its one of busiest holidays around corner… expect delays for packages to leave china.
Christmas is around the corner. Chinese New Year is January 25th to February 8th.
BUT his package started moving on November 26th, almost 1 month ago!There is not any progress,very little at most. :person_facepalming:
I am thankful for his post it helped me solidify my decision regarding this light. He may have to wait until late February or March! Totally unacceptable from an American standard and point of view.
I know but still keep in mind that buying stuff from china just is what it is… tons of packages end of year, and also next year when chinese new year starts…
If they were so busy they would not be sending packages between one office to another, they would simply get rid of them sending them to destination…
What is happening is what in my country we call bureaucratic gymnastics.
Thanks for the video! 
You think they are sending his packages between one office and another? I’ve never seen or heard of this happening. My assumption was the package was returned to the sender for some reason. I see this quite a lot and it’s happened to me a few times.
The tracking info is very confusing, but it looks like the first package was returned due a security concern. Maybe battery related? Hard to say.
So it looks like the package was sent again, but the 3rd party shipper sent it through a different mail hub or whatever hoping it would get through security and customs this time.
I guess we have to wait and see if it gets through.
Hi Freeme
I'm Interested
Okay.
I don’t think there is any battery, at least nowhere says it includes them, if they come… welcome…! eight 18650 would suit me very well.
But… BG sends flashlights that include batteries by SG and not by CN.
Perhaps the “security” problem is that the party has lost some apostate and they suspect that wants to flee hidden inside a Haikelite HT70.
ANY NEWS? No reply on the 18th of December[last post] hoping for one now.
Thanks
Hi Freeme, if it's not too late, I'm interested in the coupon code for the Haikelite HT70. I don't have any Haikelite lights in my current collection.
thanks!!!
Interested 
Suggestions on Best Batteries for this flashlight?
Button top 30Q is what I’d go with.
No worries, I will not ask a Third time.
One thing I have learned in the short time I have been on here.USA dealers are Superb to China dealers in terms of responsiveness and overall customer service.
I will not debate this nor defend this.
It has been my experience.
Banggood told me at least another month for NW.
So I decided to get CW.
Coupon code no longer valid. [Expired]
I would think everyone has the same code. Whether you try to get CW now or NW later, we need another code.
Recently, I contacted Haikelite at their store on Aliexpress and asked if they already have the SST70 5000K leds.
The answer I got:
Is it possible that Luminus will not give out the SST70 in 5000K?
Sure it is possible. They are making the light and are most likely more credible than Banggood and the information that we have gotten on here.
I am waiting[and I am sure others are to] for a: NEW VALID COUPON CODE. ORIGINAL EXPIRED.
Myself and others have been Waiting for NW and in the mean time the code Expires. I asked OP if the code would be good when NW is available? I posed the question in post # 53. NO Response. Now the code is Expired for any tint!
FREEME NEW COUPON CODE PLEASE
Although this is google translation.[I was only 7 years old and do not remember the exact German words.]
Like my German Grandmother told me over 57 years ago, " Sie Konnen sich nur auf sich selbst verlassen!"
"You can not depend on anyone but yourself!"
The OP appears to have lost total interest in this thread[Last Post on December 23rd], since then the results are the Code has EXPIRED and there are several unanswered questions, Not just by me.
I took the initiative and went to the source and got my own personal coupon code.
I have ZERO interest in participating in any of his future group buys.
Guten Tag .....Schonen tag :D
its HL, they are known to dissapoint sadly, i learned my hard lesson after mt09r disaster…
What??
What does Haikelite have to do with the OP who is responsible for the group buy, for responding, updating code ect.?
I briefly told Banggood what happened on this thread in terms Coupon Code expiring and not getting any response or help from OP.
In less than 24 hours Banggood gave me a new coupon code.I was impressed with their expediency.
In addition I contacted Martin, M4D M4X. He also responded quickly and gave me a slightly better coupon code than Bang good. :+1:
