Tell Us When Your GT Arrives (or is on the way)! [Formerly: BLF GT DHL Delivery Logistics Discussion]

Maybe I should have not ordered batteries…

Hmm. Last time I signed digitally on DHL’s site and they left the package. There was no print out or anything like that.

The day before delivery they sent a text, something like ‘package scheduled for delivery… signature is required… manage delivery at:’ and then followed up with a specific link to ‘delivery.dhl.com

Following that link there were a bunch of different options, pretty much anything you could want to request in order to best receive the package.

My GT is at Los Angeles gateway, CA as thursday evening…

Hey majoroverkill, are you in LV ? If so, you should get it anytime.

My GT arrives and delivered in Garland, Texas “by end of day” of Dec. 29th, unfortunately l am in Asia, and l cannot even contact the recipient!

So no photos from me.

IIRC, last time I checked the latest list, there were (edit/recount) 270 orders being shipped DHL, that had batteries ordered at the same time. Is that enough for a full pallet? No clue.

I thought about ordering just the flashlights, then buying the batteries stateside, then I figured the savings combined made it more worthwhile, so I ordered the package deals instead.

I'm definitely not in a big rush, but it would be nice to see the original thread unlocked, so team members that do have contacts and/or info pertaining to the topic, can post, to let us all in on what's going on. If anything

I didn't order cells for my light either.

I ordered batteries with mine. To California. No DHL info yet

Right before it went down I believe one person said they got a tracking number and they had batteries ordered… unconfirmed though.

Carson City.

:+1: I agree! :expressionless:

Posted this in the GT thread but got lost in the midst of other shipment posts and craziness:

Are there things we should be looking for and reporting on when we start getting our GTs? How to tell that they fixed firmware issue(which was what exactly)?

Mine has cleared customs in Cincinnati as of 1:00am Friday. No delivery target given. (No batteries).

Mine just processed thru Greensboro,NC.

I see mine (59 ordered, 312 paid, no batteries) left Cincinnati this morning and just arrived in Milwaukee also this morning. Normally I would say no way it gets here today, but with how fast it went from Hong Kong to Cincinnati OH who knows. Might have to get some batteries ready. Where does the tracking show the expected delivery date?

Same situation for me too, but my estimated delivery still shows today. The Estimated Delivery shows on the top right under "Result Summary". Here is the page I used for tracking.

If you did not order a Q8.
For NarsilM, First operation, may be have some puzzle.
However, be patient and read the user manual carefully.
If confused, lost in manual.
Please reset the factory settings, and try again.

Below is the reset operation.
If, blink’s speed, you can read it smoothly.
Then, the firmware must be normal.

It sure would be great if we could get some sort of rough update on what the shipping schedule is looking like. They must have some idea what their plan is for sending lights out.

With respect to the business of the project, the holidays, the wedding and honeymoon I wouldn’t think it would take more than 10 minutes to update the board. Understanding that dates slip as issues develop.

Mine made it to Miami this morning but is listed as “on hold” because it got there too late to go to my local distribution center in Boca Raton, FL.

Still no delivery date given.

Mine is at the delivery facility, but no estimated delivery. It’s about a 38 minute drive, 32 miles. I’ll check again later or maybe just pick it up.

PS Out for delivery today.
