Maybe not, but I think they kind of bit off more then they could chew on this group buy. They wanted the first 555 to put a deposit to prove there was interest. I think they were skeptical that they would actually sell 555, not to mention 1500+.
Companies like lumintop are not used to selling to individual people either. They typically only sell wholesale to retailers. Yes, Neil is used to retail selling and shipping, but this is pretty large scale considering all of the steps involved from manufacturing to the end results of getting them shipped
The problem is, every day the mail truck stops at my house, so every day i get a littlebit excited, and think, would it be for me? but 9 out of 10 times he walks to my neighbors…
The other time its my wife who ordered online stuff :person_facepalming:
Very nice srwaite! Do you have a model number? Edit, found it already https://store.lowepro.com/lens-case-13-x-32cm
My wife bought a lowepro slingshot bag for her camera years ago, the quality of their bags is fantastic!
Blf doesn’t use moderators and frankly most of us like the absolute free exchange of ideas without having to placate some arbitrary person who likely has no more knowledge than you do. Of course there are other site who have lots and lots of moderators and rules and if that is what someone yearns for, I say go for it! There is a lot questions and posts here because of the new members who the GT group buy has drawn. These folks have lots of questions as this is their first time and with 150$ or more on the line it’s to be expected to some degree. As more and more lights are received the extra traffic will decrease quickly. Just as the q8 thread did. Cheers!
It is probably for the best. Having more people paid won’t help the factory make the lights any faster, and can you imagine the cries grief here if someone in the 3rd round of PMs happened to receive a GT before someone from the 1st/2nd round of PMs? Wow.
