This is my own little unofficial list just to figure out how Neal is doing things.
This is the latest “rough” list of people from the 3rd shipment who have either got tracking notices or received their light. These are all international orders and only DHL as far as I have seen.
(These are paid list numbers, not sign up numbers)
What Bozlight29 said is not true. Several people in this most recent shipment got shipping notifications/tracking numbers. Just go back and read and you will see.
I think what he meant to say was that this 3rd shipment is a mix of people getting that info and not getting it. Basically, not all the people in the 3rd shipment got tracking numbers. They just showed up.
I think you are set for registered mail. I don’t believe any of these have shipped yet. So we have to wait and see if all registered packages get sent tracking numbers or what exactly.
Nope, I just didn’t proof-read my post…
It was 11th Jan, Last week.
I have done this a few times lately - my brain telling me I need a holiday!
I thought I posted when I received the DHL notification, but not when it arrived.
Although, if you didn’t see it, I may have got distracted and not submitted it.
From this last shipment so far, only 29 out of 138 people posted that they got tracking or that their light has arrived. All these folks are DHL and international. So where are the other 107? Maybe registered packages that are still enroute? We don’t really know. It’s possible I suppose. Registered mail packages have to ship sometime.
That’s not accurate. Some people have got tracking codes in this third shipment.
As far as professional goes, I don’t know. This is a group buy, not a retail purchase from an online store. (Even then I sometimes get no tracking data :rage: ) I’ve heard of other group buys where no one got any info at all. No shipping updates, no tracking codes, no paid lists, etc… and everyone got their light. So I guess it’s all relative.
Off the top of your head do you know if any tracking information was sent out by Neal or Lumintop, or are they relying on DHL to send messages to everyone? From memory I’ve only seen people mention they’ve had messages from DHL so far.
If you were a moderator, how would you not have 15k posts?
I can think of a few times where people bicker that I would like to delete as it’s useless info. We would still have 14,800 posts, though.
Would it be fair to delete posts that are not directly related to the GT? I don’t think so. Then it starts feeling like we are being controlled.
The only moderator here is the forum owner sb56637. As far as I know he has only deleted one post which was a joke that was somewhat slanderous to the forum and it’s reputable members. That’s all I know of. It really is up to us to moderate ourselves.
Luckily this thread will get getting slower and slower as people get their lights. It will fade out like the Q8 thread did.
I have only heard DHL shipments. Even when the old paid list said registered, it was a case where the person changed it to DHL later on.
I really don’t know about the tracking numbers. I personally got a text message from DHL. I’d need to do a search in by his thread to go back and see what people said. I just don’t have time for that right now. Maybe some people that got tracking info can post specifically where it came from.
And wouldn’t expect you to, it is a time consuming task hence why I’m not doing it myself. Just seems od if they’re not supplying the tracking (waybill) number as they get shipped out. Granted I’ve never had to deal with booking hundreds of packages though DHL so I’m not sure how much of a task that would turn out to be.
If the shipping information is being pulled from Paypal at purchase then I’d strongly recommend everyone to check their contact information before paying, namely mobile numbers but of course making sure everything else is correct too.
Controlled… sounds a bit… anarchist… It’d be half that amount… with a a few side threads in the off topic forum.
Self moderation = (apparently) a S* ton of irrelevant posts that make it harder to find nuggets of info. Which in turn leads to people posting and asking about stuff covered pages before.
Hey, most of you like it, but it doesn’t mean it makes this thread any easier to sift through…
