I’m confused on the ordering procedure. Do I wait for a priate message from the seller, with instructions?
BTW, I can’t find my name on TK’s list, linked above. But there aren’t any date reference points on that list, so no way to search other than line-by-line. I joined the “waiting list” on February 18.
You’ll get a PM from “FW3A Team” when it’s your “turn” as it were – TK posted a list of all the accounts it’ll be sent to and in what order, so you just need to follow teacher’s post about working it out. 14:00 CST (I think it was) is when PMs started, and 90 seconds between posts – so 40 per hour.
I’ll update the interest list again tomorrow when the privmsg script finishes, then run the script again with the new data.
It looks like there may be quite a few people added.
Sorry for the slow speed in sending messages… the purchase page opened up by surprise, and I want people early on the list to have a chance to order first. So it’s intentionally slow.
Also, it seems things won’t ship until at least May 8, so this doesn’t actually cause any delay in how long it’ll take to receive the lights. But I definitely understand how excruciating it can be to “hurry up and wait”.
It’s currently on message 191 of 1544.

Edit:: beaten by seconds by teacher ;p
OK, thanks. Sorry about the duplicate inquiry. I thought this first one didn’t take, and then I found TKs original post so I quoted it.
And I still haven’t managed to find my name on the list. Do you have any idea where February 18 of this year would fall, number-wise?

Not sure what it’s up to now; I’m a few after you and I worked it out to be roughly 25 hours from now. I think.

You should get an email around 3:30 AM Eastern standard time on Sunday.
I’m 674 on the original list, 541 on the email list. I should receive my email around 5:16 AM EST in the morning.
Now there was only 3 options
-shipping difference
-standard shipping
-Expedited shipping
Shipping difference(Whatever that means?) and standard shipping were the same amount. But no free shipping option offered.
What country is it being shipped to??
Finland.
Got free shipping with BLF GT and usually AliExpress, eBay and Banggood offer mostly free shipping to Finland. Gearbest has been getting more greedy lately so many purchases had to been skipped when their cheapest shipping option is sometimes bigger than the actual item.
Is that a script to tell how far along the messages are?
I don’t have anything that fancy. It just prints status to the console while it works.
Now it’s on #373.
failed because of a non-ascii character in the username, so I sent that one manually. There’s at least one more like that later in the list too, but it shouldn’t come up for a while.
Will the list be updated tomorrow to reflect the new orders put in today?
Yes. When the first batch of messages finishes, I plan to update the list and send a second batch of messages. But the list closes when that second batch starts. So there’s only about 24 hours left to get on the list.

I guess my biggest concern at this point is that I can’t seem to find my name.

Looks like the XP-L is all that’s available. If we want the SST, should be wait to purchase? Or is this planned for much later on.
I saw somewhere it said most countries got free shipping. I got free. I am in US.

@ funkychateau….
Yep, as they said; 1383 on TK’s PM sending list. Do the math as described earlier & you will get a pretty exact time you will/should receive your PM.

I like this new list. It bumped me up about 400 spots in the line.

I’m 1299 on the PM list and it worked out to 34 hours, yes 34 hours, from start time this afternoon … or 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night.
Add me to the list. Even though I just built a triple….

I’m glad I came to BLF this evening. I was happily surprised to find this had began.
Thanks to all who made it possible.
Now to do some catch up reading to find some process information.

Backhand you?
Pffft. Don’t be ridiculous.

For reference, the script says it just sent out message 366.
Sorry about the timing math stuff. Things happened kinda last-minute.
Is that a script to tell how far along the messages are?

Yes. When the first batch of messages finishes, I plan to update the list and send a second batch of messages. But the list closes when that second batch starts. So there’s only about 24 hours left to get on the list.
please add me to the new list for a 2nd light, thanks.
