✌ FREEME - MEOTE FM1 LH351D (CRI90+) / XP-L HI (4980lm) / SST20 Anduril 18650 EDC Flashlight - ALIVE!

BG is preparing for to stock up at US/ EU/ RU warehouses houses soon. Do let me know what kind of products are you guys interested in.

Hum, I guess this not only about what we want for the future but also about what people have been paying and, sometimes, not getting.

Do you have any information about why many BG orders may be refused on the customs security control?

It will be a pitty if you and/or other affiliate members arrange good deals (like the FM1 Meote) but due to the shipping issues they are returned all over again and there is no structural change on BGs shipping methods (either it is the pack or the labels on the packages, or other issues).

The regional wharehouses may solve part of the problem, but eventually not all of them.
:+1:

I’ve just received this flashlight, i like it very much

i feel like this is “improved” version of FW3A, it fix some small problems of FW3A( the switch is too soft, the light is easily overheated, etc)

this is one of the perfect flashlights for EDC, welldone Freeme

hm anyone getting any hits on their tracking nr after order is sent? i placed and paid order on april 27th… still nothing when i try search my track nr… anyone else has same ?

Not working here either.

Today I got the notice that the flashlight I ordered was reshiped.
I have now a tracking number, but only within some days we’ll be able to see if it moves.
Estimated time of arrival to the destiny (USA) is 8th June.

Considering the current “planes on the ground” situation, I believe it may take a while to see it moving, in some cases (as reported on other threads here).

Mine allegedly shipped on the 4th of May but like two other BG orders the tracking data has not updated. Hermes recognises the tracking number but has no more information. BG online help vanishes when I query it.

My spider sense is tingling :slight_smile:

I won’t be ordering anything else from BG until the situation becomes clearer.

My Apr 28 LH35 order still pending for pickup.

Staying tuned.

Is the green version shown on the YouTube video the same as the sand or a special edition?

Sand with bad lighting/camera settings.

:weary: my order was placed 19 april. purchase info shows a tracking number but the shipping info page says tracking number not found.

BG came back to me. Delivery estimated to be 17th June.

Yeah id guessed it will take a while probably before things starts to move out there, i guess we all will get similar shipping arrivals or so… They probably sit in some terminal our packets waiting for further delivery destination outside china.

LH351D retail version mysteriously appeared on my doorstep without any tracking updates.

My black copper LH351D has hit Australian customs. Should be here in a few days.
Woot!

Ordered mine April 14th. Says it shipped on May 6th Air Parcel Register. Said no tracking with that shipping method. Fine by me. It gave me what looks like a USPS tracking number but it’s not. My zip code is the last 5 digits of the tracking number so I am sure it’s some kind of order tracking for them. Expected delivery date of May12th. Of course that didn’t happen but, I’m sure it will be here eventually. Never had any major problems with BG. 4 to 8 weeks is about normal for anything I order from there.

I think a lot of us in the US get spoiled to fast delivery times and within the hour customer service. I never expect too much from overseas orders so, I am never really let down. Before I ever made my first order with a Chinese seller I read up a little on what to expect. I normally get exactly what I expect. 4 to 8 weeks unless otherwise stated and 3 or 4 days waiting on a response if there is a problem. If I stick to making my messages to them as simple and to the point as possible, I seem to get better results. When I try to over explain or otherwise tell them information that they don’t care about, it tends to not go as smooth.

I set reminders on my calendar for all my orders, 30, 60 and 90 days. When the 90 days alert goes off, I just contact PayPal. Only had to do that twice.

They gave me some tracking # but it doesn’t sound right since it’s a fed-ex # and it’s coming from California. If it is right it hasn’t shown anything other than information sent to fed-ex for a week now anyways.

I have no doubt that any delays after shipping or issues are due to the interruptions to global logistics and travel.

In Australia (where China “express” packages are usually fast enough) we went into full lock down before much of the USA and during that time I had many packages go missing for 2+ months only to turn up now (after getting refunds). Others delayed 2-3 fold.
Banggood was the only supplier in Asia I was getting goods from (still 1-2 weeks later then normal). I also noticed they changed their non free shipping from e-packet to something else almost right away.
Things are still slow, but better than before and banggood seem to be doing much better and taking active steps to keep things as optimal as possible.

Still waiting on things from March 1st from China, things from April have arrived though.

Global logistics are screwed, everyone is the world is shopping online almost exclusively and closed borders are causing huge backlogs of the things arriving to sit there and not be processed into the country.
Also, don’t underestimate how much domestic logistics normally goes on consumer flights as well…

No update in tracking does not mean that your parcel is not moving. This could be the new normal until shipping industry is stable again.
