There is definitely a mechanism. For example I subscribe to a database of wild-camping sites, with a private discussion forum, and app. My annual subscription is taken automatically every year, through Paypal, like a direct debit. If I don’t want to renew, I have to contact the owner and cancel that way.

Every time Ive payed for a subscription service like that Paypal has listed as such on the transaction though. I think its different when its a one time purchase of goods.

“I personally dont want my light handicapped.” It literally isn’t though, past a certain amperage with 219Bs you’re just damaging the emitters, and there can even be reduced output.

Normally I would not agree with lowering the max on the 219B version because there’s a chance we might swap emitters in the future.

Isn’t that sacrilege?

And once you’ve defiled your 219B shrine, is flashing an un-throttled firmware actually such a burden?

Aren’t we all holding out a slim hope another 3v emitter that crushes the 219B in efficiency/output with the same great tint and CRI comes along in the next few hours… months… decades… our lifetimes? :weary:

I’m hoping for a 3v XHP70/50

[Xoroxronis]

Nice.

I haven’t received any shipment notification yet.

Am I the last one?

nope…uk none same with colleagues…no comms at all.

[TheBigLEDowski]

I live in New England, ordered October 28 and got the CA tracking notification on November 22. Never got a notification from China though.

[Deputy_Dog]

I ordered on 10/29 and haven’t received a shipping notice yet, so… maybe Valentines day?

[lohtse]

I do understand that they are being put together as needed BUT this has become a bit of a joke now….May be he should have had a LIMIT too how many in group buy (lets not forget this is on two forums I believe) so now we are all waiting patiently(ISH) for these… What would make a difference for me is some COMMUNICATIONS for flirefly…Honestly thats all I need to be satisified….

[deus1ex]

I ordered two. On 18.11. I got the tracking numbers. Since then, nothing has happened in tracking, the number is not yet known.

[AlexGT]

Nothing here either…

C’mon FF give us an update…!!!

[noboneshotdog]

I live in the states and purchased a 219b in champagne soon after the group buy started and have yet to receive any shipping notification either.

Edit:

Mine was purchased on October 28th.

My tracking number is a stupidly long string of numbers and the USPS says-

2018-11-18 22:06
FREMONT, CA 94538, Picked Up by Shipping Partner, USPS Awaiting Item -> Your item was picked up by a shipping partner at 10:06 pm on November 18, 2018 in FREMONT, CA 94538. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.

Sounds like you should be getting yours VERY soon. I finally got some progress.

November 24, 2018, 7:52 pm

Acceptance
CHINA
Your item was accepted at 7:52 pm on November 24, 2018 in CHINA.

Based on other reports for the length of shipping from FF, it’ll arrive around the turn of the year.

His faq says he ships via china or hongkong post, this is the shipping partner. So when he gets around to it he drops at a hub. “Acceptance” means they have the item in the computer. At some point it gets put on a container ship and heads (if us) to a CA port, most probably. All those giant containers have to be unloaded/ sorted then it gets transferred to usps, “usps awaiting item” i dont know if these boxes are gonna be epackets or not. Epackets come quick, but in my experience are very small packages. I would think pl47 will be in a ~4”×3”×1.3” box. Probably too big for epacket especially if you bought more than 1. I have gotten epackets in just days before. Boxed orders from china in as little as 10 days as much as 2 months, though. I should hope we should have item in hand 2 weeks after shipment notice.
Edit: i am in US, east coast. This is regarding my experience, with purchases from china.

Another message from bank, it’s about paypal trying to withdraw money to pay for fireflies, 3rd time

[TexasToasted]

You’re making me nervous so I logged into Paypal just to be sure. Only one charge to FF-Lights
But holy cow, I have spent way too much at Banggood, Gearbest, Mountain Electronics, Illumination supply, HKEquipment, Texas Ace, International Outdoor, Amazon (Miboxer, Sofirm, Lumintop, Rofis, & Wuben) and Aliexpress.

[The_Uncle]

Interessted, hope to get a code

[Mildlyangryjohnny]

@leaftye

Having shipped after 11.11, after Black Friday, and still there after Cyber Monday, it may be closer to 2 months than 10 days.

Nah. Hard part is over. I dont know about you, but my package will arrive on dec 6 right around 4pm. At which point i will probably have to take the mutts out for a stroll. Then i will have to take stock and decide which of the three lites will get primary duty. Or if i gotta stick with a zebra, and gift’em.

Stop posting your non-payment issues here and making it sound like the seller’s fault, contact your PayPal. Paypal takes from your secondary source when your primary source fails. You probably didn’t have enough to cover the initial payment. This is your fault. Prove me wrong! Let us know when you actually contacted Paypal and did something more than read a message.
