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

+1

I am trying to get tracking numbers, Trust me, I will let ya’ll know as soon as I hear anything about them, or anything else for that matter.

Also, just so everyone can have advanced notice. If this thread starts blowing up again with pages for me to catch up on each day during the China new years celebration where I can NOT get any new information or really do much of anything anyways, I will ask for the thread to be closed until the holiday is over.

I just can’t spend that amount of time going over issues that I can not possibly address for a few weeks. Not to mention I would forget most of them anyways.

Along these same lines, I am not able to keep up with everyone’s issues by any means right now. If you still have an unresolved issue, please remind me around the end of the month and I will try to get an update on them. Till then there is nothing I can do.

This last week has been great, virtually no fighting, short and sweet posts. Lets try to keep this going, please? :slight_smile:

Thanks Steve! I haven’t had time to be on here much… miss seeing your great work!!!

I hope one of 185 x GT is for me :slight_smile:

I don’t understand why you want to close the thread. People who are interested in shipping information certainly aren’t the only people checking in on the thread. I get you don’t like to answer the same questions with the same answer but it seems weird to me to cut off all conversation here because of it. It just seems at odds with what the blf is to me, a place to freely converse and explore this incredible hobby. As long as there is no angry or disrespectful discord I think it’s fine. Just my two cents! Guys understand that TA has nothing further to add at this time. When he does we will be the first to know. Now, that being said, I would like some beamshots and anecdotes and this amazing beast of a light!
Cheers!

I agree, I would rather leave it open as well, but if it starts devolving into pages and pages of arguments like it has many times in the past, there is really no other option.

Right now it is fine, I just wanted people to give people a heads up of what could happen.

:+1:

I was nbr. 3 on the first 500 list and live in Europe. Netherlands, to be precise.
I have not heard from Neal and wonder if my light has been shipped now?

Over 90% of lights have been shipped now, that is all I know at the moment.

OK, no worries then.

Tension and anticipation are rising :wink:

Would be a tremendous surprise - coming home in the afternoon and finding this package has been delivered! :slight_smile:

Grtz
Nico

probably 2 :wink:

Also still waiting…

One from the first group and one from the second group…heard nothing yet.

Hope for some information who still havent got notification.

The quote below from TA is the latest information.

As TA has also said a few posts above this…… He does not expect to get any more information until the end of the month, after Chinese NY.

IF/When he does get more info it will be shared. There is nothing more that can be said.

Finally got mine in Australia. Selected DHL but it was delivered by TNT. No complaints really, speed was comparable, just didn’t get notification it was on its way.

Having said that, ANY issues I had with shipping and delays were quickly forgotten once I opened the GT. They really have done a fantastic job.

Great work and thanks to the GT team and lumintop!

Wow, surely that wasn’t shipped out the day before, was it? Maybe Neal shipped some out on the 8th or even the 7th. Anyway, good news.

Sounds about right for ‘most’ DHL or express courier deliveries. Mine came from HongKong to my door in Alabama, USA in less than 48 hours.

Glad you got it. :+1:

Depending on the destination and origin it could be there next day, depends entirely on how many stops between the manufacturer and the destination. Entirely possible it was done within that timeframe though.

Thanx for that information! i always used 17track.net before i saw you mentioned TrackChecker, and this app is just amazing, i'll save a lot of time with it and it's really cool to have a nice organisation of all your tracking numbers.

For the main subject here, the BLF Gt is really impressive, i watched some videos of AdventureSportFlashlights, and seeing this BLF GT light some stuff so far away was unbelievable. really nice work on this flashlight, like usual with all the BLF projects. :THUMBS-UP:

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for this beast.

I just received my BLF GT carry bag and lens cap from the deal that Neal has going now.

Both work very well and the quality is good.

The bag has very little room for extra stuff and the light is a nice fit.

The lens cap stretches over the lens very snuggly.

I think the deal is great for US$25.

No that shipping to AUS was earlier, those 185 haven’t moved yet, they all have shipping notification but will start moving tomorrow on Monday…
CNY will affect probably all of them even DHL, so patient is crutial at this point, and most important is that things are rolling, we are no more stuck and waiting for shipping solution!!
Packages are sent out to 90+ % of first 850 orders and that is great achievement !

Big thanks to the team and all our Chinese friends who worked so hard for making all this possible.
Wish you all happy Chinese New year :smiley:
