Group Buy Now Live - BLF GT90 SBT-90.2 powered 5,000 Lumen, 1.8Mcd / 2600m Super Thrower

$61 or that charger plus 8 VTC6 cells is a pretty good deal. Makes this a bargain. :confounded:

Just got my shipping notification.

Received my tracking notification email tonight as well, now the wait continues.

Is it too late to join the group buy. I want in.

Follow the link in the first post and try the coupon code - either itā€™ll work, or it wonā€™t.

Received my shipping notice on friday, and today I received another email saying it will be here on tuesday.
4 days from Hong Kong to PNW.

Kudos to DHL. :beer:

How could I get shipping quote? Because gb price does not include shipping!

Great,
props to UPS, they are the ones that do the actual shipping from country to country, DHL only brings it to your door.

For most of the major countries shipping is included. For the rest you need to contact Neal for a quote I am guessing.

I think it is the other way around IIRC, DHL handles the international part and UPS will sometimes deliver to your door. From what I remember DHL is bigger then UPS internationally. Could be wrong though.

UPS operate more airplanes and carry alot of air cargo for others, probably including DHL. Though Iā€™d expect the carrier to vary between routes (for example HK to US might fly UPS while HK to Europe might fly DHL) and over time as the airlines adjust their fleets and schedules, and the couriers negotiate and renegotiate contracts.

Did that over his FB page but no response, PM-ed him like 3 weeks ago. Will try with email from his website.

Yeah, I would try PM and email. Strange he has not gotten back to you yet, he said he caught up on messages about a week ago.

So I donā€™t know IF I should be alarmed but I just checked the tracking from DHL and after being on ā€œholdā€ the next update has me worriedā€¦ā€¦

ā€ Monday, January 20, 2020 Location Time
3 Awaiting collection by recipient as requested HONG KONG - HONG KONG 14:51ā€

Only a bit worried as the delivery is to ā€œCanadaā€ while its location is still in ā€œHong Kongā€ and awaiting collection by recipient(?) am I just paranoid or did someone hijack my packageā€¦ā€¦

Mine says the same thing, so I just assume ā€œrecipientā€ is whoever is next in line in the shipping chain. (First time for me in a group buy type of thing from China so I guess this is normal).

First time seeing this from DHL as Iā€™ve had a fair number of things from China sent Via DHLā€¦ā€¦ Though the other packages werenā€™t flashlights but rather swords from blacksmiths on wechatā€¦

Probably not hijacked, more likely theyā€™re returning it to sender (i.e. waiting for Neal to pickup the package). DHL tracking says my GT90 is in Canada with the delivery expected tomorrow.

Yeah, I would not be worried about the tracking. Most likely it is waiting to be picked up by the courier. In China most international shipping is not done directly from the sender, instead they give it to a ā€œstate friendlyā€ shipping ā€œdistributorā€ that then handles getting the package out of the country.

I donā€™t know all the details but there are a lot of politics involved. It is most likely waiting for the next step in the chain.

Light and batteries arrived today. Batteries chargingā€¦.

Should I look out my window into the skies tonight?
