Sofirn Q8 group buy (gb closed, but try PM to Sofirn for discount)

Thats whats up.

Thanks for the beam description . This weekend I will be comparing the two Q8s myself.

My guess is logistics considerations (both timing and economics). They may not have had enough lights close enough to you (or me).

I ordered mine yesterday night. The earliest they could get it to me, at any price, is Wednesday, if I pick it up at a locker near one of their local delivery hubs, and Thursday if I want it home delivered.

This isn’t typical. I’ve had stuff with next day delivery come from their distribution center out side of Las Vegas leave the morning after I ordered it and get dropped at my doorstep that afternoon.

It’s irritating though, and your case is extreme enough that they should do something to make good.

I’ve had very good results normally whenever there was a problem.
I feel that they should have offered to upgrade the shipping.
Oh well, I have two of the BLF models, which are serving me fine.

400 lights are already made, 300 of them will stay in China, 50 will be shipped to Amazon US, and 50 to Amazon DE.

Sorfin shipped 50 lights to amazon US… so they probably out of stock…

I guess the stars lined up and crossed fingers, as well as “logistics considerations (both timing and economics)” all fell in line for me. :smiley:

I ordered sometime Friday 21 September & mine got here about an hour ago on today, Tuesday 25 September. :+1:

No PRIME, just regular old ‘Free Shipping’.

Ya’ gotta love it…… :wink:

Sometimes it’s just Karma, teach…. :wink:

Nice teacher… roll tide !

Amazon still have 7 q8 left… so it’s possible they has not shipped yet…

Hmmm… good point DB C…… :slight_smile: . :wink:

Lucky son of a bbbb…lol
…hope you like it man.

:smiley: …… Yep. :+1: Charging batteries and wating for darkness. :slight_smile:

As far as getting it pretty quick………

  • Some days are diamond, some days are stone.
  • Some days your the windshield, some days the bug.

Looks like I came out diamond & windshield on this. :smiley:

I guess Chinooker was stone & bug…… :wink:

I played ball with a lawyer once upon a time, on the way in to the stadium one day I met him going in and asked how things were…his response was “Some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you!”

/\ That’s a good one, I like it!! :+1:

! !

A Stoned Bug! Coool! :slight_smile:

:+1: … I’d say that about sums it up. :wink:

You know things are in the slow boat from China stage when the conversation takes this path… :wink:

Sometimes I like to make anagrams of people’s names, rearranging the letters to see what else they can spell. Last time I did that I found a bunch, but two anagrams in particular made for good pseudonyms, depending on how her day is going:

  • Anna’s having oatmeal.
  • Oatmeal’s having Anna.

Unfortunately, she’s now going on a solid week of being bested by oatmeal. I hope that turns around soon.

Gotta watch those Quakers

(Mormons too) :wink:

Received mine, interesting clover beam spill. Decently bright light, well machined… no qualms about this light, I feel like it’s a good all around light. Using samsung wj1s.
