BLF Lantern Purchase/Followup Information - Group Buy list is Closed!!!!

Assuming batch 2 doesn’t have the color variations, what do we do with our codes if we want to wait for LT1 colors to go into production? It sounds like they will expire before Sofirn can produce the green and gold versions.

People please READ the 1st Post!!!

I quote: ” Please do not post in this thread until PM’s have been sent.”

I got a code for 1 lantern but it was w/o batteries. Can someone send me a code WITH batteries?

You have to buy from eBay or AliExpress in order to get the battery option is how things are set up now. You can contact Sofirn to confirm that.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that cause the code provided to me states lantern ONLY. So I thought I would need to get a different code to get one with batteries.

Planning to get it from Amazon.

My PM stated that if I needed a eith battery code I should respond by PM to the sender.

Thanks, I replied once I got the first message. I wasn’t aware it was Sofirn that sent the code. I thought it was LT team.

:frowning:

This was on Amazon.com, is there any codes for Amazon.co.uk?

I have an issue. I’ve already posted my question back to Sofirn using the PM they originally sent my code to. But, I’ve been waiting for an answer and I’m getting just a little bit impatient, so I’ll post it here as well. :smiling_imp:

I received an Amazon discount code for ordering one LT1 lantern. I’m expecting to get my other two codes later. Since I have a balance in my PayPal account that I’d like to spend, I decided to try using eBay to purchase a lantern instead. As some of you will remember, Sofirn made some lanterns available at the Amazon store, some at eBay, and some at AliExpress. I used the official instruction, which was to use the eBay “Make an Offer” link to request the GB price, and leave a comment with my BLF user ID. After that, Sofirn was supposed to agree to the price and proceed with the sale. I checked back on my eBay account a short while later, and my offer was rejected. The seller had noted that I was given an Amazon code by PM and I should use that to purchase my LT1. I don’t really have a lot of extra money to spend right now. I was really expecting to be able to use PayPal, where I have a balance available which is enough to purchase my lanterns. Is there any possibility of buying through Amazon and still paying with PayPal? Amazon doesn’t have PayPal as a payment option, do they?

I actually got two PM’s from Sofirn for lanterns without batteries. I replied requesting a code for a lantern WITH batteries, and then sent it promptly. Just placed my Amazon order, all set.
Hope this helps!

Pretty sure Jeff Bezos/Amazon is doing everything within their considerable power to smash Paypal like a bug.

Amazon does not use Paypalat all. Can you use the paypal balance to nuy a Visa or Mastercard gift card…. Then that GC can be used on Amazon.

Can you use a PayPal debit card to buy on Amazon?

Has anyone successfully ordered from AliExpress at the GB price?

I couldn’t: https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_xkprldvh

Uhhhh…

Are you aware that it’s Saturday over there already?

Wait until Sunday for them to respond. :slight_smile:

Try contacting Barry0892 by PM. He’s coordinating everything from the Sofirn side. According to him you should be able to buy from any of the 3 sites.

As long as it hss a visa or mastercatd logo, probably.

Well you couldn’t because you didn’t try?
Place the order but don’t pay for it, let them know your BLF ID, wait for them to adjust the price of your order and then pay it.
