Dear DoNkEyConN,
Again we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We got the new information form the manufacturer, the item should be back in stock soon and we expect to ship on date Nov 25.
We will send you a shipping confirmation email once the item is shipped out to you.
We have submitted a large order with the manufacturer, they attempt to supply the goods on time. We have urged the manufacturer to expedite delivery and the item will be in stock again soon. Once it is in stock, we will ship it for you in time. Please wait with more patience.
I don’t think it is personal thing.
Nowadays similar product ordered from similar website can be in different warehouse, different shipper, different country custom declaration and process/restriction, etc.
From what I’ve read, Australia has strictest check on import goods, sellers definitely are more careful or even reluctant to ship to Australia if they have bad experiences before.
The problem is that they have this FL on stock (836 pcs) but they don’t despatch it.
My order is open from 30.10., I’m sure older orders are still not despatched.
I got mine. Wow! I am very very impressed. Material quality is as good as my PD32 UE. Initial imppression is very high quality built. NW is rosy and nice. It does step down from flare after 30s, I think it should because it is really heating up fast, good thermal transfer from LED inside.
I hope Zanflare sells plenty and come out more quality flashlight.
Edit: Further comparison shows that NW is a bit greenish.
Ordered October 30th. Yesterday it moved from processing to shipped. It’ll probably be the better part of two weeks before it gets to me.
They provided a tracking number, but, as with past uses of the same shipping method, it shows the light will ship from California. Which I assume means that they’ve shipped boxes containing many orders from China, which will be opened and shipped domestically once they arrive.
I can’t belive, my F1 from 30.10. is packed :+1:
Just ordered new F1, one already arrived.
I think I will soon have big F1 collection , one for each day in week.
