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…
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?
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.
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.
Yes, they make up for the delay in getting the packages out the door with super fast shipping to your door.
Although in some cases this means higher fees. In which case buying from someone like Neal might be your better bet as he can ship with a slower carrier that might have a chance of slipping through customs. Although with a 6lb flashlight, that is not very likely no matter how it ships if someone actually looks at it during the customs inspection.
