So my lighters are about to die...actually left to just 1 $5 lighter that sort of works, so I ordered some new cheap lighters from DX.com

Prices were good...large selection, so I ordered a total of 4 (3 different types).  So I'm waiting for delivery info to be updates, as it will take most likely a couple of weeks.  My last light should hold out that long.

This morning, I got an email saying there was an issue with my order:

Quote:"failed to pass the airline security check as it contains lithium batteries/knives or products that contain liquid"


They are empty lighters...no liquids, lithium batteries or knives...WTF?? 

So instead of air-freight, I'm guessing they will ship from a slow boat from China....I'm guessing the delivery time will be at least several months  Sad

I still don't get this: as it contains lithium batteries/knives or products that contain liquid

they are just 4 empty lighters

I'd cancel the order and by a box of disposable lighters from Costco
