OP updated with:
First real Q8 flashlights arriving.
FIRST
IMPORTANT: DO NO EMAIL BANGGOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT ABOUT SHIPPING< YOU WILL GET A BASIC RESPONSE THAT DOES NOT HELP YOU AT ALL. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTION IN THIS THREAD WRITING Question for Banggood above it (IN BOLD so I can easy spot it even when with a lot of new posts.
Collected questions:
When are we going to see stock again?
What happens with expedited shipping, paid for but not arriving sooner? (WE NEED A PIC OF SHIPPING LABEL WHEN IT ARRIVES TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON THIS! NO PIC OF LABEL PMMED WE CANT DO ANYTHING!) Answer pending, awaiting arrival of these Q8 lights and pictures of shipping label
SECOND
Relax about shipping of your order, it will get there. the dates mentioned on Banggood do not say anything other then the absolute latest, when the pre orders started it was not clear that th first would be send out so fast yet shipping started the same day and while it was expected that now after a week the shipping would commence, some already have their Q8 in hand. read FIRST again and please “order and forget” is much better for ones stress levelsthat constantly checking shipping status. JUST DONT DO IT!
Tracking is buggy at best, there is a long chain between you and your light, delays are possible at each link of that chain.
THIRD
Issues, please post your issues, or things you think that might be an issue. It will be added.
keep it at REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE ISSUES,what you THINK that COULD be an issue is very good to remember for yourself, no need to post about it.

Perceived issues NOT CONFIRMED
SCREWS:
Screws. really not an issue, they do their job, are lower then the brass ring of the driver. One might want to change them, please discuss in Q8 modding topic https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/46241
Please stop talking about the screws in this topic unless there is a real issue in YOUR light with them.
Some tips on the screws, they are tight, use a properly fitting screwdriver and to be sure a rubber band to make the screwdriver fit even better while removing them.
