Possible custom officer tested it to make sure it is a flashlight?
Yes, I was thinking this as well, this is quite possible if the customs are as strict as he says they are.
Ya, they could have assembled it and found that their D size batteries could not power GT up. :person_facepalming:
Customs can be a nightmare. Here too… :rage:
Looking now rested and with a more open mind
It doesn’t 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 “FedEx OPENED BY CUSTOMS” appears.
There’s 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 I’ll test it with the 30Q of the Q8
These make contact
See you later
Yeah, that would explain it, it is not like lumintop to leave the tailcap loose, they know it would just cause damage. Customs is a royal pain.
Hi,
Is that “future round” aka third round of GB coming anytime soon?
Official list says we can expect PM’s coming out in mid-end January 2018. I haven’t received anything. I understand that at this point it’s better not to promise anything, but can we expect to receive that PM before the end of April?
Yes, We wanted to send them out last week but had some technical issues that caused a delay with the PM’s.
They should be going out any day now. The public sales will open at the same time.
In other news I just got done distributing the Donations from the first rounds of the GB to the team now that Neals paypal account is working again.
We ended up with around $875 of user donations for the first rounds.
I speak for the whole team when I say thank you!
Excellent! I’m definitely getting excited to finally have this beast of a light on order soon!
It nothing in relation to all the hard work you guys did, thanks again!
When comes the news, that the 3 group can buy the lamp?
Check out post # 594.
Thank you teacher I have overlooked it, although I read this thread every day :innocent:
Where do you see that?
You might be quoting something that was posted back in December. All the current info is in post #1 of this thread.
Post #5 in this thread
Now it is 60 days after my two registered mails with GT was send and never received… I send PM to Neal what are He going to do…
My GT has finally arrived! Thank you all who have made this possible! It was well worth waiting for!
I never even noticed that.
It was probably written in Dec, back before we knew there would be delays due to the reflectors.
I’ll fix it.
some idiom’s about waiting for the GT payment email ; :person_facepalming:
an eternity
It’s Been a Dog’s Age.
Time Immemorial
Are We There Yet?
like watching paint dry
When Pig’s Fly
When Hell Freezes Over
Until The Cows Come Home
a coon’s age
It’s been ages…
Seems like It’s been forever
Light years!
any day now!
good things take time!
( paypal funds are ready,
I hope to be the first to push the pay button on the next batch)
