From China
Went ahead and purchased a NITECORE TINI2 2 x OSRAM P8 500 Lumens USB Type-C Charging Smart Dual-Core Key Light Flashlight SKU: 865054554035 From this online site. I used PayPal and upon looking at my PayPal payment page, I noticed that the sellers name was in Chinese. I immediately went back to their site, and reviewed their information. It described them as making ALL of their LED flashlights, and like others, their location in China was not mentioned. Now, I think most know that China has a notorious reputation for copying and making counterfeit products. Before jumping the gun, I sent this seller a message through their “contact us” page link where I then received a “ticket” in response. That was three days ago and went without reply. My first message asked them to kindly confirm that the product is a genuine OEM original and authentic, brand new, and in-opened. My second message today (three days later), requested them to cancel my order and provide a full refund. As I type this review, I have not heard anything from them. If it’s any constellation, at least I used PayPal which offers buyer protection, although, and presuming that I may one day receive the product, a counterfeit, proving that may not be so easy.
