it appears I may not have received an email with DHL tracking info. A check of my spam folder only revealed that hot Russian single women are interested in me…

suggestions?

Thanks

Suggestion is to see if the Russian women have any 18650s for sale

Hello. Some days ago I wrote Email to Neal that I would like to change to DHL. But no answer yet. Are all DHL shippings are sent yet? Is it still possible to change shipping?
Thanks.

Neal’s Paid/Shipping List for first 555 - Updated Dec 15

.

There is something wrong with this list!
In my email to Neal I requested DHL shipping, that was mistakenly noted in this table as Registered,
I contacted Neal so he would correct that to DHL and he did that, there was one version of this table
with DHL shipping behind my name and now its again Registered.

So far only usa orders up to the 550th paid order without batteries got shipping notifications. So your light will ship a bit later.

It’s unknown if Neal got to your email and made the change yet.

Yes, he is very busy right now. There was never a guarantee he would be able to change the shipping on an existing order. It all depended on if he was able to see your email before the light got shipped off. Maybe it will be changed, maybe not.

OK. You are right. I’ll wait and will see what happen.

Hey sorry to bother anyone but not hearing back from Neal. I paid quite some time ago but I’m not on the paid/shipping list. I’m #103 on the first list. Can anyone help?

Did you get email confirmation from paypal and Neal after making purchase?
Edit: I see that you did get confirmation emails. I would wait till the end of today to see if you get a tracking email from Neal or DHL.

same here… no msgs of any kind….

I need to blind my neighbors a half mile across the lake. I’m in

Yep, I have neighbors across the cove that may need to have their yard lit up. My $0.02 is as many batteries as will fit. but then again I spent a lot of time lugging around a big old lightbox with a Pb battery in it. There are lots of handheld flashlights, but not things
that makes people say “what the hell do you need THAT for?” is something different. Especially when the answer is “Because it’s badass”

Now THIS is a BadddAsss Blinder…

[Sirius9]

BTW, JasonWW, I also payd for 8 x samsung cells
It seems that if you want to do the job properly, you have to do it by yourself
and …. another email and PM to Neal :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:

Well, sort of….The 60” mirror is plated in Rhodium……the “ium’s are the same.

[xCentrino]

I don’t see any tritium inserts, pshhhh. amateurs

[MAD777]

Well, I have solder boobed 8 Sony VTC6 batteries that I’ve had waiting for this monster. Got them all charged up today. Numbered them all with a Sharp, 1/8….8/8. My email & text did not state a delivery date, but I didn’t want to get caught with my batteries down!

That Google doc from Dec 8th has this weird note next to your name
“first invoice: 1 x GT flashlight $33.99 - 8 x Samsung button top cells that you supply for GT $10”

I have no idea what that means other than you bought 1 light and 1 set of batteries. Yours seems like a pretty unusual situation for some reason.

Hopefully it will get sorted before you light ships.

Now that one made me laugh!!

I’m just glad that BLF has these projects that take alot of coordination by folks and they end up making a low cost nice light that has limited appeal outside of people who have a flashlight problem…
