I will keep this in mind. We might have some kind of special option that allows this with an extra fee for special instructions.
Oh, another change we will have for the next round is there will be a fee for changes to the order done after the order was placed. The amount has not been decided, most likely like $3-5.
This is where a lot of issues came from in the last batch so hopefully this will ensure people get the information right the first time.
Good idea, I will ask Neal about this. Although I am not sure if people will really get an option outside of some kind of special request this time around.
The exact details are still in the works but I can confirm there will not be any 2 part shipments this time. Also Lumintop will be limiting the shipping services to ones they know work. So I am not sure if people will get a choice of what service to use or not unless they have special needs and contact Neal ahead of time.
Like I said, the details are still in the works.
This is not the case that the packages to the people below came in so damaged and wet. I think that the address on my package could become illegible due to the wetting.
But of course, according to You, it is the fault of the Polish post. See that these packages have reached different countries in this condition
I am not in charge of the shipping. I will talk to Neal about it when he wakes up.
I know they are looking into these issues, I just have not heard anything else past that.
I also know that 60 days is the usual time frame for a package to be considered truly lost in international shipping from experience.
So based on these I assume they are giving it a bit more time.
Not to worry, you will get your light, just a matter of time.
I will ask Neal about this tonight.
It’s kinda sad that some people will get as many as 4 lights and some will end up with nothing after waiting all these months for a PM to purchase one. Why can’t LT cover the entire GB list?
Wow, that sounds more than fair. As much trouble as this caused I would have figuted more like $15 - $25…… Around 10% - 15%.
LT is being very reasonable if they hold it at $3 –5. :+1:
This sounds excellent also. Using what they know works should cut down problems tremendously.
THANKS AGAIN……. LT, TA, Neal, & all involved. Well Done!!! :+1:
I think it has been said before, a few times in fact; that the GB limit was 1500 lights.
IMO… that is a very gracios number LT allowed.
I am actually discussing this with lumintop as part of the deal for selling the lights publicly.
At this point it is a “lets wait and see how things go before we commit to this but we are open to it” type of answer.
I have ya’ll best in mind, trust me. But I also firmly believe a deal is only a deal if both parties benefit.
Nice…… :+1:
It’s not sad at all. Anyone could get much more than 4. You could sign up for 10 if you wanted to.
Also, we don’t know yet if anyone will be left out or not. Everyone on the list might get their light. We just have to wait and see.
Keep in mind the list was going on for over a year. It was a huge and popular thread back in 2016 when I first saw it. Not a whole lot of people were signing up, including myself. Then in the last few weeks of the group buy we had a lot of new people sign up to BLF just to get on the GT list.
No one should be getting sad because they might not get a flashlight at a sale price. It’s just a flashlight. Most people don’t even need it, they just want it. If there are some people who miss out on the sale price after the 1500th light is bought, it is not the end of the world. The lights will still be sold. I’m sure there will be coupon codes as well to bring the price way down.
(Sorry, I just don’t understand why people get emotional over these things)
I was sent this video today when I asked how they were able to open the GT so easy (long story). I guess this means I was not doing it right lol:
Ok, just got an update on the Polland packages as well, Lumintop / Neal have contacted the carrier and they put a trace on the packages. As soon as they hear back on that they will make the next move.
It’s a lot easier if you loosen the upper head from the light engine first. That takes the pressure off of that o-ring on the lens. That giant o-ring can create massive amounts of friction. Then the bezel will unscrew by hand.
I believe that tool is used to tighten GT too. That explains why it is so tight.
Does Lumintop sell that tool too? :sunglasses: Just kidding.
Wow, I didn’t mean “sad” literally. It was just a figure of speech.
Not being emotional, just blabbing. LOL
Anyway, my hat is off to all on the GT team, Neal, Lumintop and anyone else involved.
lol, yes that is it’s main job. They were just poking fun at me when I complained that I was having trouble opening my light. 
Good to know Lumintop has good sense of humour. 
u can easily print one, it’s not hard
Very tough for me, I am not into 3D drawing or printing, and I think plastic twist has to be strong enough to twist GT open because it is tighten with such a big metal tool.
About missing packages…. Mine head package was so wet and soaked, that address was almost unreadable. It comes with piece of paper with handwritten address by post office employee I guess and packed to foil bag together. That might explain undelivered packages.
