Yeah… all mine were double boxed too from the GB. But the padding inside is what’s important. If the box holds together long enough to keep the padding & contents together, and safely delivered…. that is what counts.
I don’t blame LT for eliminating the outer box…… it was basically an unnecessary expense.
Were we supposed to have been refunded the shipping charges already?
Did anyone receive their ordered caps and straps with there flashlights. I was under the impression (and told by Lumintop) that the accessories would ship with the lights.
Also, is anyone else having issues turning the “360” tailcap strap ring? I’ve tried loosening the nut (how loose before leaks?) but I haven’t been able to budge the ring even with a leverage pin in the ring hole.
Explain to me what shipping charges your refering to? Did they over charge you or something?
If you ordered just a cap and strap then those can fit in the GT box and usually were. The bags had to be shipped seperate as they are too big for the GT box. If you only ordered straps and caps and they forgot to put it in the GT box, then they should send it e-packet. This is all related to the one piece DHL box. If your in a country where it was shipped registered mail in two small boxes then the cap and strap had to be shipped e-packet. Neal is the person in charge of caps, bags and straps. You can PM him here. If you need an email let me know and I can look for it.
It sounds like your oring in the tailcap got pinched. You have to loosen the screw under the sticker, get it lined up, then tighten it back down. Put the sticker back or use a new sticker to act as a safety insulator in case you put the carrier in backwards.
Yep I had one tight anchor ring on the GT70. Same thing, couldn’t rotate it with a pin punch thru the lanyard hole. Take the ring nut off and try pulling the anchor ring out. Mine was a bitch. The top o-ring land had a heavy burr on it. When assembled at the factory the burr jammed the ring into a press fit. Pull the inner o-ring out and file the top land O.D. till it clears the anchor ring, test the fit with out the o-ring, when all is good, clean, grease and reassemble. That’s what I found on my example anyways.
One down! Thanks!! I had to pop off the anchor ring with the bottom of my hammer handle. I didn’t have so much of a burr as the remnants of a burr wedged in there - if that makes sense. O-ring was not pinched. Works now, but wished it worked as delivered. Do you know of a suitable replacement for the insulating sticker. I set mine down on a napkin and ruined the adhesive. Thanks again for sharing as using a strap was a big deal for me.
I had some issues ordering the accessories and Lumintop resolved it but added shipping even though agreeing to ship the accessories with my light. Texas_Ace looked into it and said Lumintop would be issuing refunds for shipping in time. Unfortunately, accessories did not ship with my light (USA DHL). Does that mean the shipping charges will stand?
Hang on, I’m confused. This thread we are in now is for the xhp35-HI original GT. Are you talking about that group buy or the other group buy with the newer xhp70.2 GT70?
