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?

From July 7th.
JasonWW:
Neal just let me know that he did in fact forward all the information on the GT issues to Lumintop. So they will have tracking numbers, etc…
He said they should start working on the GT issues this coming week, July 9-13. So hopefully we will hear from Lumintop soon.
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.

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.

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……

BLF GT CW vs Astrolux MF04 CW
Lux reading at 10 meter throw distance.
Both flashlights with 1A D4 bin emitters.

Makes sense, the MF04 has a larger reflector.
Dang it be ugly though, but then I think the short tube on the GT is ugly as well (although not quite as bad lol).
