Seems pretty straight forward. Go to the page that list your orders. Click on the track your package "button". A page opens up that has info including a field that says Tracking Number and shows what appears to be a tracking number.
You can also just click on your order and it will open up a page that shows the status of the order. If it has shipped, it will show you tracking number. On my previous orders from GB, the tracking number was an actual tracking number. It matched the number under the shipper's bar code label. Why should I now not assume it's a tracking number?
EDIT: I think I get what you all are saying. Are you saying that the number is a reference number for the shipper (Hong Kong Post in this case), but it is not a real tracking number in that we (John Q Public) can not use it to query the status of a package?
HK post has a 13-character alpha/numeric combination as a tracking number. The one that has HK then 14 numbers thereafter are reference numbers only. Tracking services cannot recognize that.
WE are NOT ass-U-ming anything. HKPost has ALWAYS had HK* format as tracking, we were TOLD it was shipped HKPost and then PROVIDED a HK* number WITHOUT any information saying this is a reference number and not a tracking number. Who are we to figure out it was reference ONLY and not a tracking number like we ARE ALL USED TO! I am not going to sit there and research the history of HKPost tracking, format, blah blah blah crap! Some of us have lives and dont care to get that detailed. GearBest NEVER mentioned this so how the heck should we know? Many people have said they had the same issue as me and GB has responded many times, still not saying reference only.
Makes sense but WITHOUT being told DIRECTLY from GB, how the F are we the buyers suppsed to know?
Ive received numerous HKPost tracking numbers rhat start with HK and also ones that end inHK. Id have to dig through last years emaisl for examples but they are there. 95% sure I got them with FT or BG orders, possibly AuraBuy orders but I did get them and they did work, even on USPS website.
EDit: they could ve “reference numbers” or whatever you guys are calling them b ut they DID work with locating tracking. Again id have yo check my emails and find one then see if its till active with traxking. Might link to the tracking number from the HK* but 75% of the numbers I entered id say, started with HK and all worked on v oth sites as stated
Maybe I’ve recognized many times but I will still tell you the number HK* is not the tracking number but the reference number, and only if the order over 40$ will have the tracking number, or you have tick to get the tracking number when you commanded the order, and this will cost you 1.99$. Hope this response can help you with the problem
Hi Livinloud. I'm with you on this. It's childish to make others look dumb and to also not help them by providing the information they need. If I treated someone like that, instead of making me feel superior, it would make me feel petty and bad about myself. Maybe it's a vicious cycle of self hate. Who knows.
All I know is that they don't deserve your or my attention.
I went to mail box today and guess what? To my great surprise, I found three white envelopes, containing..
..lights from this GB! :)
Quickly opened one and threw in an AAA cell.. Pretty NW light started to shine.
But that's not all, I faintly remember asking them to leave the SingFire logo away, thinking that there is no way they would do it. After all, they were agreeing to this GB to get SingFire name better known. But - woo-hoo!! - the SingFire logo was absent! (at least in this one sample).
I'll update more initial impressions to this thread soon, as soon as I have any spare time. :)
All in all, very happy now! Thank you GearBest! (and the manufacturer too!)
The first of two arrived today for me as well. No logo, NW.
Great quality, smooth threads, good seam, and a firm clicky(that thing definitely isn’t getting an accidental click!). Mine did come with the led slightly off center, should be fixable with a little tweaking.
Just finished inspecting my lights. No logo on any of them. I'm very happy! :)
Two out of eight of mine did have off-center leds. It's might be either a manufacturing flaw or caused by a bump during the journey from China, but anyways easily fixable: 1. Remove battery 2. Open the bezel 3. Remove O-ring and lens 4. Adjust reflector so that the emitter is centered (just take it away and put back, keeping the emitter centered) 5. Put the lens back 6. Put O-ring back 7. Screw in the bezel
=> Emitter perfectly centered (and user happy) :)
Here's a photo of the off-center emitter:

Edit: One more thing: The NW tint is quite warm, just like in the original CQG S1 v1.
I ordered 6 (2 x NW & 4 x CW) on July 8th and my online status is still showing pending. I have sent my order info to bestgear and the CSbestgear handles. Please update order status when you get a chance.
