[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Yes, none of this is leading anywhere good.

There is positively nothing that can be done at this point besides waiting for the reflectors to be made.

I at least am not worried and in no hurry receiving the light. :slight_smile:

I felt that I needed to responded on a post that stated that people upset about the shipping order were just being negative. I did not agree and was trying to explain why, while at the same time still being enthousiastic about the GT-project, some disappointment in how shipping goes is understandable.

No need to get upset :slight_smile:
We are all going to get what we paid for :slight_smile:

But after some time you just have to write down what bothers you…

I believe people would be more calm with more information.

I agree that those that have not received the lights have a right to be disappointed, I am disappointed that it is taking this long myself.

Hard to say how high it goes, but You cant see the column from 300 feet down the street due to the fog

Nice photo! :+1:

I was looking for Darth Vader :smiling_imp:

Nice picture justanotherguy……… :+1:

I wish next payment for new orders are done only after everyone from first and second batches who paid in last December got their lights or at least got notification by DHL, Fedex or Neal with tracking number to confirm.
Lumintop can continue to produce BLF GT even though orders are not in. They should not be worried as the interest of GT is still very high.
Just my thought.

We are barking up the wrong tree. The Team has nothing to do with the order of shipping. They have done a spectacular job, yet they receive lots of unearned criticism.
It is the people at Lumintop responsible for the shipping or anyone else they have hired for managing the shipping who is causing this mess. Still, I think this is just a bad misunderstanding and not a sign that people from Europe and the rest of the world are second class customers. I am sure the Team will try to prevent this in all future group buys.

Well….7 weeks since I’ve paid and still no tracking number, can’t blame the dev team though, very disappointing compared to how nicely the Q8 shipped.

This is one of the most anticipated lights I’ve ever ordered and easily the worst delivery experience I’ve ever had, let’s hope that Lumintop are learning from this.

Where is the sign up for this bag?? Can’t seem to find any replies for this question.

Thanks Donk!

Yeah for us South Americans its a lot of money, here in brazil the cost of GT its amost 1/3 minimum wage and 3.5x the price in U$…… I´m VERY worried without tracking code, the packet could be lost, stolen, arrives and taxed and with that condition it have a time until I have to pay the time stocked and the worst…. Send back to sender :person_facepalming:

I have been blessed by God to have conditions to spend in lights even more expensive like my TN40S and other things not too important to live while many others are “falling apart” here and not have the little amount of GT to spend in food in the entire of month. This make me give more respect for my money and I understand if few peoples think it is only another pretext to “make another random rant :confounded: ”, but I have to tell this, this is I’m feeling :weary:

I understand what Texas Ace told about the team have no control about it, I have only thanks the team about the project and the effort spend in this, but I’m disapointed with Lumintop crew about the “secret” and ambiguous way those lights are shipped and notificatios comes (IF comes) :cry:

For many here the tracking code could be some “frill”, for me its crucial!

I am from Argentina, and I fully understand your situation, because it is the same as mine, it does not bother me at all the shipping time, but the shipping information is absolutely necessary, as well as the companion g-sintornillos, greetings !!

I just received my BLF GT here in Sydney Australia at 5:15pm Oz time.

It was delivered by TNT and there was no notification that it was coming.

WOW this thing is really BIG!

Yes the beam is yellowy similar to the beam in my DEFT X.

I was in the second list after 555.

DHL with batteries, TNT delivered.

Go figure.

Thanks to all the team for producing such a big and beautiful thrower.

A big thank you to Lumintop as the finished product looks so good.

Was this a light that was shipped on the 9th or the 19th?
I’m guessing TNT is a local delivery service?

I am surprised to see so many people thought logistics companies don’t co-operate on shipping.
I used to see that from time to time, stuffs got delivered to me not by DHL but with a big DHL label on the box.

The shipping date was the 19th January.

No… TNT is global.
