Group Buy for the GearBest Ultrafire F13 - Closed?

@Gj

I don’t recall seeing a ~35mm triple board or reflector or TIR.

Cutter sells triple and quad boards that fit 35mm TIR optics. The Ledil Cute-3 and Cute-4 as well as the low profile GT4-xp series. The only 2 boards I’ve ever seen anywhere else fit these fantastic optics where Pilotptk’s integrated board and one made in EU, also integrated.

Hi, I’m just curious: On my order, placed 5/9, it still says “Processing” and the progress bar is still stuck “Pending”. I’ve already received email from both Gearbest saying they received the order and PP that payment was made. Is this the same for everyone else’s order?

5/9 here plus they're 12 hours ahead, so they're probably closed for the weekend. At least the shipping dept.

[Old-Lumens]

Yes, all dealers close for the week-ends. Nothing will happen till sometime in their Monday afternoon. So, some time Sunday in the wee hours, or best look sometime Monday. Most likely with a bunch of orders, it will be Tuesday till they start to move out.

I was going to order two, plus a couple of other items. Total was just over $30, and was going to add tracking but decided I might as well use that $2 towards another light and get free tracking. Like getting the third one for $8.

Now, knock off this group buy madness for a few months. Please!

[Bucketthead]

Between you and ohaya. Fingers not in controll. Tried to stop but couldn't. Bought the GB and two AAA lights. What just happened?

Really OL, thanks for the GB

[Jerommel]

Maybe next month…
(with that C70 AAA)

[Old-Lumens]

I won't be doing another one for a month or three. There are too many out there and I will hold off for a while, till I see things calm down.

[Jerommel]

No, I meant, next paycheck… :bigsmile:
That C70 is already low priced at $7.75

[ohaya]

Hi,

Just wondering… Has anyone gotten an order that’s passed the “Processing”/”Pending” step from the GB yet?

[Pok]

Ordered 2 with tracking no.

Nothing Processing.

[Gj1 (Gj)]

Processing, but I just ordered yesterday.

[18sixfifty]

Thanks.

Got notification this morning.

Hi,

Ok, some progress.

I just got an email today with a (China Post, I think) tracking number (I paid the $1.99 for the number). The number is still not working, but will post back when it does. I’ll wait until the number starts working, then I need to “remind” them that they need to refund PP for a light (not an F13) that I had included in the same order, but which they said was out-of-stock).

For the record, it took about 6 days for the order to get to this point, but 2 of those days were weekend, so net, about 4 days for them to ship and/or get a tracking number to me.

hm, the page says:

“UltraFire Ceee XM-L U2 5-Mode 1000lm Waterproof 18650 / 26650 LED Flashlight”

Well, presumably that’s a typo, and anyhow modding will replace whatever LED it has.

Looking forward to good advice about what driver and LED to put in this shell once the guts come out

Mine shipped 2 days ago

[DanielM]

Bought one, let’s hope all is good. Anyone receive one yet?

The tracking # I got is now working and in “Acceptance” ==> Gearbest apparently actually got it to the shipper, I think!!

FYI, the free shipping said 7-25 days for me, and tracking was $1.99 additional (which I took since this was kind of a trial order). According to the website, if purchase were > $40, tracking would’ve been included.

P.S. If you have contact with them, can you check if that 2nd/AAA light can take 10440s?

EDIT:

P.P.S. I think I found the same light at FT, with reviews. Seems like it can take 10440s:

Looks similar the the Smiling Shark SS-5039 but without the texture or the bulged fluted head. Brighter in stock form?

Hi,

Unfortunately (or fortunately - though I’ll never know now), I got email from Gearbest saying that that light was out of stock so they could not fulfill it.
