Have you ordered your BLF LT1 yet?

it is one per person from what is reported, also it looks like eBay circumvents the order of the list. Also eBay hit me with added tax all of a sudden on my two razors this week I bought.

Maybe they have a spreadsheet that tracks your blf handle. Like for me, they send me a code and logged it under my blf handle, then when I try on eBay, they ask for me blf handle and if I give them dealgrabber2002, they can see the code already been given out via Amazon.

It is not a foolproof system, and that is not essential either in my opinion, if things do not go seriously wrong everyone on the list will eventually get their lantern for the discounted price. This is no different from the other BLF projects, lots of irregularities in the sales process but in the end all the people got their lights and the manufacturer got their money.

(one exception and it was me organising it :person_facepalming: : the double UV Romisen project from years ago went wrong, only 50 lights were produced for a list of 200, it was completely random who got their lights and who did not)

I forgot about that aspect of the UV Romisen project...

I was one of the lucky few that got one of the flashlights!

edit (corrected my order #803 which was my 2nd request which I haven’t received yet)

What was your estimated arrival date? Mine showed Nov 7 earliest…I’m 106 on the list…

Arriving Nov 7 - Dec 2

sofirn BLF LT1 Lantern, LED Rechargeable Camping Lantern,Batteries Excluded
Sold by: Sofirn

Thanks! Now for the long wait, I guess.

I am hoping their qc is good. I usually don’t buy the first batch because I am afraid of glitches. Returning oversea for repair is a PITA.

I’m trying to order it…but waiting for a better price :disappointed:

:smiley:

Supposed to be $49… some paid tax and some don’t.

Dang….

I guess ordering for arrival the day before you’ve actually ordered has some really steep expediting fees!

I also did order one from Aliexpress even if listed in the late 2000 numbers, since I also will get code when the lights are produced if planed from Sofirn

Not only that we have likely with the very extended time frame from first interests numbers cases of:

- shifted interest to other hobby

- not enough money till Christmas

- left forum

- banned because of rude behavior

  • deceased people :frowning: RIP
    and so on

I ordered mine soon after Sofirn started sending out PMs. This is the info I have so far. FWIW, it was ordered through Amazon.

Supposedly it’ll arrive between Nov 7 and Dec 2. I paid tax too and not to CA but to Maine.

I hope you ordered yours, it’s currently unavailable on Amazon.

Enhance your Calm, Deal Grabber Two Thousand and Two.

Batch #2 - both production and notification/sales are being worked on. When the stars align and the cats are herded the LT1 will, like the spring, come back to grace us all.

Customs declaration completed for mine 1 day and 4 hours ago. Guessing 10 to 14 days from now it’ll show up.

OK - silly question of the day — how can you tell that customs has or has cleared your package? All I’ve ever seen is, well, nothing.

I used the tracking number from eBay.it has processed customs in China. Stateside takes awhile, USPS updates suck.
