YEZL Y3 CNQUALITYGOODS Group buy. 3 Versions. See post 274 for delivery details.

If you read the above link dangerous has made an assumption here and I'm not sure that he has read the linked thread properly. What he says may be well be true but again I'd suggest not. This poster has gone out of his way to stir the pot in several threads. I will not be commenting further on this as I preempted this happening hence the note in the OP. It is quite common for tracking to never work until after the item arrives at the destination.

I think Indiana is on the slow list, seems like I saw somewhere Indiana will be at least 3 days behind other USPS services due to all the shooting going on at some of the delivery addresses…

…ice chest is low on ice, could you pick up another bag please?
German chocolate cake standing by…

You stop that right now.

Thanks guys. I'm chilled. Dale scares me. Wheres RBD when I need protection.

Was hoping you wouldn’t see the :stuck_out_tongue: until you’d been drawn in a little. hahahahahahahahaha

Haven’t you noticed our beer gets colder once he’s passed out? :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought the slush looked a little of color. Maybe he should be drinking more water.

My Y3 is in New York. So right now the "Y" stands for Yankee, but when it gets down here to a proper home in the South, it will stand for Yipee!

When mine gets down here to the “deeper South” the Y will stand for “Yaaahoooooo!”

Mine arrived today, A-OK. Just bubble bags and a lot of foam wrap. No signature required. Thanks Ric and MRsDNF.

Damn Yankees, they always get their lights first.

I should hope so, as they probably all arrived in the same container to JFK, only 28km from me.

Thats not the only thing they get first.

Got mine today. Overall impressions after a few minutes are good.

Pros:

The light feels solid, but not too heavy.

Knurling feels pretty good. I like aggressive knurling, but this feels like "medium".

All parts fit together well, without any looseness or rattling.

The hotspot seems pretty bright for stock. Subjectively not as small or as bright as a Convoy L4 with a XP-G2 swap, but the sun is out and I have no instruments to measure lux anyway.

17mm forward clicky switch fits without any issues and works well. Simply add a metal washer toward the rear and discard the rubber o-ring toward the front.

The AR lens is flawless to my eyes.

Cons:

There are some chips in the anodizing throughout the body, presumably from being manhandled in transit. Perhaps placing it in a crappy cardboard box (like most Chinese lights ship in) would have greatly reduced these chips.

Stock lens was dirty and had lots of smudges.

All threads were bone dry, so I spent a few minutes lubing everything up. I would've done so anyway, so not really a major issue.

There are some imperfections in my reflector. Looks like some dirt/sand was trapped underneath the layer of chrome(?).

The beam is slightly ringy in the spill zone, but it's pretty mild and tolerable.

Edit: The unit I received has a green o-ring in front of the lens, as well as a green rear switch boot. This was unexpected; I would have preferred plain black, but it's a minor detail.

Mine is Illinois, hopefully it will be here next week

They’re playing with mine in Jamaica, it’s been sitting outside Queens for 3 days according to tracking.

Just emailed RIC - mine was supposedly shipped 7/25 with this tracking #: RF252140216SG, and USPS and 17track.net has no info on it, but looks like 17track.net is broken right now.

Hey that’s singapore… Mine didn’t come out of singapore like Tom’s. I have a feeling I’m going to end up with a locusto

My tracking number also returns no results on USPS.com or the USPS app.
