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

After: “KUCHING, item dispatched out ….”, I only got the next status update, once the parcel was already handed over to the local Post (after Customs).
And all those later updates were only visible inside the tracking of the local Post company. No longer on the Malaysian Post website…
So check your local Post tracking!

If Customs needs a little bit longer, this may well be the reason for the delay. I have once waited for 1 full month, for customs to finish their job…

No.

This is generally a sign that either it got caught in customs. Nothing anyone can do at that point but wait in most cases.

I have seen it take 2 months for something to clear customs and then suddenly be on it’s way like normal, not common but has happened.

Yeah, I am sure there will be some warning for sure, the next batch of PM’s won’t be sent until the existing orders are complete. Like I said, I didn’t expect china to come back online till the end of the month, which has proven to be correct.

So hopefully we start getting some updates soon and then we can start moving forward.

Until now, did someone pay extra for shipping?

Yes, there are several people I know of that have paid the extra shipping.

I was lucky to get both my packages in my mailbox the same day rather quickly but, although i’m usually staying away from the tracking fever, it has happened that a parcel got stuck in customs for weeks… and then it showed up. Just got to be patient, it usually resolves itself without looking at it. :wink:

Dannyboyy is in US, but chose registered shipping so he hasn’t got his yet. So I guess that’s at least 3 US people.

and i still havent receive any tracking code, :(, how long have i been waitied, i dunno

Someone have the email to Neal? I got to blf heads but no battery tubes.
And i only order one blf gt, so somone havent got theirs blf gt, but maybe two battery tubes instead.

Hopefully the reflectors show up next week so they can start shipments again.

Yeah, your situation is strange, if someone gets 2 battery tubes please let me know so we can sort it out.

Thanks for the soothing words patmurris :wink:

I know, when a pakkage get caught by the customs, it can take a while before releasing it.

Never had this before when ordening from Azia ground.

And no, I did not pay extra for shipping, they never ask it.

When I get my flashlight Bigfoot watch out

Good luck with that :person_facepalming:

That makes 4 of us. Was in first order group, light with batteries, registered shipping, U.S. The decision to not use DHL was a flopper. Not worried but kind of a bummer that we are last.

Any update list of the dispatched parcel ? Thanks.

Nothing yet, so far I have only gotten one quick message from Neal since the CNY, as I expected things won’t really be running again until early march.

A question, i noticed some receive their GTs as separate packages, while some are in a single large box with foam around the parts. Just random different packaging for the build lots?

What?

It’s DHL and registered mail shipping. The 2 shipping methods we had to choose ever since December. It’s been talked about over and over.
