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

:+1:

I was nbr. 3 on the first 500 list and live in Europe. Netherlands, to be precise.
I have not heard from Neal and wonder if my light has been shipped now?

Over 90% of lights have been shipped now, that is all I know at the moment.

OK, no worries then.

Tension and anticipation are rising :wink:

Would be a tremendous surprise - coming home in the afternoon and finding this package has been delivered! :slight_smile:

Grtz
Nico

probably 2 :wink:

Also still waiting…

One from the first group and one from the second group…heard nothing yet.

Hope for some information who still havent got notification.

The quote below from TA is the latest information.

As TA has also said a few posts above this…… He does not expect to get any more information until the end of the month, after Chinese NY.

IF/When he does get more info it will be shared. There is nothing more that can be said.

Finally got mine in Australia. Selected DHL but it was delivered by TNT. No complaints really, speed was comparable, just didn’t get notification it was on its way.

Having said that, ANY issues I had with shipping and delays were quickly forgotten once I opened the GT. They really have done a fantastic job.

Great work and thanks to the GT team and lumintop!

Wow, surely that wasn’t shipped out the day before, was it? Maybe Neal shipped some out on the 8th or even the 7th. Anyway, good news.

Sounds about right for ‘most’ DHL or express courier deliveries. Mine came from HongKong to my door in Alabama, USA in less than 48 hours.

Glad you got it. :+1:

Depending on the destination and origin it could be there next day, depends entirely on how many stops between the manufacturer and the destination. Entirely possible it was done within that timeframe though.

Thanx for that information! i always used 17track.net before i saw you mentioned TrackChecker, and this app is just amazing, i'll save a lot of time with it and it's really cool to have a nice organisation of all your tracking numbers.

For the main subject here, the BLF Gt is really impressive, i watched some videos of AdventureSportFlashlights, and seeing this BLF GT light some stuff so far away was unbelievable. really nice work on this flashlight, like usual with all the BLF projects. :THUMBS-UP:

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for this beast.

I just received my BLF GT carry bag and lens cap from the deal that Neal has going now.

Both work very well and the quality is good.

The bag has very little room for extra stuff and the light is a nice fit.

The lens cap stretches over the lens very snuggly.

I think the deal is great for US$25.

No that shipping to AUS was earlier, those 185 haven’t moved yet, they all have shipping notification but will start moving tomorrow on Monday…
CNY will affect probably all of them even DHL, so patient is crutial at this point, and most important is that things are rolling, we are no more stuck and waiting for shipping solution!!
Packages are sent out to 90+ % of first 850 orders and that is great achievement !

Big thanks to the team and all our Chinese friends who worked so hard for making all this possible.
Wish you all happy Chinese New year :smiley:

where are the packages at this moment? Lumintop is closed and Neal is on his way to his family for the holidays.

I have no notification. Does that mean that I belong among the last 10% of the waiting? :cry:

Packages are sent out from LT to pick up point for further carriers distributon. That maen that they still have reservations status…
Once they get tracking status it’s up to TA and Neal how they are going to publish those numbers…
Saying 90+% means that almost all who payd and still waiting is included.
I believe that those +–10% goes for those with late payment, and for refunds…

Thank you. I’m number 216, paid on December 2, 2017 … So I hope …

After 10+ emails to Neal I finaly got an answer, probably from his wife…

What can I say, I’m very sad. :cry:

Around 200 orders were still open, 180 lights were shipped this week, this means 99% of GT were shipped. Maybe I’m the last… :cry:
Maybe I will never get it. Who knows…

Even if I get it, GT will arrive in 4th month (March) after my payment.
