Also just a thought, is Tuigli”s light one with batteries as I think that the 2 UK ones received so far are without batteries ?
My thoughts would be that if you are going to mark UK lights as being $50 dollars you may as well change all UK registered parcels to DHL at the same time as fees are going to be incurred & we may as well get the light quickly & pay fees rather than wait 4-6 weeks for registered delivery & pay fees.
Just my thoughts & opinion & I am only speaking for myself of course.
I received my light via TNT invoice was marked $25 I guess Chrisc and myself can count ourselves lucky with no other charges involved
Yes terry b was the other member & it was TNT not Fedex, my mistake, I knew it wasn”t DHL.
Both without batteries ?
Did you get any notice beforehand, or did it just appear on your doorstep?
I’m in NZ, but I’m hoping that’s close enough to Oz that mine got shipped as well.
I believe TNT is a subsidiary of FedEx-still a bit strange how they are letting some through.
Also, I don’t pretend to have a detailed understanding of how customs operate, but my light is not even making it to the UK-it is being sent back before leaving HK!
Hi,
what´s about the changed shippings from registered to DHL.
Does they will been shipped out with the registered mails, last?
Or is there a chance to get it with DHL next time.
I had message some days ago, Neal will change shipping for me, but at the moment still no shipping information / trackingnumber or something like this.
I´m very impatiently 
.
I want this light, it´s so great…
We are not told why.
I’m not understanding your question. The 3rd batch of people to pay has not happened yet. Texas_Ace will delay their purchase until he sees fit. He wants all the current orders to be shipped out first.
Thank you for your answer. I will wait for few more weeks. I hope I will get it February.
I already sernt Neal na email but he does not answer. I belive this is nothing new. :cry:
Thank you
Kind regards
I know there are a few other threads have been started for different topics but I don’t know where or for what so I’ll just ask here,
Does anyone happen to know what the GT’s overall total weight is with cells…??
And for the funny wise guys/gals, I know heavy, but I’m thinking in lbs or kilo’s would be real helpful,
Thank You, and if there is a link to a technical thread I’d appreciate it, I think this thread is mostly shipping issues,
@T18, have a look here:
BLF GT official support thread [FAQ updated 11 Jan 2018]
Mine arrived today was not home at the time, I was in the 2nd batch 896.
Batteries where in the same box light looks sensational.
cheers…
Ah OK. So all requests with a number below 771 are in the first batch? And from this first batch the expedited shipping lights are being shipped first and after that the registered mail lights are handled. It will not be the case that people from the second batch (with a request number > 770) and expedited shipping will have their lights shipped earlier than the people from the first batch using the registered mail option?
For me, I’m originally registered shipping but sent PM a few days ago asking to change to DHL/TNT/FEDEX, this value would be ok if my order is changed to courier, not registered.
There must be more UK orders we’ve not heard about, either arriving or not arriving.
I don’t think the standard procedure for disputed value is to send the package back to the sender, I’m assuming you’re asked for proof of payment….
It just arrived, no notice.
I took the tracking number from the box, stuck it into TNT’s site, and discovered that mine was sent from Lumintop on the 19th of Jan - if yours happens to be in the same batch, it can’t be far away.
Just a few sadly……… the trouble is they haven’t exactly thought about it - it’s sent in a box with ‘blf gt’ slapped all over it , and then a huge invoice on top, which should read say ‘flashlight parts’ or something, not ‘blf gt flashlight’ they didn’t have to be so specific, ie, reveal the make/model at worst just ‘flashlight’ would have sufficed.
You only have to type blf gt in to google and you find the price on here or elsewhere, worse still you can find the higher price……or even the final sale price.
Customs aren’t stupid, it’s their job after all.
I think when re sending, wrap them in paper maybe? I know it’s an ask, but they stand a better chance. I guess it’s only a few lights, 100?
Also in previous group buys, I seem to remember registered lights being shipped via the Netherlands (I presume Netherlands post), which seemed to work.
Well, this answers my earlier question ([PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping. - #16588 by R.D).
Might I ask when you made the final payment for the light?
Have fun with the light! Can’t wait to get my hands on mine

I don’t work in customs but I’d assume they would have access to the carriers databases like account numbers and such, if it’s been big enough and noticed by customs I wouldn’t be surprised if their entire account is under more review, IF it really is customs getting a hard’on for tax dollars of course.
Got my GT with Batteries to Sydney Australia!
Ok, with the latest news taken into consideration, and the fact I was already starting to get shakey (I think I’d use it like 10 times, then it would be an expensive shelf queen)…. I’d like to ask for a refund please, who is it I have to ask?
I do not understand why Neal sends someone a second flashlight when someone did not even get the first flashlight !? It hurts :cry:
