Yep, that is indeed another factor. Banggood generally orders in multiples of 500-1000 is what I have heard, although on larger things like this 100-250 is a reasonable guess.
No problem, most people are not aware of the back end side of retail and things like that (prices being higher at lumintop direct vs banggood) are easy to mis-understand.
What?
Are you refering to these people?
GT:
sp5it - got damaged head, still waiting on response for replacement
zelee - got damaged head, still waiting on response for replacement
FreeMagenta - First GT lost, replacement GT status unknown
Bruno28 - waiting for replacement reflector
VRT - recieved battery tube, but not head. No updates
Tete - recieved battery tube, but not head. No updates
Jimmy007 - first GT lost, no word on replacement
k125bw - waiting on replacement battery carriers
Dustynell - light not shipped due to address issues
Chito - got damaged head, no other details mentioned
Northcentralpositronics - missing tail cap
I have not heard anything about these issues. I assume they are all still unresolved.
VRT, Dustynell and FreeMagenta never answered my PM so I don’t know about them.
Yes, those people, supposedly they fixed these issues. I will send him the list and get an update on the specific issues though.
Anyone that still has issues please post here to let us know if they have been fixed please.
I’ll PM these people again.
Thanks, that works as well. Now that I am reminded about this I am quite curious on what the status of these are. The boss was fighting me pretty hard but Leo and Neal said they would try to do everything they could to get them taken care of anyways.
The 115$US GB price must have not helped them at all in this case. In fact, they must have had some losses with the light since it costs a lot to ship.
Had the GB price been 150$US from the start, maybe there wouldn’t be backlash from Lumintop at all.
Probably true. But they agreed to the deal & they should either fix the problem or refund all the money.
This borders on ridiculous . Nope, this is ridiculous.
You are 100% correct.
From what I have gathered, after all was said and done, they lost money on the $115 lights in a big way and didn’t break even until the final batch of lights in the group buy. There were jobs hanging on the line for a few months if things did not improve and the boss was NOT happy, which was understandable considering the amount of money on the line.
They seriously underestimated the shipping costs for the lights along with the reflector issues and other unexpected issues upping the cost of the light much more then expected as well.
All that said, it does not excuse them for not taking care of these issues, I have been very vocal on that, these issues should of been taken care of months ago and it makes no sense in the big picture to not fix these (fairly minor in the big picture) issues.
Yep. I’m not justifying, just explaining the problem :+1:
/\ … Understood. . :+1:
Northcentralpositronics said he got his replacement tail cap. So he is off the list. We are back to 10.

I always delete the resolved issues.
Sp5it says he sent his head back to lumintop for repairs. We will find out the results later.
Different strokes for different folks. 
. I would rather see the progress that is being made with a line thru the name and a big RESOLVED beside it. . :+1:

I’ll take your name as author off the next UPDATE if you wish. I was just trying to give you credit…… 
Maliblue recieved his missing light in July.
