Just finished sending PMs to those with issues, IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS PLEASE PM ME AFF LINK RESULTS AND WHAT HAPPENED (or is happening) WITH IT. Despite we were not aiming at making money Banggood was so kind to still allow us to do so. It seemed fair to distribute these funds roughly like this: 40% team (7 people) 40% special involved BLFers (14 people) 20% GAW for those on the list before the PMs were send. Over 1300 people have used the aff link and I have recieved money on my PayPal. After fees and taxes this is what it boils down to: 7 x ~$55 for each member of the team $385 (free to use how they want as of now $82.50 allocated for Mrs Lumens) 14 x ~$27,50 for special involved BLFers $385 (payments started to those who reacted, as of now $27.50 allocated for Mrs Lumens) ) 14 x ~$14 for a GAW to members on the list before PMs send $196 (SB is yet to draw, so winners will e published later and given the choice as the rest has, they can use it for what they want $966 total to be distributed. Awaiting further response to PMs and emails now. If more choose to give it to Mrs Lumens it will be posted without the name, I want all to eel free to use it for what they want. So for now from confirmed reactions: $151.50 to Mrs Lumens $124.50 to BLF special fund http://budgetlightforum.com/comment/1201002#comment-1201002

PMs send to those with issues, please check.

If I have not missed anybody all with issues should have gotten a PM, if not, let me know. I am collecting the information so we can make haste with the solution(s).

PMs send to a few BLFers who helped a lot during the Q8 process. If the aff link results are in, I am going to ask SB to draw 14 numbers between 1 and 1730 for the little GAW as mentioned in the PM you all got with the code(s). Of course the winners and the end result of this will be published.

Groupbuy is closed now, so no new codes are given out by me.

For codes to bring the price down, see M4D M4X: http://budgetlightforum.com/node/37267

First 500 of new Q8 ready.

Production in full swing again.

Confirmed shipping via Banggood warehouse to cope with the coming holiday.

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.

CHECKING YOUR NEWLY ARRIVED Q8
