Trust me I have considered it but they have the light and honestly it would work in their benefit to ditch the last of the GB sales and go direct to public sales.
So I have to walk a line or they will do just that.
This GB has been just as much of a hassle and nightmare for them as for us.
Although really the issues mostly lie with Neal I am sad to say. He needs to get in contact and stay in contact right away.
Heck we can’t even get the Teams donation funds since they are apparently locked up in Neals account.
No, it is still the weekend. I don’t expect a reply until overnight tonight at the earliest.
I will be sending out new emails to both Neal and lumintop in the morning, I should hear back from lumintop fairly quick but they are limited in what they could do in the past since Neal was handling the money and other such things.
It is possible Neals account being frozen is part of why they started selling outside the GB, it only started in mass after his account was frozen from what I understand
The reflectors delays are real, I have heard this from both Neal and lumintop. Trust me, they gained nothing by delaying the shipment of lights, they wanted to have them all shipped last year and be open to public sales months ago. Why people would suggest otherwise is beyond me.
Dealing with Chinese requires you to know their business habits and what’s done different over there. Also speaking Chinese is a must if details should not be lost in translation.
That person is Neal. Without him there would be no Group buy with Lumintop
He also received the money and probably is paying Lumintop per batch/shipment. He is also supplying the shipping addresses per batch and keeps track of what has been shipped.
1: It doesn’t effect past orders. Just future orders and the ability for lumintop to have access to the funds from prior orders.
2: I am not privy to the details of the payment arrangement. Although I assume that lumintop has been paid in batches for prior orders.
3: This was settled months ago, lumintop would eat the extra shipping costs but would use cheaper / slower shipping methods to some areas. People could pay an extra fee to use a faster/better service if they chose.
4: I have not gotten any replies since the last shipment, last I heard I would have the tracking numbers last week. It will not be posted publicly, that much I can tell you.
5 This has been attempted as well.
6: I am pretty sure there is nothing to solve with the last 50 orders, they should all be shipped and on the way as of last week. We simply don’t have the tracking numbers for them. We do have a list of outstanding issues that needs to be addressed ASAP though.
It’s not about the last 50,there are other issues that haven’t been taken care in weeks ,no answer at all - seams like Neal is the only chinese capable to speak english ,but in fact,as he never answered me to my orders , i believe that LT would need to step up and fix the issues,as they surely got my money - if Neal is too busy to handle this issues,it would be nice to admit it and the Giggle Team look for other option ,Lumintop has so good comunicating persons that are selling the GT through other channels,is there anything that it stops the GiggleTeam to deal directly with LT?
Hi guys, I try posting as little as possible to stop this thread getting so long but just want to throw this out there: If Lumintop fail to honour the rest of the groupbuy then surely that will affect the FW3A gb (over $33k already) and any future deals.
Many thanks Texas_Ace and rest of team for your hardwork!
We've not been getting good updates from Neal recently.
Mostly his utter lack of communication since CNY, putting me in an even harder place then I have been the last 5 months and putting more and more work on me by the day.
I don’t mind Neal’s celebration,neither honeymoon or wedding or whatever,i respect it,but the GT i payed on 2 december ,suposedly sent on 7february wich only shows “preregistered,pending of deposit” ever since, and Neal’s silence,definetely is frustrating - as almost 4 months now since i payed ,the same cells that i ordered through m4xm4x site to Neal,never arrived and neither been sent ,even though i payed separately shipping so i could get them be4 the GT - if Neal cannot deal with these issues,neither Lumintop,how can people like me still trust the groupbuys from now on?
