Another cautionary tale about Chinese 'stores'.They are sometimes impossible to pin down.
I had articles returned to an ebay store through a fault of my own with my PO box and when I contacted them to find out if they had received them back I was told that they wouldn't. That they had no idea where they would be returned to since they were just the sellers. Not the owners. Not the suppliers. Just the sellers. So there is no hope of tracking it.
Looking at the address of the sender and getting it translated from Chinese I found that it was a retirement fund for a small group of workers in a factory. Who couldn't help either, since they didn't know anything about the business end.
A set of macro ext tunes, a ring light, and a remote for the camera, all written off.
But I take heart from your story about the ring light Lewis. I expect it was never going to be high quality.
I think with Chinese tech you have to go with the closest you can get to Brand names. Some have 'crossed over' to near respectibility and are being reviewed in western press, like Yongnuo, and Meike. And consequently pay the extra. Although that is rapidly approaching a parity price with Nikon/Canon/Pentax prices.
