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

I would think the design drawings in this thread would be all they needed

The design is not the same like in GT.
Looks closer to MF02.
Too many diference to use draws from GT thread.

Hey all, Matt has posted another great video on the GT. From the GT modding thread:

Can someone who contacted DHL to get a tracking # please let me know what # you called and how you went about it please? I just contacted DHL main customer care # and told the person I did not have a tracking number for my expecting package and this person said sorry we need the tracking # and could not help me. I asked if they could look it up based on my address and said no. So I’m curious if anyone’s had any luck with this. I wouldn’t care about the shipment but if this is a signature upon delivery package then I would like to know when it’s scheduled to be delivered so I can plan accordingly for someone to be home on such day.

Wow. He actually managed to get more throw with the xhp70! Now all we need is to convince lumintop to make the MCPCBs for the xhp70. Also I need to get my hands on that TA driver as well. My GT hasn’t even arrived yet and I’m already planning to mod it.

In the US it’s 1800 call dhl.

Wow, cool! I want the same mod :+1: :heart_eyes:

Here is VOB’s thread on the modded GT.

The XHP70.2 8,000 Lumen BLF-GT With Beam Shots!!!

DO NOT FORGET!!

The end of the GT Group Buy is just about upon us. IF you plan on ordering your group 4 GT… now is the time to do it.

As noted in the quoted post below….

The GT Group Buy ends 20 May 2018.

wish they offered a clear edition, makes it easier to pull the trigger again :wink:

Just giving an update, I don’t have all the details but I can confirm that the GT shipments were picked up last week and sent to the forwarder. I am pretty sure this includes both the lost shipments and the new ones.

It will take time for the tracking numbers to filter back down the line to Neal but they are on the way.

Someone asked me if I could make a CAD file for a stock GT XHP35 centering ring for 3D printing. I have had so many PM’s the last week I can no longer find who it was so I am just posting this here.

This should fit a stock GT and center the XHP35 LED. I have not tested it though.

Only print it out of white ABS, colors will melt, I know this from experience.

I paid for a final round BLFGT (#1438) with Batteries, Short Tube and Shoulder Strap on May 5.

A few days ago I got an email from Leo at Lumintop informing me that “your name XXX was listed in blacklist by your customs” (USA), so my order can’t be shipped.

I order from China on a regular basis and have never encountered anything like this before (my last shipment arrived about two weeks ago).

Leo wanted me to furnish another name or family member. I don’t exactly have any spare names, aliases or family members lying around so I suggested several variations on my real name, but he hasn’t had much luck with them and I don’t want to push his patience too far.

Has this happened to anyone else who might have some insight?

Could this be some quirk in the shipping method being used? If I were willing to cough up some extra $ to use a carrier like DHL, might that work?

Could this be part of an opening round in an impending trade war?

I know of at least 1 other person this happened to and it was never really explained then either.

Best I can figure there is some kind os blacklist internally in china, weather from the forwarding company or from the government I have no idea. There being a blacklist from the government would not surprise me at all.

Sometimes you can have packages delivered to a UPS / fedex store and held for you, might try that?

So for anyone waiting in the last batch, I just got a text that I had to pay customs. Paid for the GT on may 5, shipped to the Netherlands. Customs hit me hard though, 50 euros. So be prepared for that if you are dutch as well. Expected date of delivery is may 22 for me by the way.

I didn’t get a text from dhl at the moment, but i have pm from another member from the netherlands who also got one.

I hope mine slipped trough, btw i have no batteries included

I ordered everything, so that may have something to do with it.

I just got a SMS from DHL with my tracking information, BUT it has the incorrect address…it’s not even the right city or state. My paypal address is correct. I have no connection to the listed delivery address, so I have no idea where that came from.

What do I do now??

I got confirmation, all the old and new orders have been given to the forwarder last week. The only things not shipped are 40 of the bags, Neal ran out of stock and has them on order now. They should be ready within 2 weeks.

2 text messages from dhl:) giggling begins Tuesday! :
