Just got answer from Neal.
My GT is not shipped yet, he says should be this week.

It’s odd that Neal said all of the last orders got shipped out last week. Apparently “all” doesn’t really mean all. I wonder how many more lights need to be shipped out this week?

There were only about 50 lights that needed to be shipped, one would assume such a small number could have been sent out as one shipment instead of broken up into two.

Thanks for the update. Was worried I had missed it somehow. Have a great day and thank you again.

Check post #1 every day or every other day to see if there is any new news.

Looks like all doesn’t mean all to some people.

I don’t know what to believe now…

At this point, it’s pretty doubtful that only there were only “50 last orders”
I have a bad feeling that all those who haven’t received tracking numbers, myself included, have yet to have their lights shipped.

Until Neal clarifies, I suppose all we can do is sit tight and wait.

I’m still waiting for my second battery carrier that was missing from my order… Hope Neal will reply (I even offered to pay a bit more to solve this quickly). Sucks to have an incomplete GT, I want to play with it while the nights are still completely dark over here.

If you want to use it without the 2nd battery carrier, you could probably make a dummy carrier with cardboard cut and rolled long enough to push the first carrier to make contact with the head. Positive and negative contacts are on the same side of the carrier.

Or you can ask for a short tube.
Perhaps a short tube and second carrier for compensation.

For now I just want a complete light, so a second carrier and the paid for batteries. I can understand that things can go wrong, but things should move forward and get solved. For now the latter doesn’t seem to happen…

Mine took a while to get delivered as well. I never received any shipping notice or tracking info. It just suddenly arrived in 2 packages at the same time (registered). So just wait and see for now. Apart from the real shipping issues and incorrect deliveries.

Good luck on the waiting!

I really like to say thanks to the team once more. It’s a lot of hassle and negativity they endure for the sake of their hobby.
It’s anoying to wait for everyone, I know, I’m in the luxury now that I have the GT at home. But that’s what comes into play in groupbuys. This is not amazon.
This is the most complex groupbuy in terms of money, lights and people involved. Some key members already disappeared during the group buy. They are not employees.

Don’t forget, you only have to wait and than you can all (hopefully soon) just enjoy this great light at a very nice price. The team is sorting out all this bull for months now, and hopefully they will for the next months to come.
Appreciated! :+1:

1149 is the highest number from the second round.

That’s me.

That is news to me. I will bring this up to Neal when I talk to him.

I finally got a short reply last night, not much information though but hopefully he is coming back online.

I am going to spell things out for him very clearly and see if we can sort this stuff out.

All I will say at this point is he is on probation. If he doesn’t start doing things the way they need to be done, which includes keeping in contact, then other options will be sought.

Just saw that my GT arrived in London last night. I guess that’s good news for us UK residents!

[Dydi92]

Still no signs of my light after it was sent back to LT 3 times in late January (DHL shipping), at this point after seeing most of the orders and even the ones that had theirs sent back just like mine delivered in the UK i’m pretty sure my light was never sent again or just got delivered to the wrong address.
I’m fine with waiting but I just got to say that I really hope things will get sorted out for me and for the rest of us that are still waiting :weary:

Also thanks a lot for the hard work you’ve been doing TA we all know it’s getting harder and harder for you and I hope you can still keep it together with all this chaos !

Hi,
Is there anybody else who haven’t received the head or battery carrier shipped by malaysian post ( registered mail)?

I am asking this because I got 2 battery carriers and 1 head on 21.2 and they where shipped 11.2. Now I am missing one head which was also shipped 11.2 and after the first tracking notice there havent been any update???
