Thanks Skylined,
Hope we receive good news from GearBest in the next hours.
I let Dora know before making my order as probably most of “group buy” members here. In my opinion Gearbest was aware of higher demand for EU versions. Any other EU orders form 28th here, marked as “been shipped status” ?
I am on EU plug and got the email message as follow:-

I ordered the charger with EU plug and received the 3 support tickets mentioned above. I guess I'll wait. Waiting for few extra days will not hurt.
Thanks again for your efforts tatasal.
I think what is happening is not a big deal, and as qandeel said, waiting for few extra days will not hurt. But just in case, I consider it would be good keeping an eye on these cases the following hours/days.
Ok, so at this moment, we have:
***Users who reported having ordered EU Plug version and received stock problem messages from GearBest:
-SmilingCat (order shipped)
-Skylined (order shipped)
-banker (order shipped)
-qandeel (order shipped)
***Users who reported having ordered US Plug version and still not received their shipping confirmation mail:
-danjayh (Express Shipping order - 'Processing' Status)
If you are in the same case, please add your nickname in the list you belong to. Thanks.
By the way, I decided closing 2 of the 3 Support Tickets I received from GearBest asking me to change my order to the US Plug version. It seems they have some kind of problem with its Support Ticket system, so I thought it was a good idea helping them a bit by closing 2 of these 3 repeated tickets.
If anybody has a better idea or something to add, I'm all ears.
Thank you all and let's wait for GearBest staff response and solution to our cases.
It was shipped a few days ago and I got a tracking number ending with SE, i.e. probably with Swedish post (Same company as the Danish post). But I do not get any result when searching for the tracking number.
If your SE tracking is "RE123456789SE", then enter the following URL in your browser:
That does not help. That search probably goes to exactly the same database as my local post.dk search (It is the same company).
i'll bet with you that
http://directlinktrackedplus.com
will be the very first webpage to show you some tracking info with respect to your RE...SE tracking number. 4 days later than that the number will register on Sweden Post or post.dk tracking pages. Even when all those websites are owned by the same company, the DIRECTLINK website will return some info ~4 days earlier than the normal Sweden/Danish post websites ;)
Same result, i.e. no result 
Generally I do not bother with tracking, the stuff nearly always arrives after some time.
Ordered! Now let’s see how expedited the expedited shipping really is 8)
When the group buy ends ?
Hi Henrik,
In my long experience with Asian tracking numbers provided by Chinese online vendors using regular air mail, for the first 5 to 7 days I usually see a “no result found” or something similar. I only get much faster upload of tracking numbers from big, private but expensive carriers like Fedex, UPS,DHL and the like.
However, they just pop up like mushrooms unexpectedly.
Tentatively scheduled to last for a week, but may be extended by a few days if demand remains strong.
I’m holding off on one if these until HKJ is satisfied that Firmware 2.0 fixes the problems. If I have to I’ll pay a bit more (non GB price) for piece of mind that it is in fact a better charger than the i4 I currently use, then so be it.
Lionheart, I think you're right.
People can't wait for HKJ to test it.
I'm sure other vendors will get the charger soon as well, and can offer it maybe even for a better price.. I'm also sure more players will enter the market with this kind of charger soon. Especially when everyone seems to be interested in this kind of charger.
Waiting is definitely not a bad idea imho.
If you are purist, you should have the patience to wait! In life, there is a always a gamble, only a matter of which route to choose. Hahaha
I just talked with Dora. As of this moment, 28 paid orders are the EU type. On stock right now is only 20 units EU. What happened last night was that in an effort by Gearbest not to delay the shipping of ALL 28 EU type buyers, they sent notices asking if the buyer will accept a US plug (of course, this will require an adaptor) No problem with the US stock.
She is now coordinating with the supplier about the situation. Stay tuned. Thanks
A bit of good news for EU plug type buyers:
*
The supplier has notified they can supply the shortage earlier reported and shipping to commence this afternoon or tomorrow*.
