Same here, but i feel there will be much more of a demand and interest in the colored versions than there will be in the standard black in the later orders than Sofirn plans to produce.
Gee, I like the idea of a nice protective cradle for my LT1⌠but then, Iâm not rough on my stuff and the LT1 should be plenty sturdy (for me) without a case.
Ordered from amazon with the group buy code. Not expecting any problems there.
However I also ordered one from AliEpxress on 11/11, they gave me a tracking code with no information on it, and wonât respond to my messages at all. I know dispute is the way to go, but thatâs just going to hurt Sofirnâs reputation on AE - why have they completely disbanded other platforms (seeing as the new batch of codes is only for amazon)? Does someone here have a line of communication to the people handling the AliExpress side?
I believe theyâre marking it as shipped so that they donât have to refund the money. Whenever they exceed the group buy demands they will ship one to you from Aliexpress. I ordered one myself from there at 11/11, still no updated tracking number, but Iâm patient since I wasnât in the group buy and have no expectations.
I am willing to wait as long as needed for anodized colors. How can I get a code for 1 tan, 2 green and 1 orange? I am still on the list for 4 more lanterns and would like to be certain I can get colors.
Are you going to make a list for colors? I would like to BE SURE Iâm on a color list and do not want to miss them because they sold out before I got my last 4 codes out of 5 total.
Making a list for us waiting on colors would firm up how many you need to make AND allow others who want black to get those faster. I am willing to give up my spot in line to be certain to get the 1/2/1 in colors.
I interpreted it as 11/11 sales just shoved a massive amount of ePacket into China Post and they are jammed up, probably sat in a massive bulk flow somewhere waiting to be scanned before the tracking updates.
I would not panic, its part of the experience getting something amazing cheap from the other side of the world, just wait another week and see what happens.
Colours (colors for some of you) are going to sell like ice cream on a hot day is my prediction! (even if they do only arrive in time for summer)
Sorry guys, sofirn decided to make the rest 500pcs into Black body color. Because the anodizing factory didnât meet the environmental protection standard made by government again. Never know when it will meet the standard.
The colored ones will delayed till the 3rd batch. Your understanding is much appreciated.
While no one likes this news, I thank you for posting it Barry. Itâs good to know the plan, hoping the anodizing factory can gets its processes cleaned up.
Thanks so much for the update. It may not be what everyone wants to hear, but any update is helpful in order to set realistic expectations.
Will we be able to use the group buy codes for the third batch with colors? I am willing to let others go in front of me to get black if they want. I would like to be sure that I can get colors with my group buy code before I forfeit my chance to get the rest of my LT1âs or my codes expire.
Can you start a list now for those of us who want colors? It would give you plenty of time to accurately figure out how many of each color to make to fulfill everyoneâs needs and also allow those who want black to get them sooner without wasting codes on those who donât want any more black and are willing to wait.
