Can it be believed?

With all of these orders, there are bound to be some mistakes along the way. Can’t say I am surprised. I am sure Neal will sort it out.

If you have not payed extra fees and taxes in the Customs,send it to me please,as I also am in EU.I think we can manage it with Neal.
Of course I have payed at 2/12/2017.

Received mine today. Ordered with batteries but there was none with the package. What should I do?

While the pipe wrench below will no doubt do the job…. be sure to use plenty of padding between the bezel & the chain if you use it.

Here is a strap wrench to consider.

And a link to images of more strap wrenches…

I have yet to manage to open the head to adjust the centering ring, as it is on too tight.
The hotspot seems to be very far from a perfect circle so it might actually affect throw in this case, still thinking of how to remove this oversized head with whatever I have at home.

For those that have done so, any tips?

Just a thought… Use a large rubber band with a large pipe wrench. The Rubber Band protects the surface and also provides extra grip. The Pipe Wrench I am talking about is the one with the chain…

Zip Ties may also fill in for a similar “tool”

Off-centered LED. Wondering why the hole in the centering ring is so much larger than the LED, does that not defeat it’s purpose.

I’m thinking that loosening and retightening the head might solve this, but I cannot get into the head, it’s on to tight, any suggestions?
The tailcap ring is also really tight, and someone a few pages back suggested it might be due to a pinched o-ring, but I am unable to unscrew the piece under the lumintop logo too.

That definitely doesn’t look as close to the LED as the one DB Custom posted back in post 13277. I hope this is an isolated case and the quality control hasn’t started to drop off, that would be a real shame especially since there are a lot still to go.

Got mine this morning with batteries. Centering and reflector both look great. Now for darkness…

[chrisc]

Just unboxed mine.

It’s BIG.

Just a single spec of dust inside the reflector

Just received the GT with batteries at long Island NY (978).

DHL said mine was with the delivery courier (in another city about 3 hours away) about an hour ago. Scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day today. Originally it was scheduled for tomorrow.

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

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:

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

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.

The default value for the DHL packages is $25 USD.

The default value of each registered mail package is $14.99 USD.

The Google document in post #1 (Customs Declaration Survey) is for people who would like to set their own values on their own packages.

I don’t know what happened in Bozlight29’s case. He asked that his be changed to $22, but it got changed to $30 instead. More investigation is needed to see what went wrong here.

I sent email to Neal asking him if my flashlight was sent to me (no. 116 on the list).

If he will not reply in few days (most likely) I will probably open paypal dispute. I just want information if flashligh was sent or not.
If he can’t provide this info, paypal dispute will be open. I paid on 2.12.17, today we are 23.1. and still no info if and when GT will arrive.

The problem is also that many which are on the list much later 600, 700, 800+ already got FL.

My patient is running out - 150+ $ (cells included) is not small amount for me.

[vestureofblood]

That “Control F” thing to search for you name in the list is a neat trick… Vesture has 2 more lights with his name on them still!!!

There is no need to open a PayPal dispute. Just do what TA (Texas_Ace) posted earlier this morning…… Ask for a refund. He said they would be more than happy to give it to anyone who wanted one.
