Just got it and it is amazing!!!

Thank You TEAM GIGGLES!!!

Those cracking noises are related to thermal expansion/contraction in the same way you hear heaters or car engines ‘click’. I dont think there is anything to worry about.

I did not ask M4D M4X for my tracking number so I have not followed the whereabouts of my GT, but this sounds like it may just be near. :slight_smile:

Probably Jos! Hopefully i can post some pictures later today!

are you at home?

The item has been delivered successfully

He’s obviously not at home :smiley: , But GT currently is there :beer:

Thanks for checking :slight_smile:

No, I’m at work at school, superintending a couple of pupils doing a test atm who are trying to determine the iodine content of betadine (and I’m surfing BLF :innocent: :person_facepalming: ). It must be delivered to one of my neighbours (in the appartment complex where I live we all receive packages for each other, so that is perfectly fine).

Ha, this is the true BLF spirit over here, Martin checking the parcels of Jos :wink:
I love that spirit!

Biology teacher Djozz?

No, teaching assistent (TOA). But biologist by background.

Batteries and body arrived today. Packaging damaged here too, as You and one other posted stated before.
It is a good amount of moisture, probably dropped too.

This is a pic from the Carrier.
This end was on the “dropped” end of packet but I would not take a guess if its from manufacturing or if its from dropping.
Does not seem to be significant anyway…
Damn can´t open manual, it´s sludge….Lol.

“The END”. Anodizing has taken some hit. Again impossible to say if it´s from shipping or if it was there.
This was on the “intact” end of packaging.

BUT:

THERE WAS THAT ONE THIN layer of bubble wrap, so that the moisture DID NOT get to batteries.
(To be honest, if I was shipping these, I would probably use a lot more)
Batteries would have maybe survived some moisture but I don´t like the idea of getting them wet & rusty on the contacts.
Just to be clear: All Batteries were dry, unharmed and at decent storage voltage.

Damn, looks like savages handled those packages!

Oh, what a massacre. And I thought that only the couriers in my country do not care about packages.

I get “bruised” of damaged packets quite rarely.
From all orders they are maybe a couple of %. In most orders they dont matter at all (non-fragile).

Keeping a considerable amount of fingers now crossed, that the Head is not broken, it will arrive a bit later, maybe in 2 days. :weary:

GT arrived in Belgium, completely f*cked packaging, it’s a wonder the head was still in the box, the manual is pulp too, but the light survived fine :slight_smile:

I can’t remember if we can download the manual somewhere ?

EDIT, found manual and support thread : BLF GT official support thread [FAQ updated 11 Jan 2018]

I’ve never seen or received such damaged and wet parcels… that’s quite extraordinary. It seems the belgium post has some underwater carriers? Or the parcels get conveyed through sewage pipes or something? Is there a smell? :person_facepalming:

They can be damaged elsewhere also, who knows and most likely impossible to ever know it for certain.

There is no smell
(I´m basically a human with a dogs nose. …and for the next question you´re going to ask: no, I don´t sniff them) :smiley:
