@Aslan

Neal answered me that gt was not sent, maybe it will be sent next week … If 450 flashlights are already exactly ready, what’s the problem to send me a flashlight? I already cease to understand why lumintop does not send a flashlight! How long can i wait? Why do I hear every week about next week! 4 months are you serious ??? !!! :rage:

Your case is unique, I think they mentioned that they were having trouble finding a good shipping method to your country. They had a big problem with another order to your country and do not want to repeat it.

I’m part of the third buy group just holding back my enthusiasm till I c email

It’s weird how little enthusiasm there is about the announcement that the third batch of PM’S is going out in the next couple days.

Where is everybody?

Are they not subscribed to this new thread?

I read this thread every day. As soon as the round 3 announcement was made I updated some personal info on my PayPal account. I couldn’t be more excited.

[JasonWW]

That reminds me. It is important that everybody have their Paypal account info up to date. Shipping address, your name, email and phone number is all pulled from there.

YES! This is SUPER important. Many of the issues from the last batch were caused be incorrect info and having to update order info after the order was placed.

This time around there will be a $5 fee for any changes to the information after the order is placed.

Also if there are any issues with the shipping or otherwise due to the information not being correct, all associated fees and charges will be the buyers responsibility (there were a few cases of the wrong address being used and the order was returned to lumintop, costing them more then the light just in the combined shipping costs).

If the issue is lumintops fault they eat the cost themselves without an issue.

I Should add this to the OP when I get some time.

Im here, and im very excited. the only negative thing is that it’s starting to get a lot brighter on the evenings over here, so when I’ll get my hands on this light, there will be no darkness. Because I will use it to spot wolves that might be out on the fields. They have seen wolves on the fields where we walk our dog. (Gf is afraid they might attack our dog) im not so sure about that though. So she practically forced me to buy it. (Not complaining though lol)

It might be that with all the delays and mishaps, people may have a hard time trusting these kind of posts. But what do I know.

Your case is unique, I think they mentioned that they were having trouble finding a good shipping method to your country. They had a big problem with another order to your country and do not want to repeat it.

Previously, Neal said that there was no problem with sending. Flashlight will be sent via dhl espress, that is, there are no problems with the delivery to my country.
But then again and again I hear that the flashlight is not sent. Will be shipped later, later, again later …

I will check with him and see. I could have gotten the countries mixed up. I know one of the countries in your area had some issues with customs clearance IIRC.

In my country, the customs threshold is 1000 $ and 50 kg of weight … There should be no problems.

Ok, I must have mixed you up with another place. I will ask Neal when is going on when I talk to him next (it is both the weekend and the middle of the night in China now)

Thank you :+1:

Neal said on 29 Mar that the light was shipped by DHL, but no tracking # yet.

I really wish it would have been sent registered mail. Since it’s going to my folks’ house, I’ll have to pay to have it re-shipped USPS to my APO address.

I’m not complaining much, at least it’ll get done.

Neal still did not have the tracking numbers for the reasons I posted above is the last I heard. As soon as he does he will send them I am sure.

@g_sintornillos

I still not received the DHL tracking code

I will have him check on yours, pretty sure it shipped but he has not gotten the tracking numbers from lumintop yet.

Apparently lumintop uses some sort of forwarding company where they give the shipments to the company, the company then figured out the best shipping method, prints the labels and takes care of actually getting them out of the country.

They then send the tracking numbers to lumintop who in turn has to send them to Neal.

So there is a delay from shipping to Neal even having the tracking numbers.

Neal sent me the tracking number some hours ago
It was not shipped by DHL
It was by FedEx

After 119 days a new stage begins

Ah, shoot. Reading is not my #1 skill apparently.
T_A, I still think we need to make a T_A_Beer/soda fund for all you have done!

I see more problems on the horizon

How much does the box weigh with the full flashlight and the 8 batteries?
