Might not be a big issue but if 50 or 100 people sign up for projects for alot more then they intend to use with the intent to sell the code it probably will cause alot more work and issues.
brianch:how important is insurance? was so excited I completely forgot to add it…
also I’ve never ordered batteries from BG before. any concern about authenticity? got some 30q buttontops.I wouldn’t worry about the insurance. Especially if you payed via Paypal. If it doesn’t show up or is broken then you can get a refund pretty easily. Most credit cards offer this protection as well. I did not do the insurance.
Purchase Protection is a free option that you have to activate in Paypal. Make sure you do that.
The Miller: Lowtech:Someone on reddit selling his code… :rage:
The Miller:hahahahaha selling a code, let me check.
If somebody needs a code, just PM me You get it free!found it, luckily we have a big buffer for some extra codes, sure was funny to read though, thanks for the heads up!

You don’t have to activate anything in order to get your money back for a no-show or broken purchase through PayPal. Have been through it multiple times and have never activated anything.
It goes through to my credit card anyway, which has its own protections. The CC will even give me my money back simply if I want to return it for any reason at all and the seller won’t accept returns.
selling a code???
can i get the link to that? :D
btw: 3 people who did not want to join because they do not spek english asked me for the other code...
-> the price for NON groupbuy people is 46.50 with my code and it will be promoted by banggood around 50 USD.
Perfect, thank you, Ordered.
Ordered! And thankfully I was able to get the buttontop 30Q’s for it from BG earlier for a good price…
Uselesshippy:I only put my name down for 1, but is it possible to order a second at that price? I think I saw a post earlier saying that it might be?
Do I need a new code to do this?
Thanks.yes, PM incoming
Perfect, thanks. Ordered

:person_facepalming: Oh Crap, did not know that. But future purchases will definitely have it. thanks for the tip JasonWW.
I did not add “tracking” as well I ’m flying blind.
Hi Miller, how many hours did you sleep last night?

If there is an issue you will get a refund from PayPal. I don’t know what Jason is talking about but I’ve never needed to “activate” anything.
If you think about it that would be pretty absurd, to be denied a no-show claim because you didn’t activate something that literally everyone would of course want.
Hi Miller, how many hours did you sleep last night?

02 to 08, nice

Are you in the US? I believe Paypal has different rules and regulations for different countries.
I agree it’s silly they had people do that, but I think you have to read and agree to their terms then you click the accept button.
1040 orders now in!
(inc mine)
As I checked out in Sterling I missed that BG had defaulted to some sort of priority air shipping at extra $$ which they seem to do all the time now :smiling_imp: - oh well not going to touch the order now it will only go wrong!
Lets hope Thorfire churn out more lights soon, because Winter is Coming…

I’m in the U.S.
Perhaps some things have changed over time or that the guidelines have not been universally enforced?
Either way I don’t think anyone will have much of an issue if they make a claim that a product sent from China didn’t arrive or was broken on arrival.
I don’t think there will be much shipping issues anyway, or at least we hope.
Flashlight shipped already! Banggood writes:
“Thank you for shopping on Banggood.com. Your order has been shipped. You can log into your Banggood account to check its status and details.”
Initially, they had projected an Oct. 10 ship date.
Items often will be marked “shipped” once a shipping label is merely created.
We’ll see if it’s truly “shipped” or if it’s actually China/ebay style “shipped”
Ordered only one, will pay the second in a few days to let someone else having his Q8 from the first batch shipped. I’m not in a hurry and can wait for a second or third batch.
Thank you the miller for starting to send PM by hand…much appreciated to receive my code before tomorrow…8th september is my birthday.
almost missed this, happy birthday!

I ordered two Q8’s in the first hour, and the third one a few hours later. The first two show shipped, while the last one still shows on back-order until october, so I assume that Thorfire indeed has an actual first batch ready to ship.
