This offer has only, and will only be advertised to OzBargain member's. It is only one per customer and it is not for the older 210 Lumens but the latest 360 Lumens, steel cased all weather super , super, bright mini flashlight. It runs off an AA battery and comes with beam adjustment and comes with the latest 2_Q5 CREE Bulb.

Please note the specifications indicate water resistant, however we only suggest its light rain or drizzle resistant. Alot of products mention they are water resistant that really aren't. In short amazing little torch that you will be very impressed with, but keep it out of the rain and it will be your handy little aid for several years.

I will make sure the day it comes back a new one is re issued once the defect is checked. Appreciate your patience and am sorry you were one of the unlucky ones, although I actually told another member on here tonight to buy a lotto ticket because your officially in a .5% category, so maybe it is worth having a punt based on that. But regardless I will make sure the turnaround is quick. Cheers.

  • team teri on 24/05/2013 - 18:41

    While I am still patiently waiting for my torch (and hope it will work right out of the box once it makes it across the Nullarbor) I just had another quick look around ZINGY's website.

    A couple of things would make that site more appealing to me (apart from the colour scheme which comes down to a matter of taste): a search function to quickly find products I need and overview pages that show the price at the stage when you see multiple related products.

    For now no item jumped out and shouted "buy me". Has anyone purchased other items yet? What do you recommend? Any rare and exciting product, any great value deal?

          no we didnt do track and trace on these because of the cost, but we have found some of the orders from Brisbane are shipped by Aust Post to a another Aust Post dispatch centre and then shipped from their to the destination, this adds a day or 2 onto the delivery. One member has told us this is because Aust post sometimes outsource the deliveries to other carriers if its cheaper, if its rural or semi rural or not on a standard route etc. But come Monday if its not there we will just do plan B, I will make sure you get your torch asap. cheers

    Hi Guys
    I have got all 5 of those requests, and am in the process of organizing delivery bags for tomorrows run. Just quickly please make sure that an AA battery is inserted , with the positive terminal first. You unsrew the cap at the rear of the battery just behind the orange starter button to replace the battery. The majority of member's have done this on autopilot, but we have received a handful of torches that had AAA batteries installed, 4 of them had no batteries installed, as the mebers were under the impression they didnt need batteries or we had already installed the batteries, and 2 had the battery in the wrong way. Just to recap these torches do not come with fitted batteries, you will need to install the AA battery yourself. Now we are getting a handle on inquiries and orders please be rest assured if you have received a faulty torch ( 7 to date ) then you will get a replacement without a doubt. Its just standard procedure to check the default first, especially now as we have had to send back 9 working torches with battery instructions.If in doubt just send me a private message to confirm you are using the right battery and putting it in right Cheers

      Hi rep,

      Just checking are you asking us to send the torch back with a battery in it? Or how do you know that people were making these stupid mistakes?

      Obviously if you test and it's working then you know they did something wrong but you know the specifics.

      It also seems from reading these comments that you may be going over the .5% in faulty torches unfortunately

      • Store RepZINGY @ ZINGY on 27/05/2013 - 21:24

        Hi NotBritishorUK I am not asking that the torch be sent back with a battery in it, We have received a handful of torches that had the wrong battery installed, the battery installed incorrectly, no batteries installed at all and a lens cap unscrewed. I am just asking that a few basics are followed, if it then is a faulty torch then contact us via [email protected] with the subject FAULT. Then we will start the process of retrieving and issuing if need be a working torch. I didnt say these were stupid mistakes, I just politely asked that these few steps be followed and if it still is not working then we will take it from there. If you go back through these posts you will see 7 faulty torches, and Im sure they are faulty, but there might be one or 2 that were just simple mistakes like the other orders we have received then sent back again. I suppose everything is always relative, 7, remembering alot more than 7 were sold. I would love the others to say "got it, great" but lets just get a process in place for late arrivals and faults so that everyone can have the product they paid for. Also there is no need for member's to get themselves into arguments over a torch. I understand 2300 people have 2300 opinions, but arguments on forums never get resolved and youve probably got killer ideas about products and delivery techniques that that we and others would rather hear. I suppose focus on finding other great deals out there and we will focus on emails, and postage packs. Cheers

        • NotBritishorUK on 27/05/2013 - 21:48

          Thanks for your reply. The bit I was not getting is that you say some had no batteries, surely they just screwed the cap back? You may have a way of seeing they hadn't opened them. No need to reply, you are very busy obviously!

          I was the unfortunate who got 2 faulty ones so wondered if you wanted me to leave the batteries in them when I saw your comments

          It was I who called them stupid mistakes, I know you were polite about it.

          Thats fine, I understand now, we knew they had not put any batteries in due to our correspondence with them, in that in both cases 2 member's mistakenly thought the torch came fitted with batteries. They clicked the button, nothing happened, they could not figure out how to unscrew the end cap, so they just presumed the batteries were already fitted and sealed in some way. Honest mistakes, worth a chuckle but honest. Hope this puts us on the same page. Cheers

    We apologize for the delay, here is a full refund , however your product is in the postal system, and should arrive in the next 48 hrs. Hope you accept this gesture in good faith and return to Zingy.com.au one day. Warm Regards

    If I do get a torch I will send money via paypal as I am willing to accept the unexpected delays faced by the seller as posted over these 4 pages, unfortunately the 2 days has turned into 6 days and considering it was in the postal system as stated I am not certain what to think. I am not sure what " your product is in the postal system means", however I would assume it means it has been posted. If this was just an automated response then I can accept that and I am just letting Zingy know. Rest assured if the item arrives within the next few days I will post a message here and send Zingy their money.

      I have also not received either my torch or a reply to my email. Have sent off another email today so fingers crossed.
