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.
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.
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.
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?
i asked why some people received their lights in “separate” boxes (some at separate times) (IE: head in one box, and the body in another separate box) but some came in a single larger box together. (as mine did)
No, no. The shipping type is the answer to your question.
If you chose DHL shipping you get a single box with a default declared value of $25.
If you choose registered mail shipping you get two boxes with each box having a default $14.95 declared value.
Within the group of people who asked for Registered Mail, there were a few countries or people who got the single DHL box due to that location not having shipping restrictions on package size and weight.
There we’re also a few instances where the shipper was experimenting to see what packages were able to be shipped through customs without getting any problems. Like TA says below.
