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

Mine also has the large gap. Fortunately, it all lined up well when re-assembled.

Mine is plastic. I don’t think aluminium would be a good idea there.

Oh, I thought the one in DB’s was metal, sorry. it looks like it’s been machined - I take it that it’s nylon then?

Yep, some kind of plastic - mine has machine marks on it also.

UK backers-
FedEx have returned the package to sender AGAIN.
I’m based in the UK, and this time the message said to expect it by the 24th Jan.
I saw there were a few UK based backers who had a message saying it would be delivered by the 23rd (ie today), just wondering if anyone in the UK has received theirs yet (with batteries)?
Has anyone who was due to receive theirs today checked the tracking status?

Tuigali where is the GT being turned back from ?

I think we only have one confirmed receipt in the UK and I’m not sure if they said they had cells or not.

I know of two others (along with me) who have NOT had theirs yet who ordered DHL without cells.

terry b had his delivered by TNT. He ordered his without batteries.

Hopefully, other UK DHL non battery buyers will get theirs in the next few days since they posted the 4th shipment on the 19th (posted on front page). Please let us know here if you get any customs fees.

My GT has arrived a few minutes ago. It’s still in the DHL box. Lumintop put $30 on the invoice. I asked in the google doc to put $22 on the invoice to avoid tax. Everything above $24 will be picked out by DHL. So that’s probably why Thijsco did not have to pay tax and I paid €50

Requirement for any future BLF light: weight must be under 2kg

That s*cks Bozlight! Let us registered shippers to EU pray that Lumintop, as requested many times, will put less than $22 on the boxes :person_facepalming:

I might have just had an attempted delivery OR a person scoping out my house to burgle it later.

Odd guy at my front window peering in. Neighbor took a photo and shouted at the person but they didn’t hang around.

I’ll have to wait til I get home to see if there are any notes through the door. I really hope there is otherwise that’s got me a bit worried.

I just typed basically that and then deleted it lol! (didn’t post it) if they put the wrong value the whole registered debacle will have been for nothing anyway -we may as well have used DHL! :person_facepalming:

Yep. If the invoice is higher than €22 you have to pay. Why the google doc if it's not being used?

Update, mine arrived today by TNT. I had a battery delivery from gearbest from the 4th december, a GT delivery from the 19th and a gas man coming to check the meter which got my neighbour concerned enough to take a photo.

I’m still in the office so cant play yet

I’ve told you yesterday that you will be happy :smiley:

I don#t think the google doc was meant to adjust everybodys invoice individually but to find a compromise on what to put on everybodys invoice, maybe separated by continents.

Great news Chris :slight_smile:
Hopefully LT will get some registered shipments out before the Chinese New Year shuts everything down.

well! guess who was stupid enough to put BOTH carriers in backwards. damn lucky i hadn’t intended to fire her up only because someone recommended evaporating excess thermal grease and i haven’t got the vises to open it up yet… else BLF would have lost one member… at least i’d have gone happily if only for a few seconds lol

The wife hasn’t collected it from the neighbor yet so I can only guess that the TNT delivery today was the GT. I’ve not ordered anything else so it is highly likely. I’ll confirm in ~4hours but i’m 99% certain it is.

It’s not even making it out of HK-both times!

Has anyone from the UK who ordered WITH batteries received theirs yet?
