No, it was a combination of providing on-line delivery instructions (e.g. front door, side door, etc) and printable form. No DHL Account Number required. It also auto populates the delivery address. I'm a bit concerned about mine because the State portion says "S", instead of "SC".
EDIT: Repurposed thread. Just a temporary spot to have fun and celebrate as we await our GT's. Sounds like quite a few folks will have them in hand by tomorrow night. Charge your batteries!
On Dec 27th I received the DHL notice that my BLF GT had shipped, and that it shipped on Dec 28th! Made me
(Yes, I understand that China is across the international date line. Mine shipped at 1am China time, which is still the day before when I received the text.)
Now ~32 hours later it seems to be in Cincinnati, Ohio and cleared by customs.
Hmm Mine is in the first batch, no batteries and still no notification, while I can understand sending them out by country batches I thought that the first 555 batch was being sent first, it seems that there are people in the second batch with their lights on the way <—- if I am wrong then I’ll blame frustration
Hmm. Last time I signed digitally on DHL’s site and they left the package. There was no print out or anything like that.
The day before delivery they sent a text, something like ‘package scheduled for delivery… signature is required… manage delivery at:’ and then followed up with a specific link to ‘delivery.dhl.com’
Following that link there were a bunch of different options, pretty much anything you could want to request in order to best receive the package.
IIRC, last time I checked the latest list, there were (edit/recount) 270 orders being shipped DHL, that had batteries ordered at the same time. Is that enough for a full pallet? No clue.
I thought about ordering just the flashlights, then buying the batteries stateside, then I figured the savings combined made it more worthwhile, so I ordered the package deals instead.
I'm definitely not in a big rush, but it would be nice to see the original thread unlocked, so team members that do have contacts and/or info pertaining to the topic, can post, to let us all in on what's going on. If anything
