It is not uncommon for brand new Astrolux model(1st generation) having longer lead time. Once group buy has started, the number of units placed with manufacturer is already confirmed. Having more people jumping in will not make a huge impact, unless we are talking about 500-1000/lot.
Ordered the 18th with ship date the 25th. Just logged in to check my order status and it has now been changed to the 30th. Just chatted with customer service and they got an attitude with me and blamed the supplier and not them, sometimes our digital count and warehouse count are off, and we can give you a 6% off coupon for your next order. Hopefully they actually ship these lights and don’t keep pushing the date back for months. Very disappointing.
Please be patient my friend As mentioned on https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/67094/133, delay for brand new models are not uncommon for Astrolux. Please give manufacturer sufficient time to conduct thorough functional tests and QC inspections before releasing them to Banggood.
Default status of WP3 is "Out of Stock" since the beginning of preorder, because the product has yet to reach Banggood warehouse.
According to one of BG-BLF representative, I was told that first batch will be shipped out within a week. Will let you guys know if there are any changes in the next few days.
