Hello and salutations snarky cool guy!
What more is needed? I got a refund in a random amount, I have no what was cancelled or why, the amount does not equal any particular item or set of items, and I never received the specific items mentioned.
Sincerely,
Stupid ass uncool guy.
Snarky cool guy at least hooked me with Neal’s contact info, so I just PM’d him about it.
On a side note, the lights are bad. ass……but boy would that strap come in handy!
:sunglasses: …

Was it 40.50 by chance? Neal said he was refunding my battery order, but I haven’t got it yet.
I have a lux meter and a GT and from the (south) east. So maybe i can help.
I think you’ve found the person you’re looking for. JasonWW is the main public contact for the BLF GT project lately, doing most of the public support and trying to get issues resolved. If his message sounded strange for a forum member, it’s probably because he’s involved in the project and trying to help.
It was in fact 40.50 Is that one set of batteries after TT&L?
Not even a BLF-GT could bridge the long dark stretch between “strange” and rude you’re selling.
I must have missed something… maybe a deleted post? Whatever it was, it doesn’t appear to be here any more.
In any case, it sounds like JasonWW and/or Neal are probably trying to resolve things in private. Hopefully they can figure out what happened with your order.
To answer your question… Yes, $40.50 would be the exact amount refunded for 1 set of 8 batteries.
Did you order batteries & not receive them??
Bags, straps, & caps are shipped separately by snail mail…… 2 - 4 or more weeks depending on your location in the world.
If the refund was $40.50 then that is most likely a refund for the cells, some places can not have the cells shipped so they were forced to send refunds.
You can contact “Neal” on here for more details, he is the one that sent the refund and will know why it was sent.
Yep, for 1 set of 8. I ordered them on the last day of the gb. Neal said the batteries could no longer be mailed alone and it would have to be refunded. He said he would refund it a couple days ago when he went to LT. May be sent the refund to you by mistake.
He said this to you, who lives in USA?
My first thought was batteries too, but I’ve never heard of shipping restrictions from Lumintop to the USA. This seems quite odd.
Yes, that’s what he said. The order was for an extra set that I placed on the 20th. I didn’t see anything that said an extra set couldn’t be ordered. When I asked him about the order, that’s when he said I would have to be refunded because they couldn’t be sent alone.
I see that Alamo was #1079 and #1080. The cutoff for paying was May 3rd, so he should have received his lights a long time ago.
If he had ordered batteries at that time they should have been shipped in the lights.
My guess is he ordered the batteries (as well as bags and straps) at a later point in time (unknown date). The bag and straps are probably still traveling to him, but the batteries had to be refunded.
Hopefully Neal will give him an answer soon and explain things. Lumintop and Neal don’t work weekends, but their Monday starts sooner than ours in the USA.
Interesting, I don’t remember hearing about this. I’ll ask TA if he knew about it.
That guess makes the most sense so far. If Alamo had just given all the facts of what was ordered, when it was ordered, & exact amount refunded, when he first asked this question; instead of calling you “snarky cool guy” …… he could have received a much better answer to begin with.
That is not meant to be rude or snarky Alamo…… just a fact.
Jason was simply trying to help you figure out the problem you posted about. To figure it out, the details were needed……. not generalities.
Yes, Things have gotten even more strict for shipping cells and Neal can only ship them inside lights now. I wanted to order some cells from him myself but he told me the same thing.
So any extra cells that would not fit inside the GT’s will need to be refunded.
Got my refund last night and today ordered some 30Q’s from Liion Wholesale. They put the button on them like our 35E’s.
I received 1 bag & cap set today via regular standard mail but the problem is I ordered 2 bag & cap sets. I’d assume both sets would have come together for shipping cost reasons…How long should I wait to see if the 2nd bag & cap set shows up before I report it to Neal? Thx
