[PART 2] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Closed, but Public sales open!

There is a massive difference between them selling a few reflectors outside of the GB and them lying about the reflector shortage completely. Even your own argument is based on there being a shortage.

Your posts like to word it that they are lying, which that are not.

We all know they have sold some outside the GB. That was never in debate.

I guess the people that are in the 3rd batch GB is not going to receive PM anytime soon. Its almost the end of March.

Well, we could rush the PM’s and risk making some of the same mistakes as last time or we can spend the time needed to fix the issues from last time, learn from them and then hopefully not repeat them next time.

I vote for the latter option.

Plus since we are still limited by the reflector production rate it would not really speed up the actual shipping times anyways.

Luckily thread is not locked again.
Most materials of GT are big size, so its material shortage problems are real to me. Any supplier can’t deliver the part on time and with good quality, it would/will cause delay. Very simple.

Agreed. Hopefully, everything will be settled down soon.

He says he will let them send next week

:laughing:

That is true I know Lumintop did sell a lot to a person in South Africa. He selling it now for $700 plus with batteries included. Convert back to rand will give you around R8900.

Don’t you mean he’s trying to sell it for $700? It seems very unlikely anyone would actually buy it for that price.

I guess it’s a compliment that the quality of the light is high enough that someone might think it’s worth that much money.

Is there a really bad currency exchange rate there? Is $700 there really like $300 in the USA? I have no idea when it comes to South Africa.

700 Rand is about 60 Dollars

“selling it now for 700USD”
The “USD” parts means US dollars.

Color me dumb, but I assumed they have their own currency. Do they use USD there?

Has someone already done the conversion? Assuming they use Rand, Maybe he’s asking 8,166 Rand for a GT?

I dont really care, I’m just passing time. :stuck_out_tongue:

44 days in transit and still no tracking update, just one date for everything wat is happened til now (2018-02-11)

Just be a few more time patient and I will claime my money back via PayPal.

Never seen this before, this is criminal or amateurish

No offence for the BLF team, they did a great job.

You are not the first person to describe the postal system as such. Lol

Not only the postal system in this case Jason :wink:

I group the Customs Dept in with the “postal system”.

Once it leaves Lumintop, it is out of LT and Neal’s hands. We are at the mercy of the postal system.

How do you know he has a lot? Maybe he has a few in stock and high order quantity will need to be shipped from Lumintop directly.

Let’s have a conspiracy theory. If he can get big customer for example military to buy 100 GT at USD650 per piece, Lumintop should serve that order first. I personally will look down Lumintop if they don’t serve that order first. I hope Lumintop earn more money outside this GB or any future GB, so that Lumintop becomes long term GB partner producing high quality flashlight. Smart partner is better than stupid partner.

Neal asked me about the method of delivery on March 21, and after that again silence :frowning:

UPD Neal answered me)

Lumintop sold many GT anywhere, but didn’t perform GB obligations. Nice.
