The BLF GT70 "Giggle Monster" is here! 7,500lumens, 1,500m throw! Group buy Closed!

Hmm, received phone call from DHL (robocall, not a person) with a tracking number saying I have a delivery expected Tuesday. Must be this I think :slight_smile:

DHL left telephone message that I have package delivery with tracking no. xxxxxxxxxx tomorrow, Tuesday, October 2, 2018.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Strange, They did not tell me anything about ending the coupon code.

I just PM’ed you the latest email, you might of found the first email with a different link.

Let me know if that works for you.

Neal mentioned on his FB page he would sell the GT70 head by itself for 160. If it were 120, I would have bought one.

For the people who have received delivery information, did you order just a GT70 or did any of you order a conversion kit also? I realize the conversion kits have not shipped but I ordered both the kit and a light and didn't know if the they would ship separate or together. I am in no hurry but would like to know if I should be watching for the GT70 this week.

Complete light.

Complete light

Complete light plus batteries and misc. accessories.

I ordered a complete light plus carriers and have not received any tracking or shipment info. I called DHL and they have no shipment entered for my address, name, or phone number. Leo has not responded yet concerning tracking, but unless it was shipped to the USA via another carrier, my light probably has not shipped out yet. Bummer….

It is doubtful anyone will hear from Leo or almost anyone else in China this week, they take holidays very seriously lol.

Yeah, I knew that not all the orders were able to get shipped and I would guess some also got caught in china for the duration of the holiday. Leo said he got most of them finished though.

Got a message as well. (Great)

And then another message (not that great)

I have to pay customs (thats not the bad thing).

The bad thing is that the light got shipped with DHL Express.
They charge ridiculous amounts of money for their services (taking care of the customs, etc?).

There will be yet another delay of 2 to 4 weeks.

Estimated additional costs (customs&handling): 90-180USD

Im speechless…

Damn, and I thought the 10% tax we get slugged with in Australia for all foreign purchases sucked. Hopefully you only have to pay the lower side or less than you estimated.

On a mildly related note, I just got a notice from BG that some stuff shipped so there are obviously still some people working if the shipping notice is to be believed…

Hey guys,

I’ve been out of pocket for the past few weeks so I haven’t had a chance to follow up on this. Going through my emails I realized I bought a CW conversion kit back on Sept 13th. My order still says “Wait for Shipping.” Any update on when these will ship?

Next Saturday will be a month. What gives? :expressionless:

I don’t know if the buy is over, but try typing the code in manually, the website is finicky and doesn’t like copy paste. Also you can’t put the code in and just click next, you have to do something else, click somewhere else, or maybe press enter, it’s weird. But the proper price should show on the screen with the box for the code, that’s how you’ll know it worked.

Hope it works for you!

I just got an email from lumintop so im not sure either (great service btw).

Would be nice if it would be cheaper but that would be too good to be true.

Taxes are like 19% over here. But they calculate them based on a lot of things. Not only on the price that I paid. & DHL takes a lot as well. And theres a lot of additional fees. Kinda complicated

The ‘conversion kits’ have not shipped yet. It will be sometime after 7 October before they do. Not sure how much “after”… It might be a couple of weeks or more…… but that is unknown.

I am very sorry to hear that, in the US tariffs are taking effect so we also expect some price hikes but at least in our case we should know the price up front and not get hit with a bunch of taxes after the fact.

The conversion kits have not shipped yet as they were not ready and by the time they were the NW GT70’s were also ready. They put priority on getting the GT70’s shipped out first before the holiday.

Lumintop hopes to get caught up on all the orders next week is what they told me. Although I would not be surprised if it took an extra week.

I could have been done a conversion kit for myself long time ago :cry:
And again as the GT I chosen the way my stuff paid early and will be shipped last.

Woo! My GT70 NW arrived in perfect condition! A bit cool of a CCT for me, but I have a spare 3000K 70.2 I can swap in at some point.
