Remember, “shipped & tracking number” do not necessarily mean SHIPPED…. as in ‘left the building’ & actually moving.
As far as which “shipping company” is used for FREE Shipping…. there are many to choose from. So no way to know.
Once your package shows movement you can expect it in anywhere from 10 to 28 days, as a general rule; for shipping from China to USA. Occasionally there are exceptions to that rule, slower & faster.
Hope this helps….
Edit: Looks like Neal answered with specific answers for you. His answers trump my “general answers”.

Luckily for me, there isn’t one for the U.S.
Right. And if IRRC it is far from “last minute”.
It has been known that some countries would require a bit of additional shipping cost for quite some time.
If people do not keep up…. maybe they get surprised.

It is very common to have different shipping costs depending on shipping destination. Islands or island-like places, some Scandinavian countries, both time- and distance-related pricing, and more exceptions like shipping to Hawaii. I have shipped from various places and this was never different.
If it is the actual cost, 3 dollars is really not high IMO for tracked shipping from Asia. Even tiny gearbest items are now 1.50 or more dollars in shipping. Batteries are like 4-7 dollars per shipment.
It is the new reality for online shopping.

I’ve read pretty much every thread in this post and i didn’t know about the fee so it’s not a question of keeping up, and i don’t see how you can judge why someone has missed information in a thread containing over 9000 posts, many of which are not relevant. Not everyone has the luxury of the time needed to read every post in a thread this size, and if you think they should then surely you have a responsibility not to force them to read through lengthy posts about materials you’ve dreamt the FW3A is made out of.
Off-topic is an inherent part of this forum, and one that i like, but it can take the focus away from the relevant.
Being free to ask questions and ask for help is also an inherent part of this forum which makes this a much friendlier and less intimidating place than most, and i don’t see why that should be discouraged without good reason.
If Zak hadn’t have asked i would have asked, but your attitude would make me think twice about asking.
Please can someone kindly remind me if the LH351D dogfarts on Arrow are rosy or green tinted. I was down for two because I wanted one with LH351D but that doesn’t look likely so may swap in some myself.
The dogfarts I have from Arrow are quite ok, albeit a bit above BBL. They do look much better than SST20s with similar duv though. Not absolutely necessary to filter out the green.

Thanks maukka. I regret not buying some when they were super cheap. I’ve been holding out for them to be discounted again but may take the plunge once my FW3A arrives (unless it becomes a factory option by then!)

As far as I am concerned Marc E…. ‘you’ read a heck of a lot into a sentence that contained the words “If & maybe”.
And let’s not forget “if IRC” at the beginning.

Interested, but completely clueless how to get on the list.
You just say that you want 1, etc… like everybody else. That’s all.
You are now added.
Ah, didn’t know if those people also were doing something else I didn’t know about.
Thank you, and I got a PM last night and ordered the 7A just now. Things like the LH interest me, but I like them better in Zebralights that can get longer runtime instead of more heat out of low Vf, so XPL HI is just great, 70 CRI or no. Love <4000K lights. Have a WW SST Emisar but too lazy to put together the kit to reflash it, so this’ll be my first light with the “real” firmware.
IDK about the tube-to-body anodize, but maybe they made it extra thick. If the tube is aluminum rather than something harder, it shouldn’t scratch the insulation easily… and I do have a bit of Kapton tape.
Saw some earlier post say it’s not possible to power the driver without a 3rd wire. Maybe true for this driver, but Folomov’s somewhat problematic 18650S (?) has a tailcap driver that runs in series with the LED. Thermal regulation, other than a timer, is of course impossible and that model has, from what I hear, damaged a few LEDs. Turbo should have been a lower current I guess.
I don’t see how. The manufacturer will happily sell an extra unit. The coupon code isn’t personalized. I think the interest list was used mainly to estimate demand, and allow a line/queue to form.
That is interesting the coupon code isn’t personalized. You are right, checking the demand. I didn’t get one this go around. Keeping an eye on future deals.
I see some folks have already received shipping notices for their lights. I wonder how many units are available to be processed out before the May 1st holiday or whatever it is that will delay further processing until May 8th.

I do not know what means IRRC but in the very first post its written:
“Pricing
Target $30 including shipping, manufacturer can decide own pricing afterwards.
Maybe $36 if XP-L HI emitters are used.
Not fixed yet!”
I do not want to make big deal for $3 just noticed the difference.
I wish Neal the best and to enjoy for that extra profit.

I don’t understand why ‘you’ is in quotes, but i read the sentence that contained the words “If & maybe” as the final part of your response to the comments you quoted, specifically ifratos’s “Neal’s last minute $3 fee.” which the rest of your answer relates to, and took it to mean that: If people (like ifratos) do not keep up…. maybe they get surprised (as ifratos’s description suggests he was).
What did i get wrong?

‘IRRC’ should be ‘IIRC’ which means ‘If I Remember Correctly…’.
The prices you quote are target process, it means that the project was developed to try and be sold for that price, but it wasn’t a guaranteed price. AT the start of the project no-one knew how much it would actually cost to make the loght and therefore it was impossible to know how much the light would be sold for, $30 and $36 were a guess. A very educated guess but still a guess.
The final price was set depending on how much it costs to actually produce the light, and is close to the original price. I don’t know the details of where the money goes but i haven’t assumed it was Neal just adding money on.
Ordered one(3D) , wait SST for next.
$38.97 including Neal’s last minute $3 fee.
Thanks BLF FW3A team!
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.( Gen.1:3)
Got an email notifying me my light shipped.
Thanks.
I also got a shipping notice and tracking number. Didn’t expect it to ship this soon kind of surprised.

I agree also. Surprising how well people get along when they talk about what we agree about instead of the small % we disagree about.
