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

According to DHL my GT went out with the driver this morning…unfortunately that coincides with a winter storm rolling in. We’ll see if he actually makes it today.

I received DHL tracking two days ago - apparently it is waiting at home for me!! Couldn’t be better timing as we are going camping tomorrow. Is it overkill? Maybe, but that’s just my style.

It is shipped, when it is shipped

I do not know if my Giggles was sent
I have not received the DHL tracking number to make the customs declaration

Many have received the Giggles without being sent the DHL tracking number
I need the tracking number to correctly make the customs declaration and avoid problems

Yesterday I called the DHL office in my country
They informed me that they report the tracking numbers only to the sender
They suggest that if the seller does not send me the tracking number start a dispute in Paypal

I will send an email to the payment address of Neal requesting the information
If I do not get a coherent answer unfortunately I will start the dispute in Paypal

Sorry

Oh joy, my GT just arrived today. WOW! It’s all I can say. What a truly impressive light it is. The reflector is even more impressive once you see it in person with your very own eyes. I just arrived home from work, just in the nick of time for DHL to make the delivery of my GT. I was gitty with anticipation, opening the package, just like a kid on Christmas day, opening his/her presents.The size of this light can only be appreciated in person with your own eyes. To say that pictures do NOT do this light justice, would be an understatement.

Ladies and gents, I present to you the new throw King. Beam shots will be coming.
In some of the photos, I am comparing the GT to my Astrolux MF02. The difference in size is amazing. In other photos, I have the Acebeam X-80. I had bought a carry bag for my GT from some of the suggestions here on the forum. It’s a generic brand bag, but it does the job. I bought it on Aliexpress for about $6/8 dollars. My GT fits quite nicely in the bag. I also bought the boot cover for my GT from my local store. It fits quite nicely on the GT head. I also had ordered the batteries, as you can see, they came in the battery carriers. I’m a newbie, I don’t know if I’m posting the images correctly, but the links are here.

I did notice one problem, I believe I got the GT with the opaque button. I can hardly see it when the light is off. How can I get a replacement boot for the button?

Those pictures are big. If you click the “quote” button under my post you can see the coding I used to get your picture to show.
I had a few minutes so I just recoded all the pics for you.

where can i buy the lens cover Jason?

lcortez321 says he bought it at a local store in New York. You’ll need to ask him for the info.

DHL isn’t the United States Post Office, snow has stayed this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. We’ll see when they attempt a redelivery.

GT Package No. 455 received. :slight_smile:
For my surprise and even fun I got my BLF GT two days ago. Just thought that it will take some more time to happen,
cause I didn’t get respectively had any information about the shipment at all.

Anyway, - “the new sheriff in town” arrived, packaged well protected, in perfect looking condition, shows up awesome overall build quality and, as far I can say after little short testing, seems to work very well. It has a real impressive brightness, that lights up an even more impressive range of distance. :smiley: :smiling_imp:
In short version -, an absolute really fantastic, damned f#*\king great bunch of a lovely crazy hell of a flashlight.
Will have a lot of fun with it.

Biggest compliments and thousand thanks to all the members of the hard working crew :student: , that helped during the long and complicated process, to transform the great GT idea into GT reality. :+1:

:star: At least want to say, that it would be really nice and desirable, if our dear old fellow “The Miller” will hopefully be back soon. :exclamation:

Email sent to Neal
I await an answer as soon as possible

I’m sure Neal knows this, but I will pass it along to Texas_Ace who occasionally talks to Neal.

my GT arrived several weeks ago, all seemed well, first impression was ” that is HUGE”! second impression was, “hmm really big but what the heck will i use it for?” Well last night after several weeks of sub zero weather followed by several days of really warm (50-60 degrees) weather. I live on a cove adjoining a river and suddenly the water level began to rise covering half the front lawn, this was followed by radio and television reports of a huge ice jam breaking loose and making its was down river (towards me!). reports of flooding and evacuations from low lying properties and damages to one of the bridges. well, we anxiously watched the level of the rising water and it stopped very close to a flooding point for my cellar. as evening arrived and still no word on the advancing ice floes I was feeling a little helpless until, you guesed it, I notice the GT sitting there fully loaded and charged. I set up up strap for the eye bolt i had ordered and went out to the porch, Holy , it threw a very tight spotlight beam out to the river 300+ meters off clearly showing details of the river, no change in the ice, WOW! for what it is designed for it does a wonderful job plus I can now justify to the wife!

Your on a real winner when you can justify a certain very expensive torch to the wife with a legitimate use nqcken. :slight_smile:

Delivered this afternoon.

I was #3 on the paid list, and ordered with batteries.

The light arrived (I think) the week of January 2nd. I was out of town, and don’t know the exact date, but it was waiting for me when I returned to Ohio on Jan. 11th.

Note: I have the dreaded “dark button”, and the light is making a creaking / tinking noise as it heats up.

I suspect thermal expansion. If after a few weeks it still “tinks”, I might open it up and re-seat / lube / thermal compound everything.

In any case, I’m waiting at least a few weeks to bug anyone about either issue.

Did you receive yours in Malaysia ? Via DHL ?
Were there any issues with customs ?

Also, did DHL ever send any tracking info via email or did they just text/ call ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your shipping experience. :smiley:
