Would be nice if the post office took mine for final delivery… My mother in law works there, and my mail lady who delivers to me is awesome

has anyone in Australia got their GT yet?

i still have no status whether mine has shipped

I live just a little north of Marshfield and work out near Wausau. It seems like a real warmup when it’s like -8 or -9 compared to where it has been. When it gets into the really low temps, it’s the dryness in the air that I notice so much.

Two things that I have come to appreciate when we get these REALLY COLD snaps; high powered lights don’t get hot and the throwers really reach out there in the dry air. I think I hear the DHL guy in the drive way.

Gt is in the house!!!

Why is this thread in BudgetLightForum Deal Alerts?

I got my blf gt on the Friday afternoon.

OK, this right here is definitely in the spirit of BLF.
Just contact adhesive some moleskin or felt on the inside, and good.

I discovered a budget-friendly GT cap in the pantry. Walmart’s ‘Great Value’ brand quick oats, 42 oz size.

It’s a perfect fit, and even creates an air bubble between the cap and lens if you don’t ‘burp’ it. Big Smile

I’ll adhere a circle of soft cloth inside it to further protect the lens from contact with the cap.

My shipment is on hold in Jacksonville, FL

Arrived yesterday afternoon in Chicago

got mine yesterday

My GT is on the way but I have one question that maybe you guys can answer. DHL doesn’t deliver in my city so they hand it off to another carrier. The tracking info doesn’t say what carrier though. Do you guys have any idea how to see who it was transferred to and if an alternate tracking number was supplied for that carrier?

Looks like several have had theirs handed off to USPS for final delivery.

I am just waiting patiently for the next batch of PM’s for my chance to order.

I called DHL yesterday, and they told me my GT was handed off to the USPS in Austin, and gave me the new tracking number. Tracking showed USPS receiving the package at 8:00 PM, and leaving the Austin USPS distribution center at 8:34 PM. My GT was available for pickup this morning at my local post office. The person I talked to at DHL told me they require the third party carrier to deliver the package within a day or two. Call DHL Express and they should be able to update you on your package.

Worked like a charm, thanks!

Just got “mine” in yesterday. Actually it’s a friend’s light. I measured 1032Kcd out of the box. Now time to see what this baby can really do.

I’m in the 555 with cells no email on shipping just curious if I’m missing something

Here You Go

Yesterday, Dec. 29, 4:30ish.

NICE! I really need to get a D1S next. I just showed my neighbors my GT and both of them started giggling. I turned it on and they both started to crackup Aarin said it was like holding a lighthouse in his hands

My GT's have not made it here yet.

I was wanting something to do, as we stayed away from the New Years festivities.

So, I had a little fun making a graphic. I didn't get real fussy with the timing.

Is it January 2 in China already???

I feel your anxiety, now. My anticipation of the arrival will grow exponentially.

And to think, all because I was being a cheap azz and bought the batteries along with it.

I know there has been a lot of discussion in here and the official thread regarding shipping recently, however has there been any mention on when Australian ones will ship? All I have seen so far is it appears the US customers will be getting them first and then EU is going to be next?

I may be wrong but I wouldn’t think there would be enough Australian orders to be able to fill a pallet with them, so where does that leave us with fitting into the schedule?

I am hoping to get an update today or tomorrow as people sober up from the New years celebration. I will report as soon as I know more.
