@Brett H

Is 1300 Lumens correct?

Yes, i intend some little corrections such as to indicate that the driver is based on attiny25, tailcap is a lighted tailcap…

Wow, the helicopter video looks like a higher output light than 1300 lumen?

[bella-headlight]

Thanks, just had a look

[bella-headlight]

Come on then Cyberescudo, get the codes out please

[2Ace]

If it’s not too late, put me down for one CW please

[The_Miller]

Hey I quote from the OP
The COMETA will be ready before 15th April. Big Smile
Italy is in the same timezone as I am, 1 hour 35 minutes and 40 seconds!!!

Hi,
is it correct that buyers from Europe are guaranteed to have their COMETA shipped from banggood EU warehouse directly?
If so, I might order a second one in NW, but only if they are shipped from Eu warehouse (customs you know…)

Yes, it is what the vendor told me.

At the moment it’s only listed in the CN warehouse.
Any news on this? This makes a big difference for EU customers if there is no problem (costs) with customs.

As if BG writes $40 on the label, there will be something like $17 or even $13 on it, no taxes, just a looooong wait

The lower number on the label may slightly reduce the risk that it’s being sorted out by customs, but they are (at least here) not dumb and know how to use Google and this will lead them to the $59,99 price on the BG website.

Aren’t you taxed on what you pay vs the retail price?

Yes sure, but this requires a trip to the other end of the city to show them a print of the Paypal invoice.

Three more days…
THREE MORE DAYS!!!
Even my wife wants to hold this pilot approved flashlight
three more days and then the real ordeal, NOT checking shipping status

Hey The Miller- I hope you don’t have to buy her the Helicopter too….but it will be cool to hold and play around with for sure.

At least give Cyberescudo the chance to get out of bed and have breakfast!

I think the units must first be physically shipped from the china factory to the EU warehouse, normally that will be done by fright containers via ship, this can take a few days/weeks…

If it is to be that way,we have to wait more,because many containers travel finally by train through Greece,and we have a problem here, because there is a blockade to the railway by refugees in Idomeni .

SHHH

Well Banggood ships pretty fast, but indeed shipped from EU is better.
The Tax is not so much the problem, that is 19-21% so the 20 extra valua on Banggood only adds about €4
There is administration on top of taxes, so even when only having to pay for example €5 in taxes the total aount to be paid at mailman never is lower then €32
