I am not sure either although my guess is it has something to do with customs. They mentioned having to get a new permit to ship lithium batteries, maybe this is what they were talking about.
Could also be cheaper or more reliable to use Fedex to the UK as well, hard to say. As long as they are shipping and arriving, that is all that matters.
When you have hundreds of messages a day, you simply don’t have time to answer them all. Been there, done that.
You have to scan them and find the ones that you can actually do something about or provide new information to and prioritize those.
Basic status checks and the like make up a large portion of the messages both he and I are getting and there is simply nothing else we can tell you in most cases besides lights are shipping each week.
So, I’ve been looking at the GT and wondering…. I have a couple of friends that like to camp out, one of them loves doing it in ridiculously cold weather. If the GT were modified to the XHP-70.2, could it not be used as an emergency rations heater? I mean, remove the bezel and lens, set the reflector aside, put a SS bowl in the head and fill it with soup or whatever, turn the light on for about 10 minutes, voila! Steaming Chef Boyardee Lasagna! (or Ravioli or whatever)
Yes, I got confirmation of payment and the auto-generated email from Neal and I responded with congratulations to him on his wedding and my info. I haven’t heard a thing since. I sent a follow-up to that email 9 days ago asking if there was any update. No response to that email either.
Just posting to tell that fully agree with pommie’s remarks about teacher’s post that is shelving us dedicated GT buyers and supporters as ‘whiners that should be excluded from the buy’. pommie worded what I was thinking but was I too :weary: to write it down.
