G sintornillos I think you need to leave Neal’s original message to you in your last post. It’s funny and deserves to be laughed. The situation isn’t funny, but his explanation to you sure as heck was.
Probably not a good idea to post people’s email addresses in a public forum. But I agree, it would be worth archiving the reply for posterity, just with personal information blurred out.
I received the head of GT about 3 weeks ago. Packaging was wet and almost completely destroyed. They had to repack it in my countries post office. Still waiting for the tube and batteries. I never reviewed any tracking number, but my order was still on its way. I don’t mind the waiting, but I don’t like the fact that the most expensive light I have ordered is in package without any protection (just a thin paper in front of the glass). Luckily the head looks like it’s fine. I have made at least hundred of orders from China and this had to be the first one with wet package and poor packaging.
I just think that it’s sad for the hole team (those who have but so much effort to hole project), that shipping for this great light cannot be handled properly.
If you ask me imho, I smell some BS in the mix! I’ve been contacted by Lumintop on FB, and this guy Leo said to give my email address and Shirley would contact me about purchasing the GT’s! I’ll report back when I get the email message!
Another thing, that to me, is more BS about this supposedly lawsuit with Neil and Levi was why the transactions from PayPal had been frozen? I mean come on, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with a PayPal account! Such garbage! :confounded:
afaik that Wholesale price ($165) is meant for shops and resellers usually...
i know Lumintop delivered to Sky Lumen (bussines client) and asked him to sell for 265...
this groubuy is way behind timeplan (for a lot reasons) and Luminto has to pay bills....
they agreed to wait with public sales until the GB has ended
now one could ask:
ended, as in closing the subscription list to get the nice price?
ended, as sent the original 555 (or the extended 1000? 1500?)
I can understand they need to sell whats on stock.
But i also see its frustrating to see other people get theirs first (at least you can smile knowing you paid much less)
All people who have paid should have their light on the way now.
the remaining people get the good price and it looks like the witing time between payment and shipping the light will be very short :)
as soon as Neal has his PayPal back the groubuy can make a big step to its finish line. :)
