I received yesterday the message that the ordered Flint 4 has arrived at GLi’s warehouse in Germany and it will be shipped to me on the 24th of August.
Probably it will arrive here in the Netherlands next week.
I guess Australia is way down the list (down under) lol.......

That's a good one
Have you got the dispatch information today? I haven't yet
Nothing yet.
I think their original email about the dispatch being prepared was intentionally ambiguous. Whilst I hoped I’d get the dispatch email yesterday, I’m now thinking it will be some point this week. I guess we need to remember they’re a small company, so I’d expect their capability for shipping items is also small.
On the other hand however, it’s not as though they have 10000 of these devices to ship from each region…
Ironically(?!), the SPF BiDi and fibre cable I ordered on Friday, for the new Flint arrived yesterday.
After receiving the email (posted before) that the Flint 4 will be shipped on the 24th of August I received no email with a tracking code or comparable,
Will there be a tracking code send when really shipped?
I think it’s a poorly translated message. Reading between the lines, I believe what they meant to write was that the devices would begin shipping from 24th August. Given that the email subject is “Your Flint 4 is Shipping Soon” and that they use the phrase “begin shipping” prior to writing the date…
That aside, if they have them in the local warehouses, I don’t understand why they’re taking so long to actually get them out the door.
SFP+ that connects over copper are usually a miniaturized switch that links to the switch as a native 10G port regardless of the copper link.
SFP+ that connect over fiber usually works at 1/10 G.
Just received my ‘A shipment from order GL-XXXXX’ email. It’s on it’s way.
I got mine too just now
