It really is up to Lumintop to fix the issues, the Team can only do so much.
I sent Leo 2 or 3 PM and emails and have not heard from him at all.
Texas_Ace told me Leo would like to get it sorted, but the Lumintop boss refuses to let him spend any more money.
There was even a Lumintop employee who gave back a GT refund instead of just a battery refund and they had to pay it back out of their own salary. (The recipient kept the money and dissappeared instead of returning it)
Neal is not in charge of the GT issues anymore, but Iāve heard he is still trying to sort out a few.
Bruno28 got offered a replacement reflector, but he needed to pay $40 to ship it. Thatās no good.
Northcentralpositronics replacement tail cap got lost in shipping, they are sending a new one. I guess itās a very cheap part to ship.
So gigles team are involved with gt70 project and no one solved the problems.
Just great job giggles team!
I think you are very happy. Some people lost their money but who cares! Lets do some other bussiness with lmā¦
You want me to fly to China and whip the Lumintop bosses #$$ until he forks over the parts or gives refunds?
Donāt blame me or the team for something the boss over there did.
On the GT70, TA asked me if I would help out. Iām not a fan of Lumintop at the moment, but I donāt mind helping TA out.
1750 folks got their lights at a great price. 11 did not. To the boss at Lumintop this is acceptable. To me, TA, Neal and everyone else, this is terrible. There is not much we/I can do about it, though.
Edit: Never mind, was just my opinion and Iāve heard we all have one.
So Go Team Giggles, I am so very proud of our Team no matter what.
Thank you for everything you have done for all of us.
A Thankless job as it appears.
10 people might buy a BLF GT directly from Lumintop, while Banggood will probably buy 100+ of them directly. Shipping costs and the economy of scale help the price go down by quite a bit.
Yes I realized that TA after I made my comment, AS usual, so thatās why I edited it out,
I donāt want to start any confusion or have others upset or feeling ripped off or something other.
I generally try to keep my opinions to myself, but I slipped upā¦ Sorry and thank you for the explanation, makes perfect sense.
Edit: My two favorite buttons are delete and edit, oh and Log Out, Have a wonderful evening allā¦
Yep, that is indeed another factor. Banggood generally orders in multiples of 500-1000 is what I have heard, although on larger things like this 100-250 is a reasonable guess.
No problem, most people are not aware of the back end side of retail and things like that (prices being higher at lumintop direct vs banggood) are easy to mis-understand.
GT: sp5it - got damaged head, still waiting on response for replacement zelee - got damaged head, still waiting on response for replacement FreeMagenta - First GT lost, replacement GT status unknown Bruno28 - waiting for replacement reflector VRT - recieved battery tube, but not head. No updates Tete - recieved battery tube, but not head. No updates Jimmy007 - first GT lost, no word on replacement k125bw - waiting on replacement battery carriers Dustynell - light not shipped due to address issues Chito - got damaged head, no other details mentioned Northcentralpositronics - missing tail cap
I have not heard anything about these issues. I assume they are all still unresolved.
VRT, Dustynell and FreeMagenta never answered my PM so I donāt know about them.
Thanks, that works as well. Now that I am reminded about this I am quite curious on what the status of these are. The boss was fighting me pretty hard but Leo and Neal said they would try to do everything they could to get them taken care of anyways.
