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

I just received my BLF GT here in Sydney Australia at 5:15pm Oz time.

It was delivered by TNT and there was no notification that it was coming.

WOW this thing is really BIG!

Yes the beam is yellowy similar to the beam in my DEFT X.

I was in the second list after 555.

DHL with batteries, TNT delivered.

Go figure.

Thanks to all the team for producing such a big and beautiful thrower.

A big thank you to Lumintop as the finished product looks so good.

Was this a light that was shipped on the 9th or the 19th?
I’m guessing TNT is a local delivery service?

I am surprised to see so many people thought logistics companies don’t co-operate on shipping.
I used to see that from time to time, stuffs got delivered to me not by DHL but with a big DHL label on the box.

The shipping date was the 19th January.

No… TNT is global.

Hey, thanks for the update. I Chose DHL, Haven’t received my package, I hope its arriving soon!

Yeah, those Teenage Ninja Turtles are everywhere, and pretty quick too. :smiley:

I updated post 1 with this news.

A 4th shipment went out on the 19th.

Tracking notices are coming in for the 4th shipment saying it will ship on the 19/20th. This should be a mix of USA and international orders. Lights are expected on the 23rd, but some are already being delivered to Australia. FedEx and TNT are also being used. More news to come.

Exactly…… :+1: … :wink:

I´ve changed my shipping from registered to DHL. Where are tracking infos (Trackingnumbers) listed?

It would be nice for me, to have trackingnumber before delivery, so I could contact customs.

thanks.

They are not listed.

Should I ask Neal again, or will DHL inform me?
Thanks.

in my case I got a sms from DHL (Hong Kong?) to pay 50 euro. I wonder what happened with the google doc I filled in with 22 dollar inclusive shipping. That’s not on the package I guess. I think there’s 25 dollar on the package, and DHL takes an extra amount for shipping.

Here is a post that relates.

I would also suggest you make sure that your PayPal account is up to date and has your phone number listed.

50€??? Sounds very much…
Tax and DHL charge for Their service???

In Germany we have to pay DHL charge for their service (min. 12,50€) and on top 19% vat (value of goods + shipping).
So maybe aprox. (100€ ($111) + 12,50€) * 0,19 = 21,50€.

If shipping is not declared separate, DHL charges min. about 35€ shipping on top for shipping China to Germany.
So maybe aprox. (135€ + 12,5€) * 0,19 = 28,00€.

Thanks a lot.

Some German members paid 38 euro, I saw an invoice somewhere in this thread. But how they account 50 euro? €14,50 admin costs DHL, €3 vat over admin costs, €32 vat over GT and shipping.

Maybe they ordered batteries, too.

could be, I have batteries too

Last time in Germany, I could pay at my front-door at the parcel deliverer.

EDIT:
Just got a privat message.
Maybe Admin costs for DHL express are more expensive, about 28€.
so 50€ might be ok for flashlight with batteries and all charges an VAT.
