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

Im here, and im very excited. :slight_smile: 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.

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.

Wow. In my country, it’s $ 25 … :person_facepalming: :rage: But GT has gone through … :+1: :smiley:

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.

It’s added.

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! :smiley:

Looking forward to getting payment details for this beast

g_sintornillos has to be the most patient guy in this place.

I think I’ll have to continue exercising my patience

I see more problems on the horizon

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

Paid December 4th, received DHL tracking number today by phone call. Tracking shows it was picked up by DHL today and is leaving China. Probably safe to assume that others will be receiving their lights soon too. When Neal posted to contact him if anyone had issues I sent him a PM and he replied that he totally missed my order. Glad I PM’d him!

Sorry for how long it took a lot of these orders. Luckily lumintop has learned the lesson and will now be waiting until they have the lights ready to take payment so this doesn’t happen again.

lol, no problem. I generally have to just skim posts myself if this thread had more then a page or 2. Just no time for more then that.

Hmm, a soda fountain in the kitchen….

Yes, he has been very good throw this process along with many many others. Everyone has been very understanding as a whole. Particularly those that were the last to ship.

The full box should weigh something like 7-8lb IIRC.
