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

I have yet to manage to open the head to adjust the centering ring, as it is on too tight.
The hotspot seems to be very far from a perfect circle so it might actually affect throw in this case, still thinking of how to remove this oversized head with whatever I have at home.

For those that have done so, any tips?

The 3rd batch of PM’s has not been sent out yet. It is looking like it might have to wait until after the Chinese new year at this point. Hopefully they can “stockpile” some reflectors to make shipping faster.

Thank you TA. I’m getting older and it may be my eyes aren’t sensistive enough to pick it up. There is a momentary dark period when it switches from the top of the ramp to turbo and it appears the same to me but im sure it’s just my vison.

Let me guess that only orders “with batteries” were declared as 30$ value …

I just sent a new email reminding Neal that it is absolutely necessary to have the AWL DHL for the customs declaration
Without doing this procedure I can not enter anything to the country

Just a thought… Use a large rubber band with a large pipe wrench. The Rubber Band protects the surface and also provides extra grip. The Pipe Wrench I am talking about is the one with the chain…

Zip Ties may also fill in for a similar “tool”

Can it be believed? :open_mouth:

With all of these orders, there are bound to be some mistakes along the way. Can’t say I am surprised. I am sure Neal will sort it out.

!!

How you feel when you see the Giant GT.

If you have not payed extra fees and taxes in the Customs,send it to me please,as I also am in EU.I think we can manage it with Neal. :slight_smile:
Of course I have payed at 2/12/2017.

Received mine today. Ordered with batteries but there was none with the package. What should I do?

While the pipe wrench below will no doubt do the job…. be sure to use plenty of padding between the bezel & the chain if you use it.

Here is a strap wrench to consider.

And a link to images of more strap wrenches…

Resized

Got mine this morning with batteries. Centering and reflector both look great. Now for darkness…

Just unboxed mine.

It’s BIG.

Just a single spec of dust inside the reflector

Just received the GT with batteries at long Island NY (978).

DHL said mine was with the delivery courier (in another city about 3 hours away) about an hour ago. Scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day today. Originally it was scheduled for tomorrow.

The default value for the DHL packages is $25 USD.

The default value of each registered mail package is $14.99 USD.

The Google document in post #1 (Customs Declaration Survey) is for people who would like to set their own values on their own packages.

I don’t know what happened in Bozlight29’s case. He asked that his be changed to $22, but it got changed to $30 instead. More investigation is needed to see what went wrong here.

I sent email to Neal asking him if my flashlight was sent to me (no. 116 on the list).

If he will not reply in few days (most likely) I will probably open paypal dispute. I just want information if flashligh was sent or not.
If he can’t provide this info, paypal dispute will be open. I paid on 2.12.17, today we are 23.1. and still no info if and when GT will arrive.

The problem is also that many which are on the list much later 600, 700, 800+ already got FL.

My patient is running out - 150+ $ (cells included) is not small amount for me.

That “Control F” thing to search for you name in the list is a neat trick… Vesture has 2 more lights with his name on them still!!!
