreciate each and every one of you!

 

Lol. Dude, don't make it sound like I fired you!

He's not fired everyone, I just didn't want him to turn into a flak jacket. He still works with me. Unless he quit. You didn't quit, did you?

All inquiries about the group buy can be sent directly to me via email from this point forward. Please reference the above posts regarding types of emails that I will not be able to respond to for a few days.

 

I didn't quit lol. Taking a nice vacation from flack catching for a little bit haha

 

I will continue to provide tracking numbers through the night.

 

Thanks for the update Troy. Greatly appreciated

 

Received my tracking number last night!

 

Got my tracking number too, hopefully soon I will see when/where it's at on it's travel to CA. I'm sure many lessons were learned from this entire (group buy).
I still have faith and will update/post as soon as I see any movement on my tracking order number, as well as when I receive it, as to keep other members informed. Good luck all... Standing by...

 

Got my tracking number to thanks a lot

 

Still waiting for mine

 

Did anyone get tracking info today. Nothing yet for me

 

still waiting on mine....

 

100+ orders. 1 man.

I'll check

 

also waiting, but im sure its on the way

 

Thanks

 

Also waiting for mine.

 

Tracking numbers should be coming still

 

that isnt really much of an answer.. all we've ever gotten is "it should be coming" it would be cool to know stuff like "half the lights are shipped" or "only 25 more orders to get shipped" or "these are the reasons you dont have your numbers yet"

jus sayin

 

All I'm saying is that's all I know. I texted him yesterday and I didn't hear back. I'm assuming he's shipping more currently.

 

Just out of curiosity... Just because we have a tracking number, doesn't mean the lights are actually on the way. Right? All it means is that it was put in on the computer and a number was assigned to each label.
