Thanks for the info! I got my “I’m in” … in … about a month ago. So for now I’ll just sit tight and eagerly wait for that PM.

Got my PM and placed the order.

Thanks Team!

a few country need to pay a bit shipping difference because the shipping is too expensive

BLF GT got free shipping to Finland but not this one?! If really so then too bad as I was waiting to order this one but now unfortunately has to pass!

Most BLF GT had the shipping charge built into the price since shipping was typically $40-$60. Some countries cost over $100 to ship. I’m guessing Finland was in that typical $40-$60 range so Lumintop covered it.

With a $36 light, like the FW3A, the profit margin is much slimmer so a small increase in shipping cost is not easily absorbed. This is why certain countries might have an extra shipping charge.

First the deal price was supposed to be $30 then it went to $36 and now Neal wants even more extra $?! I understand the emitter choice is raising the price but not this sudden “shipping difference”!
Aliexpress, eBay and almost all sellers manage to ship free from China to Finland. I dont mind that much about shipping costs as long as the total price paid wont go up. The deal was $36 max.

Thanks Jason!

That definitely explains it.

Ordered 1 in 3D; I will order another when the SST20 95CRI is released

You are not being forced into purchasing the light just because you are on the list. If the shipping is a deal breaker then simply don’t purchase. You won’t be charged anything. This particular flashlight is much less expensive than the GT and has a slimmer margin of profitability. I could be wrong, but I can’t recall any absolute promises to keep group buy prices, (flashlights plus shipping cost) under 36$. Also I’m confused how you expect the shipping cost to be increased but not the overall price?

Hm, assuming ….

• Script start time of ~12:00 CST 2019/04/26
• 95 second per-row execution time
• The “names” list in post #4 is the execution order
• My hasty Exel-Fu isn’t terribly off

… looks like at #1061 I should expect notification around 16:00 CST 2019/04/27.

[basic42]

In 4 one.

just ordered. During checkout was it you guys experience that you couldn’t get the discount unless you type in your info?
I couldn’t go straight to PayPal.

I experience that with the Code itself on many sites. If I copy & paste a code I always do a skip & a backspace & it works just fine for me.

I have an account on Neals site so the name & address was auto filled in.

Just got a little concerned because I thought nealsgadgets was in the US but my card is already charged and
looks like its in China.

I’ve ordered from him, before. Don’t worry, Neal is legit.

[teachtom]

I got my PM and ordered with VTC6. Thank you to all the people who worked on this project.

[Lane32x]

I did not notice that this thread was started 2 years ago. dang!
So, are they still adding to the group-buy entries, or are they only giving discounts for the people who joined initially?

[xCentrino]

When are we guessing the latest we can make the purchase?

I have received a PM. I will purchase one now and my second one later. Pending answer may purchase both now.

Also a battery recommendation please. Edit: never mind see options on neals page.

[shirnask]

Ordered one, the other 5 will wait for a high CRI option

[lmcmann]

For those keeping track of progress, I just got my PM and ordered my lights. Still want to get a couple of the high CRI ones when they get released as well.

I got the PM exactly when the math said I would, almost to the minute.

Can’t believe this day arrived! Thanks all for your extraordinary work!

[bushmaster]

What was your number?(I’m too lazy to do the math)

[lmcmann]

I was 1145 in the main list. Like 846 or something in the cut-down one.

[cypherz]

Got PM. Ordered!

Thanks! I’m 9-something, so I’m getting close.
