I have until February 22 at 12:18 PST, 32 days
The shipment of DHL will take from China to my country from 6 to 10 days
Reading carefully the email received from Neal at no time does he say that he will send me the DHL tracking code as soon as it is sent so that I can make the customs declaration in good time before it arrives in my country
I hope he sends me DHL tracking in time to make the correct customs declaration as I asked
That mcpcb was simply a design I sent lumintop on how to make the xhp70 mcpcb. DO NOT ORDER IT. It will be useless as it will not be a DTP mcpcb but just a normal fiberglass mcpcb. I forgot to unshare it after they looked at it.
Well,i apreciate the work the team has put in this light and everything was smooth till shipping; i understand the team didnt take decisions about shipping,but never before there was any explanation that shipping would go to DHL first and preferentially 3lots to USA ; i suppose the lack of explaining things this way,have let other members upset; before,there was mentioned that for shipping costs the dhl full palet,but now,lets face it: does it make less expensive to send all the rest of the units registered? Knowing that registered units would take 2-3 weeks to arrive to its members,couldnt be choosen at least second or third lot to go to registered units , so at least these members would have their lights by the end of january,while almost all DHL would have em allready by that date? I am about 200th on the list and kept waiting,separately i ordered 8cells through neal,to have em shipped separately GT for weight/custom issue,payed in 15th of december,but never received an answer from him since then,even though i sent him emails - Now,if any of you would put yourself in my shoes,what would you do
I am not stressed about when it will ship, when ever I get it it will be OK.
But no communication from manufacturer is really making me angry and disappointed.
Can’t they just give some general info how and when will they ship instead of us making wild guesses?
If I have to wait 2 more months for it to arrive I have no problem, but I would like to know that’s how it’s going to be.
I don’t know if the manufacturer is to blame, it seems Neal is acting as middle man between team and manufacturer, and by the looks of it is shipping if i understand correctly between 100 and 200 lights a week due to reflector availability constraints witch is not (shipping so much or should we say little lights in a week) by any mean a full time job.
Still Neal who apparently speaks very decent english and has a BLF account is still hiding behind TA and team, creates a communication mess and doesn’t make the effort to adress the situation clearly and directly, a past message also insinuated that he took a cut of the sells (don’t know if it’s true) wich would give him even more accountability, my only disappointment in this is Neal not owning to his responsibilities and acting a bit shady.
I am afraid that things are going to boil over here…
Let’s all calm down a bit and see if Neal will eventually find some time to visit BLF and give us some explanation
We were not told that DHL would be first or that the USA would be first until after it happened either.
I honestly don’t think they really thought about it themselves since they assumed the complete order of reflectors would be on site and all the lights would be shipped within a few weeks.
I at least am not worried and in no hurry receiving the light.
I felt that I needed to responded on a post that stated that people upset about the shipping order were just being negative. I did not agree and was trying to explain why, while at the same time still being enthousiastic about the GT-project, some disappointment in how shipping goes is understandable.
