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

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.

I did not ask about the shipping type,

  • 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)

I could be wrong, but IIRC:

2 boxes = Registered
1 box = DHL

Interesting, mine came Registered in one larger box.

Correct, there are some expectations depending on the location and the service providers rules. Some allow a single large package, most do not.

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.

Yes, Neal asked me extra shipping costs.

Neal has a problem… :person_facepalming:

That sounds odd. The blf GT is made by lumintop and Neil doesn’t really own that.

Who makes the BLF GT bag?

The GT bag might have been Neal’s private initiative.

It wasn’t about the GT. It was about the bags that Neal sold.

Perhaps he used the same shade of black color as Levi on his trousers …? :person_facepalming:

Who knows, maybe the zipper tab was styled like a Levis zipper tab. :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe he will have to stop selling the bags?

Better buy one now if you want one. Lol

Look what I found, some bags which are a little similar: https://www.luisaviaroma.com/en-in/p/levi-s/men/67I-IUE001?ColorId=MDU50&lvrid=\_p_dG7O_gm&AID=12664147&PID=8479415&SID=8lNIo&utm_source=CommissionJunction&utm_medium=affiliation&utm_content=8479415

:smiley:

You definitely think like a joke, right?

Someone received just the head, some others only the tube, I not only received nothing but not even the request for payment. It's as if I had never put my name on the list. Even February is passed... I think I will never have that damn flashlight until it will be marketed.

I also put my name (and fully paid) for the BLF MT09R which I never received. At least I hope to get my money back.

If you are after 1050 on the list, the PM’s for those payments have not gone out yet. We are waiting until the existing orders are finished before we send those.

It will happen, it will just be a little while as I want to make sure we get all the existing orders taken care of first. They cans stock up on reflectors in the mean time.
