It looks like Shirley will start selling in March.I also sent an order, but without reply.We’ll finally find out he’s Neal’s wife. :smiley: :smiley:

16823

Let’s hope this is true.

Seery, I very much agree with you.
For now I will not cancel my order, but if Neal, LT will continue to delay delivery, I will have to reconsider.

16824

didn’t she already sell? If she really were Neal’s wife that would truly be f*ed up, because then it’s not a rogue Lumintop employee but rather connected directly to Neal.

Be it as it may, I’m still looking forward to receiving my BLF GT :slight_smile: Once it arrives I’m sure this whole ordeal will instantly be forgotten.

Please let TA first find out what's happened. I found this FB page with the same message from Shirley:https://www.facebook.com/groups/839856782848707/permalink/876804439153941/

This is a GT group buy page. We don't exactly know if the "buyers" in Shirley's post are all from "outside". So before jumping to conclusions, let's investigate. It's strange that Shirley, who is marketing and sales manager at Lumintop, places a post on a FB page that will be visited by BLF members. That's not smart if you try to sell the GT at the normal price. So let's wait and see what TA comes up with.

Shirley is not Neal's wife. She has kids. Come on guys.

I would like to know if LT is continuing to produce the v2 reflector or if it has returned to v1? thanks

I am still waiting for a reply about the early public sales, I will let you know as soon as I hear something. My guess is that like in December this is just the work of a single employee and not official policy. This would be the 3rd time this employee has pulled something like this since December, so it would not surprise me at all.

Lets go on that assumption until we hear differently ok?

Sometimes I can really understand why Wim disappeared, and he wanted to do this. I did this for my work, never something I wanted for my hobby.

16829

Last I heard they slowed the federate down to the V2 levels and planned to stay there as long as people didn’t start the massive complaining about shipping times again, which is what made them revert to V1 int he first place.

I assume they are still working with the V2 feedrate at this point and will keep that up as long as the light is made.

Not yet, got to prioritize the issues as if I include too many in a single email they are not all addressed usually.

Right now sorting out the public sales is top of the issue list.

After that back to the shipping issues.

16831

This is not only possible but likely given this employee’s track record.

16832

Did you mention to Neal/LT about the UK DHL with batteries packages being refused at Hong Kong Customs for presumably a problem with battery labelling on them ?
If so did you get any response as to what they intend to do ?

That is fair enough TA & makes perfect sense :+1:
Hopefully some of us European registered post buyers will get their lights sent out next week & miss the Chinese New Year shut down :slight_smile:

Texas_Ace please help to address that all 555 lights has to be sent out 2 weeks before Chinese NY. Due to China/HK Post Staffs are off at least 10 days+ and the shipping& sorting to China Central mails are super slow. at least 20-50 days expect to be arrival of register mails from the past of my 5 Yrs Chinese NY experience.

16836

Sadly there is nothing I, or anyone else can do about this.

The delays are due to the reflector shortage, they just can’t get them fast enough or they would have all shipped last year. Teh same applies now. They are shipping them as fast as they are getting the reflectors in.

At the current rate, looks like another 2-3 weeks for them to catch up depending on what the total number of orders is right now.

16837

Bozlight29…… :+1: . :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: . :beer:

16838

After all the effort and trouble all people involved have gone thru to make this happen I will remain patient.
Let’s not all start speculating on what is happening but wait for further news from the members in contact with Neal and/or Lumintop.
Nobody knows as yet exactly what’s going on so hold your horses.
.
Yes, I too would have loved to have received my light before Dec 31, but waiting another month is not going to kill me.

Hi TA,
do you know, if all DHL shippings from the first batch #555 are sent yet?

I was in the first batch and changed registered to DHL.
Neal answered me (PM) that he will change to DHL.
He answered me also, that he is waiting for the list, (lights shipped) as I asked him for a trackingnumber.

16840

They said “most” of the DHL orders have shipped, that is all I know about it right now.

As you saw, Neal has been having trouble getting the tracking numbers in a timely fashion.

16841

Thanks.
I hope to switch to DHL will not delay my shipping more than waiting with registered shipping. ;).
