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

So how many people on the 555 list have the flashlight been delivered?
That’s something what I want to know. Because For me It’s already 7 weeks ago I am now in week 8 that’s 2 months :weary:

Like I said before, there is no 555 list as far as shipping is concerned. All 850 orders are mixed together. Since we don’t have statistics, I will guess that “most” of the early payers have their lights. Anyone that ordered with registered shipping was not part of the first 3 shipments. So obviously they don’t have their light yet.

There were around 170 people on Neal’s #1 to #555 paid shipping list that ordered with registered mail (according to another member, I didn’t actually count them), but some of them switched to DHL so the real number is unknown.

So right now it looks like those with registered shipping and those that paid “later” are still waiting. Plus there are still a couple early payers who chose DHL and still don’t have their lights. So it’s got a random quality about it as well. :disappointed: :person_facepalming: :confounded:

Ps, for some folks it might be 12 to 13 weeks.

Mine was just delivered by TNT (not DHL) in South Africa, no notification, no call and NO DUTIES. Left on 19/1/2018 arrived 22/1/2018 at 14:00.
It’s absolutely enormous, and I certainly have no use for a light this size, but I guess in life we all need toys that have no particular use to be found in our day to day grind.
I am so pleased with the overall quality and look of this light so far, batteries are at home, charger is on it’s way still from GB so probably only fire it up in a day or two unfortunately.
Thank you so much to the BLF GT team, this was an incredible deal $$ wise for an incredible light!
:smiling_imp: :heart_eyes:

Guys that haven’t gotten their lights, please try relax, South Africa is a small country with a low GPD and few orders and I got mine. The wait is worth it when you’re holding this massive light! The GT team have done their level best to be fair and efficient throughout this GB, my first GB of any kind. I am an impatient person sometimes myself, but please realize that the GT team basically did all of this R&D and organisation for us as a charitable donation to our cumulative addiction to flashlights. Please be appreciative of each and every one of their amazing effort in delivering a light to you for LESS than 50% of the cost it will be when it goes on retail sale in “the real world”. The Express delivery would have cost more than I paid for my light.
I’m massively impressed!

I paid within 24 hours of the payment for the groupbuy starting. I forgot which date.

“Sigh” :weary:

Neal will get it taken care of, contact him about this.

Just received my blf gt, no shipping notification, delivered by TNT

Good chrisc will be hapy to hear this

I read this thinking of a sarcastic reply but yeah, I am actually happy someone in the UK has one.

My wife hasn’t told me a big box has arrived so I can only assume mine hasn’t arrived yet.

Think FedEx bought over TNT worldwide. Maybe shipped by FedEx but delivered by TNT.

Didn’t mean sarcasm, really thought that any delivered to Europe is good to hear.

Still no news for mine :weary:

Oh no, I knew you wasn’t being sarcastic I meant I was thinking of some sarcastic or whitty reply

“dont assume you know what I think” or “I’m not happy that they have it because I dont have mine” etc etc.”

I’m trying to distract myself from a rubbish day at work but it’s not working.

At least they are landing so hopefully a few more will start appearing in a few days.

Yep… you are 100% correct. :+1: … I just did not mention that part…… :wink:

The wait was long but worth it, man this things big, also going to have to sort some kind of lens cap out, don’t want no broken lens, just on charging batteries and waiting for dark

Did you have to pay extra charge’s?
Did you order dhl?

ordered light with dhl no batteries was 714 on the list 107 to have paid, and no extra charges

Thanks, I was a bit worried that using dhl might get customs charges & fees.

No. 116, I first apply for registered shipping. I soon changed to DHL, I sent Neal email two times to change from registered to DHL.
Of course, no repy from him.

To sum up, I still do not have GT and also no information when GT will arrive.

Not happy, but I can only wait, as I understand… :cry:

All of the PMs were sent out within 5 minutes of each other, per batch.

The first batch of PMs went out on 1 Dec (UTC –5), but in some countries it may have been 2 Dec already.
