Thanks for the reassurance. I'm a worrier. I don't think I've ever had a problem with mail-order stuff, even from overseas, showing up, but I still get anxious.

Receive your stuff? Anyone receive their tubes?

Not yet. When I run the tracking number at the USPS site, I still get "Origin post preparing shipment."
My other order is listed by banggood as "no tracking."Take it easy,

We are all in the same boat, it seems...after a week of inactivity, tried to cancel my order, but they generated a tracking number shortly after and lied with "oh, sorry for the inconvenience sir but it already shipped". Whether it gets here in the allotted time frame determines a ppp dispute or not...
My three arrived this morning.
Edit>> Well packed, in good working order (well, at least through the packaging).

Update: My tracking status just changed to "Processed through sort facility, ICS Chicago, IL."
That's a relief!

Glad you can enjoy yours...mine never shipped and they were trying to play it off like there were weather delays. Then I pointed out the priority mail upgrade, and that they took a freaking week to generate a fake tracking number AFTER I requested a cancellation, and led me around some bs that they couldnt intercept a package, only to turn around and say that they WERE able to intercept the package after 21 days and will refund me WHEN THEY GET THE PACKAGE BACK. (Fake tracking number still hasnt updated from "accepted" status, as expected.)

I only ordered the two lights so there was no tracking or anything for me. It showed shipped the day after I ordered and that was the 18th of last month.

I ordered 3 each of two other models and one of these, and they all shipped separately, not unusual for these type of sites. The other two models have arrived, several days apart, and still waiting on the Tube. I am not really worried.

Great that you guys have all been getting yours...I happen to be the one unlucky lemon that they decided to muck up...had a k40m coming on sale too. Ive worked in the logistics business before...if weather and "customs" and a fake tracking number dating back to 1/1/1900 didnt raise any flags for me, there wouldve been something to look forward to...in about 2 months. They obviously did not ship my order, as it is damn near impossible and tedious to intercept and get a package back from overseas after a month. Not only did it never make it to customs, but it never left their warehouse.
Nitecore Tube - $5.99USD & Free Shipping
My pair of Tubes arrived today. One has a less cool tint and is OK.
My old, no longer offered, Photon ReX has more throw and kind of a better (more neutral) tint. Using the Photon USB charger, one needs to remove the ReX when it blinks brightly, because it is still sending ~.07Amps to the battery, while the Tube goes to zero Amps when the inner blue LED goes out. Charging is .11-.12Amps. This info is taken from an Xtar USB Detector.
It is a nice little economical light. I don't see PWM in the shower or swinging the light quickly. The one nitpick is I wish it had a lower sublumen mode but no big deal.
The package came from ZHUANG QUIUHUA ZONGTENG TECHNOLOGY CO LTD with no mention of banggood.com

Worked OK after charging 80 min. & the wife was amazed .
One is now clipped on her purse - to find things within .
