[PART 2] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Closed, but Public sales open!

Well, you should get an email letting you know you have a PM unless you disabled emails on BLF.

It looks like the new public price will be $299 as opposed to $325. This is the new price I see on Lumintops Aliexpress store. I donā€™t know if that is final or if they will change it again in a couple days.

Some changes apparently happened while I was in bed last night to the public sale side of things. I will have to wait until I talk to Neal and lumintop before saying anything else.

Itā€™s the same store that used to have them for $399. Then the price was $325 for a while, then I noticed it was $299.

It currently says ship out time is 7 days. So maybe they are taking orders now, but not shipping until next week. Idk, I just thought it was interesting.

Ps, DHL shipping to the USA is $83!

We have been trying to work a deal for BLF members to get a ā€œgroup discountā€, not like the first prices batch prices but better then full retail. If this goes through we will start a sign up sheet for people to get in line for the discounted public price soon.

This has caused some delays in the public sales but if it is approved I am sure that many will be happy with the discount compared to full retail.

It is still in the works, I will post more when I know more.

Although I can confirm that lumintop has set a cutoff of ~2 weeks from when the PMā€™s are sent for people to pay. The script had an error last night so we are going to try again but the PMā€™s should be going out any day now.

:+1:

Sounds like a good deal, but can you confirm the original group buy batches will be shipped out before we start worrying about creating more lists?

No answers from Neal till now.

In round 3. I live in this thread now. Actually, I made myself at home six months ago.

That was what I understood but I thought I picked up a hint of a chance in your comment about drop outs. No worries.

I guess iā€™m having some CRS moments.

Ok, we cleared the survey list of old issues so we can start fresh. Anyone that still has an open issue please fill out the survey form again. I will add this to the op

We have 400 lights reserved for this batch of the GB and 50 lights for the public. They will not interferer with the GB orders. Also all 450 lights are in stock sitting on the shelves at lumintop, so there will not be the long waiting game this time around. I am guessing ~2 weeks for most orders to be shipped.

They have the reflectors for the next and final batch on order and they are told they should be in around the end of April or early may but take that with a gain of salt based on past experiences.

Thanks again for all the hard work TA. :beer:

I have filled in again, since I havenā€™t heard of any update on my bad reflector for over a month. I was told I would get a replacement sent to me by Neal.

Ok, I will sick Neal on the new survey next time I talk to him.

Texas Ace can you please let Neal know about my reflector also, filled out survey awhile ago and havenā€™t heard back. Thank you.

Is Neal on radio silence again?

I sent a PM to Neal 48 hours ago, still no answer
I wanted to know if there was any news about the shipment of the pending batteries and the short tube
He told me heā€™d send them in one package

Should I fill out the survey again?

Go ahead and fill it out again. I am going to sick him on it next time I talk to him.

You can fill it out again, it makes it easier to keep track of issues.

It is the weekend in China now, so I am sure that is playing a role. I generally do not hear much out of china from Friday night to Monday.
