Looks like I was too late to cancel my order: although I'm still "Processing" in the system.

I got two large boxes dropped off by Fedex this morning. They do smell of wet cardbosard, but no mold or mildew. Looks like they sent me one set of three boxes containing the usual junk, but substituted other stuff for the other nine boxes (thank God).

My box;


2 PDA keyboards
1 XBox Game Manager
1 Monster tee-shirt (size L)
3 poker watches (all dead)
46 cell phone lights (38 dead)


Aum MCB10 CD/MP3 boombox with AM/FM Radio
2 Microbead pillows
Insectivoro "Kyoto" electric bugcatcher
Radio Shack Talking Road Map
Maxell iPod remote
Altec Lansing iPod Dock
2 Keons
Homedics Massaging Cushion with Micropedic Support
Philips HDMI cable
CaseLogic Satellite Radio receiver case
Line Chaserz
AenGo Notebook Accessory kit
Tools2Go 5-piece multifunction tool set
Linksys Wireless USM print server
Linksys Wireless USM adaptor
Speedo backpack
riderlight wireless brake light system for motorcycles
CD/DVD cleaning wipes
Gemini camera case
5-pack Verbatim DVD+R
Digital Concepts Quick-charger with 4, AA batteries

Thank you to the court for the shag (IS it a shag when the goodies are INSTEAD OF the normal box items and not IN ADDITION TO? I don't care...I'm just happy I didn't wind up with 170+ mostly dead cell phone lights...) At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I wish you had been as thoughtful with all of the other dissatisfied customers.


Hey, they said "no cables". Guess that's way better than the cell phone lights. Are you sure that the 38 are dead? They may take a lot of squeezing and twisting. Not that it makes them any more usable...

Um ok, with what he got he can just throw the lights in the trash and forget about them why would he bother with them?

I tried "pumping" several of them, per the earlier suggestion posted on this list. Don't have the time or incl;ination to dhat to all of them, especially since it didn't really have any effect. However, I can either toss 'em or stick em in a "free: take one" box. They are thankfully moot.

I had been waiting to get my mbs up until a couple of days ago. I have spent several nights (I work them) perusing these boards, and getting worriedConfused . The 15lb box was to arrive todayShhh. I caught 3.5 hours of sleep - as I am going back into work for some OT.

When I got up, I go to look at the front door, and with dread see a box through the frosted decorative paneSick. I wander around a little more, and put my glasses on, and lo and behold - THERE WERE 2 BOXES Exclamation

Yes, I got shagged Applause I hope my wife is happy Dancing Got some interesting things, of which I plan to post about later tonight/early tomorrow, after I get home. Razz

I also posted this in the other thread.

I might add... at first I was very disappointed with my 3x mbs but not so much now.

[B]I got the 15lber of the usual stuff. I actually like the flashlights. If someone wants to ship me theirs, working and non-working (not just the ones that don't work), I'd gladly pay ground shipping. That's better than throwing them in the trash I would think.
I'm not trying to resell or anything like that. I'm giving them away. I've given them to my UPS, FedEx and DSL guys today and they loved them.
I'd gladly give my stacked coupons back to TF if they'd send me some more lights. (hint, hint)

4 Poker watches
48 Cell Phone Flashlights (out of the ones I checked 50% of them were dead)

I must say that I was very disappointed in this box. Hopefully next time will be better.

I think I may be done with MBs forever, what am i supposed to do with 48 lights with only 4 of them working?

But I guess the king is smarter than i thought to have other people pay to throw out complete junk.

Again I have to say, try tightening the screw on the lights before you trash them. On some of them the screw had backed out just enough that the battery doesn't make a good enough contact for the lights to work. That is how I got quite a few of mine to work.

First time posting, third time ordering, so very much a newbie.

My box just shipped, and my weight seems different then what a lot of people are posting, right around 12 pounds. Maybe it means I'll get less lights, won't know for sure until the 7th. It's a fun game nonetheless.
