Just curious regarding the original BLF Q8 ā what kind of significant differences are there from original batch 1 compared to later batch 2 for the BLF Q8?
Iām not quite sure if my BLF Q8 is batch 1 or belongs to batch 2 (I did order quite early so it may be batch 1 ā but Iād like to know what are the improvements for batch 2 and later batches)
I donāt remember all the details, but at minimum the screws were replaced with something harder than butter, and the switch PCB was rebuilt to stop it from dying. I think there were other things too, but I never actually got a batch 1 Q8 and wasnāt involved in the project, so I didnāt really have to pay much attention.
Sorry yeah my bad, never knew you could change the offer period. Made a new offer with 2 day period, no bites on day 1. Yes I put the exact amount as listed in post #1.
Hey DBSAR/āBLFLanternPMā(SIGShooter?), information in Barryās post #7800 is probably noteworthy to include in this threadās OP or in the information threadās post #2.
Underline and italic added by me.
At this point all the lanterns are shipping from China so there shouldnāt be any problems in ordering to UK through Amazon whether itās .com or .de since theyāre shipping from China.
As far as Ebay purchase goes you need to make an offer including at least your BLF username and then wait for it to be accepted.
With AliExpress itās a bit more involved: place an order but do not pay, message your BLF username and wait for the price of the order to be adjusted by them after which you can pay for it.
If you prefer āFulfilled by Amazonā feel free to wait for those batch 2 units to reach Amazon warehouse. Although who knows how long that will take or how many units is āsomeā.
Nor do we know how Amazon EU or Sofirn will handle VAT for Amazon.de FBA.
I noticed something interesting the other day. Many years ago, I made separate Amazon accounts on the .com, .co.uk and .de sites. By chance, Iāve just moved to a new email address, which I updated on the .co.uk site. When I went to the other two to replicate the change, it had already updated.
It might be that any Amazon account can log into and order from any Amazon site now. If thatās the case and your code is giving you grief on your local site, it might work on one of the others. All LT1s are shipping from China at the moment, so the site you use wonāt affect shipping time, although it might affect any VAT or sales tax that gets applied.
