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.

I’m glad I read this thread. Title is misleading and I had wrongly assumed there was a quality issue with sofirn.
Yeah and unfortunately the OP hasn’t been seen here for 3 weeks plus…I doubt that he’s coming back to change the title.
I have sent a PM to the almighty SB so he can decide if the title should be amended.
I’m sure that title is generating a lot of views…currently over 1100
I can change the title if most of you want me to. I just generally avoid doing so, to avoid making it look like I’ve been bought off by a given vendor to create a favorable impression of them.
Well - to be honest, i keep reading this thread only because of the title - to check out what the fuss is about. then i find that Sofirn is actually impressive!
happened twice. today i forgot again that i had read this thread before.
hmm… gotta go buy some sofirns.
