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

I am quite sure it has nothing to do with polish people.

I think he is simply citing that Polands mail system seems to be hard to deal with.

Although I think there were some outside influences in this case that he may be forgetting such as the fact that most of the Poland packages were wet.

Which would say that there was an abnormal weather condition of some kind somewhere along the journey, most likely in china, that made things way worse and led to most of the issues.

Never been to Poland myself but I know I sure love polish sausage.

Is that really from Poland or do we just call it that for some reason?

Pardon, I assume shipping to Poland is very expensive which is why they were shipped as two registered packages instead of one DHL box. I also assume its harder to get through customs.

The same as shipping to South Africa, Brasil, Egypt, etc… Certain countries are expensive and/or difficult to ship to.

Also, I have never said anything negative about Poland. Maybe you have me confused with someone else.

Last days I recived pack from Haikelite.
I ordered 3 MT09R and few other things ( size bigger than GT ).
They send my order by DHL and I didn’t pay anything for shipping.
DHL take care about customs, and only customer pay fees.

So I suppose that the biggest problem is not the price of shipping to Poland but resistant approach of Lumintop.
That is what I thing.

You are forgetting one very important detail, the MT09R has a large profit margin, the GT at the group buy price had virtually zero profit margin.

You paid for shipping, it was simply built into the price of the light.

As the saying goes “there is no such thing as a free lunch”.

That said it is no excuse for Lumintop not having dealt with these issues already.

Is there any response from Lumintop about solving our issues?

I heard that Neal was talking to Leo about the issues yesterday, I have not heard what came of it though.

From July 7th.

It is only Monday. Leo should hopefully be contacting you guys this week.

Earlier today Neal was checking some of the names I posted in my list. Chito is a new one that popped up last week.

The fact Neal was asking about him is a good sign. Maybe Leo asked Neal for Chito’s info?

I try to be optimistic they will get things sorted.

Man not on the toilet…… Dang…….

Hey TA, could you talk to lumintop boss about making an extension? 12 cells or 16 cells version. Thanks.

It was brought up before but they didn’t really bite.

It is possible they could make a rin to allow you to connect a short tube to the end of the normal tube but I am not sure if the total length will be correct to still press the carriers against the driver properly.

Does anyone know? I don’t have a short tube myself, I always thought they were silly on a light this size.

Got my bag, 2 caps & shoulder strap yesterday. Have not had time to play.

Okay, removed from list.

Excluding me from the list now? Cause I’m from Texas?

Lol. Kidding , thanks for your help, I know it’s a lot of work.

Can I be removed from the list, I just got lucky and won a tester GT 70 on ebay…… Move the guy under me up one…… I’m on #138

This is the GT thread, the GT70 has it’s own thread. That said:

You can use the link you got in the confirmation email to change your reservation to 0 if you desire.

At 2450 meters of throw make sure you buy a good pair of binoculars to see whats down there……. I was using a TN42 VN in a Texas hunt and spoted a Coyote…… 700 yards away in total darkness, saw his eye balls blinking……… Then Bam…… So the GT or the GT 70 should be good for this……

Thanks haven’t been around that long……

Jason/TA, I received my bag and cap on Monday. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I’ll remove you from the list.
