What were the extra customs fees, $50?
To me and at least one other person, Neal gave the dhl track numbers already used a month ago in a very different direction, what can you say to this? Are these Chinese jokes?
It’s not unusual for couriers to re-use tracking numbers so don’t panic!
but not in such a short time frame for DHL
but not in such a short time frame for DHL
Also, the list of tracking numbers we were given is one he has been working with for awhile, so it has some old information on it as well.
Did you get the lights that those tracking numbers were for?
i just can copy/paste you the numbers on the list (i did not write them into the list!)
and - of course - i can make mistakes...
I also have a wrong DHL AWB
On January 16 Neal asked me for an extra payment for shipping fees, I did it the same day
I have not received my flashlight
I live in Uruguay and the number that Martin gave me is from a package that was delivered on January 11 in the USA
I let Martin know and told me that Neal will check after CNY
I doubt that my flashlight was sent
Yes, issues like this will need to be dealt with but nothing we can do until the end of the month when china comes back on line.
Be sure to remind us at that point.
Just Received confirmation that i’m screwed. I’ve been paid since the 2nd batch was “ok’d”(Dec 10th) , no confirmation, even tho i requested one. nothing. Later when i did query about my order i was told to ” just be patent and wait” now to find out i’m lost in limbo short $198.
Needless to say… I’m a little pissed now. my light should have been shipped LONG ago and now @ the very least i’m stuck waiting till China resumes functioning.
“My” track number And I certainly did not get a flashlight
I am completely lost, how are you screwed?
You will get your light, or worst case a refund, you are NOT out $198. Why would you think otherwise?
That’s a HUGE mistake! To mix up Kazakhstan with USA?! And it was delivered and signed for? Outrageous!
Like I said above, remind us of these issues at the end of the month when China is back online.
Till then there is nothing we can do.
We are well aware there are outstanding issues, They will be taken care of. To be honest I am surprised there are not more with a project this large.
More then likely this was simply a case of a wrong copy / paste of the tracking number and that is a tracking number for someone else on here.
The addresses were pulled directly from the paypal payment, so it is highly unlikely that it would be sent to some random person.
The Hermetically Sealed message inside this envelope states thread-locking compound is likely to be applied…
I didn’t pay anything,but I had to write a statement that flashlight isn’t for further sale,and just for personal use and testing of performance… 
So when are you posting beamshots?
I sincerely hope this is not the case.
IF…. people will just think (and care) before they post it won’t be necessary to lock this thread.
THINK about how much hard work has gone into this & how much HAS BEEN accomplished.
THINK about how hard TA has worked on this shipping phase of the GT especially & how much time has gone into that hard work.
THINK about how smooth, IN THE BIG SCHEME OF THINGS; this massive undertaking has reall gone.
THINK before posting if yours has not been sent yet.
WILL posting, “oh whoa is me” ; help you get it any faster??
EVERYONE WILL GET THEIR GT… THAT, IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
HOPEFULLY………. people will allow this thread to remain open by going by the simple guidelines that will allow it to remain open.
580 here - Light with Batteries and donation. Chose registered shipping. Light hasn’t shipped yet (thanks for info Martin). Unlike others I’m not freaking out. With everything Lumintop’s doing I’m not concerned about getting screwed. Not super cool to be the last to get it but in the end it’s still an awesome opportunity. We should be thankful that so many people volunteered their time to run this beast of a group buy.
