Tracking notices are coming in for the 4th shipment saying it will ship on the 19/20th. This should be a mix of USA and international orders. Lights are expected on the 23rd, but some are already being delivered to Australia. FedEx and TNT are also being used. More news to come.
in my case I got a sms from DHL (Hong Kong?) to pay 50 euro. I wonder what happened with the google doc I filled in with 22 dollar inclusive shipping. That’s not on the package I guess. I think there’s 25 dollar on the package, and DHL takes an extra amount for shipping.
50€??? Sounds very much…
Tax and DHL charge for Their service???
In Germany we have to pay DHL charge for their service (min. 12,50€) and on top 19% vat (value of goods + shipping).
So maybe aprox. (100€ ($111) + 12,50€) * 0,19 = 21,50€.
If shipping is not declared separate, DHL charges min. about 35€ shipping on top for shipping China to Germany.
So maybe aprox. (135€ + 12,5€) * 0,19 = 28,00€.
Some German members paid 38 euro, I saw an invoice somewhere in this thread. But how they account 50 euro? €14,50 admin costs DHL, €3 vat over admin costs, €32 vat over GT and shipping.
Last time in Germany, I could pay at my front-door at the parcel deliverer.
EDIT:
Just got a privat message.
Maybe Admin costs for DHL express are more expensive, about 28€.
so 50€ might be ok for flashlight with batteries and all charges an VAT.
Wow, i would expect yours would be delivered soon.
I paid quite late. around the 28th of December, no batteries, DHL x 2. So I guess there is a possibility I’ll be waiting till the next shipment…… really hope not tho.
I only got my PM to pay on the 2nd December. I paid about an hour after the PM and thought I’d be front of the list. Didnt know more had gone out prior. I feel less special now.
I got mine today, Brisbane (Aus)
It was actually delivered by TNT as well.
And when I say delivered, I mean they left a slip in my mailbox saying they “tried to deliver it” yet I was home all day within a few meters of the front door….so I had to go collect from a depot :rage:
So how many people on the 555 list have the flashlight been delivered?
That’s something what I want to know. Because For me It’s already 7 weeks ago I am now in week 8 that’s 2 months :weary:
