Tell Us When Your GT Arrives (or is on the way)! [Formerly: BLF GT DHL Delivery Logistics Discussion]

Great news the US DHL GT’s are on it’s way and close for some. Just heard from Neal the European GT’s with registered shipping will be send out in January, with and without batteries. No clue about the DHL shipments for Europe.

Boz, any mention of U.S. shipments w/batteries, by chance?

Does this include those with batteries too?

Mine was picked up in Hong Kong yesterday, and it is in Boston (about a 3 hour drive) right now

I’ve asked Neal, no answer yet.

I got one of these Pelican 1610 coming today from amazon to protect it. They had a special for 139.99 a couple days ago, so I’m sure they go a lot less than this. This is prob a little overkill, but I’ve waited over a year for this light and like to take care of my lights. I hope to get a second GT when that time comes, so there’ll be room for that.

Use a short-bladed knife (or none) if you want to avoid cutting into the interior BLF GT box. It is a tight fit inside the outer carton. I got lucky.

Here are a few photos to get everyone excited again:

Some quick comments:

The packaging is nice. The lens had a protective plastic film on it. My reflector is flawless and clean. The threads are super smooth. The lanyard attachment was already installed in the tripod hole. :partying_face:

FWIW, I signed up for email notification with DHL. At 09:15 I got an email that said “delivered, signed for.” I opened the front door and the box was on the porch. I never heard the doorbell or even the DHL truck.

“Congratulations!” and “Thank You!” to GT-Team, Lumintop, and Neal! :+1:

That’s awesome. Glad it arrived safe and sound. Congrats! Thank you for the quick review.

I have a pelican 1450 for my EDC and I bought the Apache 3800 from Harbor Freight and it’s almost identical. I think it should be perfect (hopefully)

My friend’s GT also arrived today. He stopped by and I couldn’t resist taking a few more photos.

The GT-Dumbbell weighs 7 lb 13 oz (3.54 kilos) loaded with 8 cells.

Yes, we turned both heads on. :partying_face:

I cut a circle from an expired credit card to keep the two carriers insulated from each other.

[lawallac]

Yep I keep some of my most favorite lights in Pelicans because they are that good. I’ve tested them on the river, underwater, and with a cell phone in them too. No leaks. But I have two of the original Defts, one with the original OMG lumens pelican. In another Pelican case I keep a Firefox III and Firefox IV HID, and in another I keep a couple of my most favorite lights, the Neosekian Legion IIs modded with WW xm-l2 emitters. The Pelican 1610 could prob fit all of those other cases, and it’s got wheels and a pull handle, lol. It’ll be interesting if it’s as big in person as I am expecting. I know it won’t be the tallest but it may be the heaviest of my lights. We’ll see soon!
