ok guys, things have been going a bit haywire, so im pulling the plug on the group buy. full refunds will be given.
and i am completely fcuked off with the supplier. you can read all the details and dates below. i've omitted the suppliers details but you will get the jist of it.
he basically has the weekend to make or break the deal and it's completely in his hands, i have made my position clear. i dont like being lied to or jerked around.
in his defence the first order went like clockwork but this one has been a pain in the @ss since day 1.
---------------------------
hi bill,
i have been speaking to the people who have put forward their deposits for the bonnet and have let them know that you said you were guaranteeing to send out the bonnets on tuesday as in the email below.
you then went onto say on wednesday that the bonnets had been shipped and you were giving me a tracking number asap.
today you have confirmed that they still have not been sent. as such i am cancelling my order and going to another supplier who can guarantee me delivery and will not lie to me about items being shipped when they havent.
please refund my payment as soon as you receive this.

Re: Carbon Fibre Border Bonnet Group Buy Progress
hmmmm.....unlucky on that mate. He's probably just having problems coping with the demand and is tagging you along so as not to lose the sale.
Re: Carbon Fibre Border Bonnet Group Buy Progress
....and who the heck is francis upe?????
Re: Carbon Fibre Border Bonnet Group Buy Progress
shaf just keep us informed. to be honest though if its going to fall through just because the bonnets are going to be a bit late, i really don't mind waiting for mine.
Cheers!

Re: Carbon Fibre Border Bonnet Group Buy Progress
yeah, but as you may appreciate i have a lot of money tied up in this, that i should be using to source my trd mr2 and i dont like being jerked around by the guy.
im gonna wait for his response, but if he doesnt grovel and beg. im gonna go and tell him to take a running jump.
i need to get my money back so i can arrange for the shipping of my trd asap.
i will try my best for you guys but if he doesnt play ball then i guess it's better that we know now rather than later. i will keep you updated but that is the progress so far.... as in he lied to me saying that he had sent them out when he really hadnt.

Re: Carbon Fibre Border Bonnet Group Buy Progress
good work mate. so if he ain't lying to you again, when would you think they would arrive?
Re: Carbon Fibre Border Bonnet Group Buy Progress
if he aint lying, and they do go out tomorrow. i reckon i could have my grubby mitts on them within 10 days, depending on how quickly they can get through customs in the holiday period..... im hoping around january 5th
