Group buy officially ended friday, so they wanted it locked so no one to be confused when the group buy was over. I guess I can use this thread to update status.

Order has been placed. Will update with tracking info when I get it. Will be shipped via EMS to me. I'll be sending out a confirmation email later to all purchasers confirming shipping address.

I searched the forum and found the GB thread locked.

Michael -- do you mind posted the finalized list of members who are part of the GB so there's no confusion or missed expectations?

TO EVERYONE WHO'S STILL SENDING ME PAYMENTS


GB is over and order has already been placed. Any payment now is just going to get refunded. You had plenty of time to send payment and already stated that I will not front any money to get your order in. Your best option is to wait to see if anyone is unhappy with their LED color and want to part them out. Last group buy we had a couple people who did so.

yeah. shouldn't have customs issues anymore with the experience gained from last round. A bit more of a hassle though that they only take international bank wire transfer, instead of paypal, which required me to go to my bank, fill out a few forms and put off bankers trying to sell me their products for half an hour.

Will update when I get more info, but they said it takes a few days for processing to ship.

I just got an email from them saying that the item will ship today to me. Figure a couple days depending on customs delay before they get to me. Hopefully sometime this week. It's out of my hand at this point, but as soon as I get them, I'll repackage them out and mail them out as soon as possible. This weekend being Memorial Weekend might delay the post office a bit, but hopefully you should all get them next week if all goes well. I'll update as soon as I receive them. Don't worry.

Hey Mike thanks for doing this. I'm actually heading up to LA on Friday if it's all right with you do you want to meet up some where so I can pick it up? I'll be driving up from SD on Friday and driving back down from LA on Monday. This is however assuming you get it before Friday. Let me know. Thanks

If you don't pay, you WILL be removed from this list, no exceptions as you have plenty of time from now till then to pay and I'm not fronting the money.
Sorry for the confusion. I did post later that order would be placed monday morning. You did have plenty of time and didn't have to wait till the very last day to make payment. And really, there were only two of you who tried to pay after that I refunded back. Like I said just wait till after people start getting their LEDs. Like last time, some won't like the shade and will be looking to part out.

Unfortunately, I'm in the bay area now and won't be back in LA area till next month.

Please read my question more carefully. I was not asking about what I ordered. I was following up on AZN's post about a confirmation email confirming shipping info.

Good news everyone, the LEDs have come in. I'll be repacking them tonight and tomorrow and ship them out tomorrow. I'll be emailing out the address confirmation either tonight or tomorrow morning as well. It'll just be a series of addresses and if yours is correct, no need to respond. If you see something wrong, then just email me back with the correction. I'm going by your paypal mailing address.
