You CAN stop time!
The first light & battery I ever ordered three years ago never arrived. I tracked the package to Canada, then customs checked it for a day and put it back into the system. It sat there for WEEKS. I finally asked the company I purchased them from to check up on it. They eventually shipped me a new set.
I now have two new rules. Never purchase a light AND batteries in the same package; and never purchase things in the last three months of the year. Some crook might consider them a nice Christmas gift.
I seem to recall a letter that was delivered 70 years late, so I'm still hopeful that I might still receive my light. Found it!
