DQG 18650 EDC--World's Smallest 18650 Flashlight

still no confirmation email with tracking number… :frowning:

i sent Ric an email a few days ago for confirmation, but no reply…

hope everything is ok… sorry… just anxious!! :wink:

Hi,

Do you know approx. when you bought it? If so, they include the dates on that list on the page where they show the people who bought, so maybe check there to confirm that you’re on there. I was on there twice, because I bought twice, at two different times. Earlier, RIC said they shipped the 1st 100, and one of mine was in the 1st 100, but then I also got the 2nd email, so they must be almost done shipping (or at least shipped more than the 1st 100).

ah… ok thanks… i’ll check!.. i think i’m in around #150ish

Im in the first 100 on the list, but still no notice on shipping yet :(. hope they didn’t forget about me!

You might want to email RIC to check?

At this point, I’m not 100% sure if even getting the shipping notice is accurate. I got my two tracking #s via email, but neither is working on USPS.com, and it’s been several days already, so I’m wondering if they just sent the notices out as “pacifiers”.

Has anyone gotten a tracking # in the U.S. that works yet?

In my shipping confirmation email it says that you should be able to track the order after about a week so not worried yet. It has only been 3 days.

What site are our state side members tracking on, USPS or what?

I’m using USPS.com, but, FYI, I’ve noticed in the past that it might take awhile before the non-USPS tracking #s start working on usps.com. Someone mentioned “about a week”, but my experience is less than that. The 2 tracking #s I have for this are still not working on usps.com.

The reason that I use usps.com is that in the past, I’ve tried sites like HK Post, but they never worked for me, even when usps.com would work. I guess YMMV.

Just got my tracking #…. available online after a week or so….

Thanks Ric!!

:slight_smile:

Has anyone actually physically RECEIVED one of these lights yet?

I’m sure if so, they would have posted. But we are still just about a week if that from when the first ones began shipping from China.

The tracking numbers I got were formatted “RF………SG”.

Shouldn’t the tracking number(s) received from them be working by now?

I got my first tracking number this past Monday (April 15), but it’s still not working at USPS.com. I also tried it at singpost.com, but it doesn’t work there either.

Edit: Anyone?

I believe they use SING post but not the “usual” way - they (might) get Singapore vouchers, send the parcels “someway” to a Logistics center and afterwards through the usual system…
That’s the reason I believe they say “You can track it on your local post system after 1 week”…!

Try also
http://www.17track.net/index_en.shtml
or
http://en.4px.cc/ (not working at the moment)

Ahh. So it sounds like they bundle up all of the lights (probably for one country), and ship them all to someone (some company) in Singapore and then the latter breaks open the bundle and ships the individual lights out to the end customer via SingPost?

Is SingPost shipping that much cheaper than HKPost that it’d be worth doing that?

FYI, I tried the 17track.net, and that said “not found” for the tracking #s I have, so I guess that the lights haven’t gotten to Singapore yet, or whoever handles the lights in Singapore hasn’t sent them out to us yet?

Edit: Given the choice, I would have been willing to pay a nominal add’l amount to avoid all of that, if I had known :(…

I got my shippingnotice 16/4 and it says in the e-mail “You can track it on your local post system after 1 week.”

So maybe soon the trackingno. will start to work…

I´m looking forward to testing my DQG18650, so it better show up soon… :slight_smile:

It´s like the old swedish saying; “he who waits for something good, never waits too long…”

I’ve had two tracking numbers from them for about 1.5 weeks now, and neither of them is working yet :(…

Ok, we´ll just have to wait then…

It will be a nice surprise when it shows up though… :slight_smile:

I guess…

But my 1st purchase was on 3/27, and it’s now 4/23, so I have about 15 days to pull the trigger on a Paypal protest, and I know that there were about 80 people in front of me on the purchases.

I don’t really want to sound like a sceptic, but seems like all of us have only the shipping emails, and as far as I’ve seen, none of the tracking numbers work, so I’m wondering if they just used a random number generator to spew off a bunch of tracking #s and sent them out to us. I know that RIC has been on BLF for quite a while longer than I have, but as far as I can tell, I’ve seen no real evidence that these lights actually exist :(…

I bought mine on 3-20 and even though the tracking # still doesn’t work I am not worried in the least. Ric always delivers and I am sure that he will again this time.

I really hope that you’re right. I guess I haven’t been here, so don’t have the history, so I tend to get worried when things don’t work “as they should”. Things like slipping the initial delivery date and such.

Patience, patience :)…

Edit: Plus, I think that some people got their shipping email at least a week before I got my 1st one, and yet, I don’t think that anyone has reported that the tracking # that they got was working. Does it normally take ~3 weeks for an issued tracking # to start working? I would guess that if that was the case, that the lights would have arrived before the tracking #s started working, and I don’t think that anyone has reported receiving a light either?
