[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

/\\\ +1

He may not get that many every single day anymore but back in December he was. He has not been around as much since his wedding. I would still easily estimate 100 messages a day for him based on how many I am getting. Still I can easily get 25-50 messages a day not even inducing this thread.

Figure each message can take 2-4 minutes to reply to depending on what the question is and that is ~2 hours a day easy just for messages. Which sounds about right. Generally have to spend all my free time in the morning on this GB and then catch up again at night if I have time.

Heck I would easily wake up to 100+ messages daily for most of December and I get a lot less then he does. He is the one that had to deal with all the payments, address, phone number, and other emails and questions + the normal direct questions from people, I just had to deal with direct questions from people.

I also ran an online business and got way less emails per sale then this, this is the nature of a GB like this, it takes WAY more time and effort then just selling something on a commercial website. Which is why a lot of companies won’t do them or need someone else to handle all these details for them to agree to do it.

Plus some decisions that were made early on caused us a lot of extra work here at the end. Things will be different for any future GB’s.

Yeah, I understand that’s been a huge effort for everyone in the team. But I am hoping now things are a bit back to normal. But it’s good to evaluate this at the end of the GB. This GT seems very popular, I guess more than expected. That means a lot of extra work and pressure.

Any info on when the registered shipping to Europe will start?

Supposedly registered mail starts shipping with the next batch. We have no idea where they will be going or in what order though. Although we are only a few weeks away from all orders shipping so not a big deal to worry about at this point.

Thanks!

TA , any possibillity to make a short battery tube ?

So ony i carrier can be used . I don’t know about other people but i would take one .

It is another thing to talk to lumintop about once the GB is finished.

Good to know .

Thanks again for all the help with xhp70.2 mcpcbs too , let’s hope they will help us :wink:

gregor, 116 on the list
till now I did not get any info that GT was shipped to me
not very happy :cry:
EU, Slovenia

who should I contact if I want to get info when my GT will be shipped, is this even possible or do I have to silently wait, maybe it will arrive in February, maybe April, maybe….??

kind regards

You live in the “neighborhood”. :slight_smile: I live in Hungary. Unfortunately, delivery is still in progress. Maybe we get it now.

I really hope so. I don’t like the fact that all FL were first shipped to US, and smaller countries are on the end. Not the right approach. We paid the same money as everybody else in US…

If only 2 or 3 people from our country ordered this FL, and from US - 350 people, I don’t care. Delivery shold be made acording to GB list. Now people which are on the list 800+ already have this FL, me which was on 116 place still do not know when FL will arrive.

It’s the same for us The Neterlands we were also on the list of 500 but still no info or FL GT received…
So The Netherlands also to small :frowning:

Shipping to US first is probably just to rationalize the process and not surprising given the bulk of orders were from the US, also please do not try to contact anyone with request for shipping info unless absolutely necessary as it will only delay things more, i’m confident everybody will be taken care of even if it takes time

I’m in 134. We have to wait, but it’s a bit unfair. I’m not talking about the Blf team just about Lumintop. If I knew, I would order Dhl. I waited for it all year,I will wait another month or two.

We are on the same boat guys , you are not alone :slight_smile:

… and the orchestra still plays. :smiley:

Thankfully it’s not the Titanic drood!
