So if I read your timeline correctly, you ordered on 3/14, and received your package on 4/25?
I put in an order on 3/17 when the Panda 2M CRI showed in stock. Then it showed out of stock, and then they went through the shutdown described above. I guess I should be more patient, especially given the times, but I haven’t received a response to several emails I’ve sent, and there’s been no confirmation or shipping notice (apart from the original PayPal receipt).
Maybe it will just show up in the next couple of days, but was this the communication pattern for you too?
First one was order confirmation, second one was a day or two later with tracking#.
Note that the YLP emails went to a junk folder instead of my inbox. Hotmail has gone completely whacked-out for months now, misdirecting desired & legit email into junk, spam or deleted folders, no matter how many rules I make. Check your spam/junk etc. folders.
Monitoring 17track showed the package in Russia for some days, then it disappeared entirely for a couple of weeks before reappearing in NY under the care of USPS. That was pretty much the same as I saw on my first order in late 2019.
Perhaps also contact member fnksb. He seems to have an inside track to YLP.
Ah! I’m disappointed in myself; I should have known to check spam. You’re absolutely right, there was a Russian language confirmation and then a shipping notice. My package was shipped on 3/18 and ‘Released from Russia’ on 3/24. So YLP did everything right, and I need to return to my remedial international purchasing 101 studies.
Thanks for helping me out with my blind spot. Hopefully it will turn up in the USPS tracking system soon.
I was watching the Panda 2M CRI all through the Black Friday and Christmas seasons but since it was out of stock I couldn’t use the coupons. Now that it’s back in stock, those coupons are expired.
YLP is sub brand of “Яркий луч”with best light of this company. Most lights of Я.Л. that not in YLP series is cheap lights not flashholics people) And often it is prodused via ODM contract.
What happened to the dual triple, side by side 21700 light that was being developed? It is the most interesting flashlight I’ve seen since the noctigon M43.
Hey fnksb, any way to check into my order? I never received the Unicorn it’s been 3 months, I also didn’t get an email with a track code.
It does show “shipped” on ylplight.com, I sent an inquiry directly through the website too.
Thanks fnksb great price.
Ordered the Gryphon G180 (I think ) invoice email from ylp arrived in rubles with no payment method- perhaps a further invoice will arrive later? I have queried it with them.
