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

It simply hasn’t shipped yet.

nothing yet. I am worried about mine because when i sent my payment + donation, i didn’t even receive a notification or tracking… (I don’t even know where it was shipped from, or even it if was shipped. All i have is the Paypal transaction, which has the 180-day claim protection if it don’t show up. It shows where the payment was sent & date, (a month ago) but that’s all.

This is all correct and normal. You won’t get a shipping notification or tracking number until it actually ships.

I got tracking when it landed in the states

A tracking number is automatically available when a shipping label is created (that’s when the package gets in the hands of DHL), not when it actually ships or moves.

Mine became available after DHL Hongkong received it.

Of course it adds up if you have been keeping up with any Updates.

  • You are #433 on the paid list. (first 555 list)
  • You are in Canada.
  • None have shipped to Canada yet

What is not to understand?

I’ve seen mass confusion on shipping for group buys of ~30 people for much simpler projects than this. I am amazed by you guys; A

Keep in mind that we tried to do the payments about 2 weeks before they actually shipped to give Neal time to match up the orders to the down payments and get all the paperwork done. Then the first production samples, sent to testers mid Dec, uncovered can error in the driver flash settings and the wrong switch covers used. So the 200 or 300 hundred lights that were ready to ship had to be taken apart by hand to swap the switch covers and reflash the drivers.

So then Christmas hit and the first shipment of 164 lights went out on the 27th. A second shipment of 194 lights went out on Jan 3rd. These first two shipments were pallets to the usa. This was for cost reasons.

Anyway, another shipment is going out later this week.

Also keep in mind that these giant reflectors are slowing down the production speed to about 200 lights per week.

As with any group buy, there are no hard set dates for shipping or delivery. These GT’S are coming right off the factory floor to customers. It’s just gonna take time before everyone gets theirs.

Great GT Resource from ’Team-Giggles’………

DHL says I should get mine today. :smiley:

Received mine today with batteries. Thought they might have forgotten to include, but they are stored in the battery carriers. Very quick shipping. I think I received my notice from DHL only 2 days ago. Probably helps that one of the customs hubs is in Ohio.

One thing to note to those with batteries. You’ll need to pull off the insulator stickers on the neg end. The stickers can leave a residue, so make sure to wipe it all off. I had a couple issues with the charger not detecting them until I realized what the problem was. All my batteries measured exactly 3.47V as well.

Mine got delivered today but I have to wait til I’m off work to witness the glory. Of note is that I received zero notification that the light was shipping, I was lucky that someone was there to sign for it. I got one light with batteries and am located in the upper left corner of America (Washington State).

Mine arrived with batteries….Whoo-Buddy!

Got the yellow tape removed off the cute lil pink batteries and charging them up.

I predict a light show tonight~ No water tower is safe

Kudos to DHL…class outfit

My light just came! No really, I was walking past my front door when I looked out my window to see the DHL van slowly driving past the house. Oh no! Could it be? I became a little anxious, as I did not receive a shipping confirmation nor a tracking number! I opened the door and there it was! I could not help but “giggle” as I unboxed the light. I showed the light to my 10 yr. old son who said, ” Holy Cow! That reflector is as big as my face!” Hahaha! Charging the batteries now… Thank you BLF Team!

Mine arrived in Alabama today. 2 days from HongKong.
Left HongKong yesterday the 4th, arrive at my house in Alabama (USA) today the 5th.
GT’s with batteries. Lightening fast shipping! Thanks DHL……

I see you got it. I just wanted to double check, you got sent yours because your a team member, right?

So far it’s just the 2 usa orders that shipped?

If you ordered a BLF-GT, have no DHL tracking info, and were in the first 555 orders, CLICK THIS

Tracking received for both my orders.

I'm in USA, West coast

Do you have an email or phone number on your PayPal account? That’s where DHL should send your tracking info. Then again, they may have mistakenly not sent your info.

Yes I do. Paypal notified me of nothing, yet.

My first package departed Hong Kong Jan 3

Just FYI. I received my light this afternoon ~ 2:30 pm Central Time. Shipping label said it left Hong Kong on 30 Dec 17. I received no tracking number from DHL or email from Neal saying it was on the way. I followed the instructions to the letter. I am not complaining! It was a great surprise when I saw the DHL van! Just want others to know so they may be less anxious.
ARsee nice work with the DHL hotline… this should help a few members out for sure. Enjoy your GT!
