Hey buddy, hope you have been doing well. I have been away from here for a while.
I ordered mine from Aliexpress
Store: Suizhou Jaxman Electronics Co.,Ltd
It definitely came from Singapore and it came via AliExpress Standard Shipping. It couldn’t be tracked via USPS, although it did recognize the package was from Singapore. Also, I had to sign for the delivery. The whole thing is very strange.
Yes, I remember seeing how the hosts were packaged; looked very nice! Of course mine being a factory assembled model the aspheric was pre-installed. My aspheric also has a small chip on the outer edge but it does not affect the beam.
Hmm though not a drama that “Z1” scribbled box does not look or feel premium.
OK the brown Jaxman box is not a Olight case but opening it and seeing all the parts in their own slot certainly gives the impression of the care that went into the product.
I was one of the people who requested a host individually very early on. That was before any group conversation, just because I asked for one directly.
They weren’t really prepared to sell many hosts and filled at least one early order — mine — by sending out the full commercial box package — before they figured out that we’d keep wanting hosts beyond the early few requests.
I asked why I got more than I expected and the reply was it was the easy way to make sure the package got out to me promptly in good shape.
I was and am grateful. I wouldn’t expect that if I buy another host now, as I probably will.
By now they must be organized to set the host parts aside, and send them in the typical padded bags, rather than using the full commercial box packaging.
I agree! One also must realize that I did not order a host; I ordered a factory light for $50.85 + $7.28 shipping! So, picky or not, I did expect the brown factory box. Furthermore, I tend to wonder if this light was used! The lens was not the typical “factory shiny” lens and chipped on one edge. Not only is the box a plain box but it is all wrinkled and previously had something written in pen then the model Z1 and tint 1A had been written over that in Sharpie. Lastly, others have stated their lights did not come from Singapore while this one did. For $58.13 I did expect this to be in proper order.
This was ordered on Sept. 10, 2016 and arrived yesterday Oct. 3, 2016. Here is the tracking # which clearly shows it came from Singapore; RB093395780SG. Also, under my description in parenthesis is the name Paul Bo? I presume this is someone from the Jaxman company since the name under the two Convoy 18350’s is Simon Mao, who I know is with Convoy.
Brett, I went back and checked all of mine. They all shipped from China.
Also, Paul Bo is the owner. Jaxman himself……
You did buy it from his store on AliExpress didn’t you?? HERE
Heck, send him a PM here on BLF along with the picture and ask him what the deal is. From all indications he is a very nice guy, I’m sure he would not mind you asking.
Keep us posted…………
~ EDIT…… Here is my tracking for my ’hosts’ up to when they reached the USA. I “think” I am reading it correctly that it shipped from China??? (but sometimes I am not the sharpest pencil in the box…. :person_facepalming: … .)

I just checked the tracking number from my first Jaxman Z1, and it was shipped via Singapore Post. Mine was one of the first ten hosts sold to BLF members.
They all all come from China. They just have a choice of what postal carrier they use.
If the tracking number ends in SG then they opted for Singapore Post.
