EURO LENS GROUP BUY it's not going down, Time to send money back Options

[phillstek]

It's getting close to 5 months now since I sent my money for this group buy and I'm starting to get annoyed as the lack of product and information really drags on and on.

I sent Shoe a PM suggesting that he should not have to be an apologist for AA and that perhaps it was time for George to chime in... I never received a reply so I'm going public with my frustration.

Am I the only one feeling a tad pissed about the delays and the distinct lack of input from George?

What's actually happening? How long is it going to be till we get these items?

Let the flaming begin,

Phil

Just as a side note, when windshield seals were non-existent, I placed $5K in the hands of a dealer in Germany to buy 50-60 of them.

I waited one year .... when they were finally released, they all went to George and I got nada.

Dealer refunded my money.

I don't need these lenses. I jumped in on the buy to help Shoe out, so I can wait for the eventual outcome.

I understand Phil's frustration and not being able to register a car. I would also get antsy.

George may have a passion and makes money, but normally his communication and responses to problems is lacking. The attacks, while justified, may contribute to this lack.

My suggestion is to ignore the posts by George or AA.

My offer to ship Phil lenses still stands.

If I was waiting for a set of group buy lenses to come from India to register my car when originals from the same company were on the shelf but cost more money, I would just spring for the higher cost rather than letting my car sit. That may just be me though. Maybe I am no expense spared Hussey.
We have always had factory euro rear lenses on the shelf though, at least ten sets but very expensive, over 200 dollars EACH
I myself about a year ago was forced to purchase new factory tail light assemblies at over 800 each our cost to get red lenses for our white and orange limited edition we were restoring. When one gets into a car deeply like this then there is no turning back unfortunately.http://porschebahn.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/1974-porsche-914-best-of-class-winner-at-the-hilton-head-concours/ got some good pr though

The euros are coming along with 1000 sets of others, more italian and more usa be patient and be rewarded with a great deal on them.

For you our detractors, feel satisfied and laugh that this cost our company out of pocket almost 40 grand that will take a long time to recoup as I had to order a thousand sets to get them run. 50 or so sales at the club price did not make a dent, and I will be sitting on stock many years to come.

Also please remember that we are only a phone call away at 800 792 4944 and salesmen are standing by to take your order. I and my staff will be here until the day I die so you can rest assured that there will ALWAYS be a place you can count on for 914 parts even more than the Porsche factory. Love it or hate it, Automobile Atlanta is here for you our fellow 914 enthusiast!
