I'll bet you WILL be associated with this company. They must notice an uptick in sales due to your blog featuring them. I just ordered a couple.

I’d associate with them if I could, but they don’t offer that kind of affiliate program like Amazon does.:^)
Guess their earning margin is too low given the prices.
The prices (and world wide free shipping) look good so I thought about sharing for those that also look for cheap quality stuff.
Read the EDC forum thread though. Some people aren’t that happy with the shipping delays, product quality, cs, etc.

At least in my situation, the low prices and free shipping are still worth the risk.
Small tip: Make SMALL orders, order a couple batteries, a flashlight the next day, a charger a couple days later, in my experience a small envelope is less likely to get hold up at customs office. Buy things that have very good reputation, lots of junk there as well.

For anyone looking for good brand name flashlights that also have free world wide shipping, check the Fenix Store. (also, not associated with them, just found them and passing along the tip)

If anyone knows of other places with good products, good prices, and preferably free world wide shipping, leave a comment for us less fortunate ones that don’t live in USA :^ )

You can get the same setup for 20$ or so, and save $116! :^p
