Finally, it arrived
This morning it was delivered to my home
When I arrived to home and saw it, a giggle was drawn on my face
When I opened the box, the giggle began to disappear
The tailcap was loose and could move freely inside the box to hit the other parts
When checking the tailcap there were three small dings without the anodizing
The giggle was lost
Luckily, the other parts are unmarked
The reflector is slightly OP, do not like
Knowing beforehand that the 35Es that I bought had not been shipped with the GT, I had prepared 4 NCR18650GA for testing
NCR18650GA do not make contact due to polarity protection system
I wonāt be able to prove it today
Tomorrow Iāll see what I do
With everything Iāve been waiting for and what Iāve been happened, I had hoping for a perfect GT.
That was not so
There are no giggles until now.
PD, Tomorrow I will take and post photos of dings on tailcap
Was this in the single, big DHL style box? The packing is so tight in that box itās hard to believe it would be loose. There is only a little room in between the top and bottom foam pieces.
If it was in the 2 piece registered shipping boxes the battery tube and tail cap are wrapped in bubble wrap and put in a box just big enough to fit it in.
This is the first report Iāve heard of a tail cap being loose in a box.
Looking now rested and with a more open mind
It doesnāt seem to be so rough, is not bad
Doubtless
After carefully checking the outside of the box, under a pile of stickers (labels, tapes, pieces of nylon in different colours and prints), a tape with the inscription āFedEx OPENED BY CUSTOMSā appears.
Thereās also some traces of a piece of nylon with traces of the DHL logo on it.
I can assure you that it was not opened by the Uruguayan customs because there is a whole bureaucracy set up by law
1 - Customs retains the package
2 - The recipient is notified
3 - Must be opened in the presence of the recipient or a designated representative in writing
4 - Customs closes the package with its own tape in the presence of the recipient or representative
5 - Customs (if applicable) and storage fees are paid
6 - Against the receipt of the fees the package is delivered
Because of the depth of that tape, I think it was at the customs office of departure
Tonight Iāll test it with the 30Q of the Q8
These make contact
Is that āfuture roundā aka third round of GB coming anytime soon?
Official list says we can expect PMās coming out in mid-end January 2018. I havenāt received anything. I understand that at this point itās better not to promise anything, but can we expect to receive that PM before the end of April?
