It’s a mixed bag especially if you do the freebie shipping option.
For example I ordered 3 nitecore tubes in November, one is here two are somewhere in between. After xmas I ordered a couple of copper A01’s and they came in yesterday. No rhyme or reason to it that I can see.
Forgot if it was the SF32Ws or SP10Bs, but I did one order and then another, only 2 days apart. First one came in like 2wks, the other over a month.
Depends if they catch the earlier barge or have to wait for the next one.
Yep, same shape as the Thorfire VG10 (my fave) and VG10S (meh…), only a nice WW.
The SF31W tubelight is sooooooooo nice, though. Nice WW but a great beam. Wider hotspot, nicely blurred, no nasty artifacts, perfect for late-night (moonlight) and even everyday use.
Think that was the one where I saw they had like 6 left, ordered 2, then said screw it I’m getting more and ordered 2 more. I just ain’t gonna get caught without one! 
Ain’t the brightest light out there, <1000lm, but I still smirk when I see the nice warm light shining on whatever.
Received both the SF10B and C8F today, ordered on 18 Dec and I’m in Canada. I think it’s relevantly fast with the holiday season.
They Sofirn C8 host I ordered on 11/11 (with ePacket shipping) finally arrived in the States and should be delivered this week… Two months later. But to be fair, I think the original shipment got lost and it had to be resent.
Shrugs…
AliExpress often takes 6 weeks.
I wish the title of this thread were changed.
Instead of “Sofirn currently not impressive” it should be “Aliexpress shipping not impressive”.
As-is, the title is misleading. It suggests that flashlights themselves are not good, which is not the case.

It’s not really fair to Sofirn.

I am learning patience. And today it has been rewarded :) Just received my DT70 and a Zanflare F1. Its 11am here so I have a fair old wait before darkness. These took a little over a month to get here from China over the Xmas period, so I am happy with that. I still have 7 items outstanding (mostly batteries) but the DT70 was the one I was waiting for. I checked this morning and as far as I could tell it was still stuck in Poland :)
Anyway this has given my confidence in GB and BG a big lift.
This Zanflare F1 is very nice, good packaging, nice tint, just a bit ringy.
So my light came in today. Key word is light, not lights. The SF01A. This light’s good and tiny. Perfect in case the lights go out but not powerful at all. The button’s got a nice solid press on it and it feels good in the hand. Well worth the little money that one was worth. Good for the use I had for it. Still waiting on the others.
Maybe change the topic title. 
Like others have said, change the title. Glad to see something came in from (Aliexpress).
My C8F full kit with a good 18650 and a little charger arrived yesterday after ordering it on 21st december.
Great stuff ! :nerd_face:
Since you’re in the USA always check amazon first for Sofirn. They FBA some of there models there: https://www.amazon.com/Sofirn+flashlight
Prices are higher than Aliexpress but check this thread for the discount codes: Special code for BLF from Sofirn. New arrivals— C8A 2 light group and max up to 1747 lumens.

Also as suggested, please change the title of this thread! it’s really not fair to Sofirn, it would only be their fault if they delayed in the order processing time. Once it leaves their hands it’s out of their control. Remember these need to go through customs and some packages could be delayed for random inspection.

Sofirn has embraced the community here and actually listens. That and their products are impressive.
Sofirn is a good brand. Can not blame then for slow shipping once the item leaves their store. Please change your title. My amazon prime Sofirn orders were all delivered in two days. Peace.

Last couple of things I got from China took 8 weeks. And before that, 6-7 weeks. Things coming from China are just slow lately in many countries it seems.
You can’t blame the seller. They don’t control the postal system.
