From the sound of it (see this thread), shipping is going to be a reasonably major expense for the 914 R/C body group buy.
Is anyone interested in getting a SF Bay Area deal going on this? It could cut down on the shipping quite a bit. (Even more, if the car bodies stack or "nest" nicely!) One person would buy N of them from Ed, and the locals would stop in and get them in person... This would also cut down on the "hassle factor" for Ed, so it could be a win/win. I could be the guy "in the barrel", but it would probably be better if someone who actually had a Pay Pal account were to bo the guy. And, of course, this is all at the sufferance of Ed, who is being nice enough to do the whole distributorship thing for us. --DD |

OK, Here is where we are at.
I asked why we didn't get them. He stopped shipment, because the parts were not good looking. When he said that it wasn't quite as nice as the pic, he looked again and said that he didn't even want to ship because they would all be shipped back. He sent me a part. It is a cross between a 914 and a Pacer. Very rounded, must have been blown out of mold to quick? Carson apologized and is sending replacements. He said he will send out from there (CA in 2 weeks when Carson makes good on their promise). If anyone wants out, email me and I'll refund your money, and try to get it back from the distributor. I'm going to stick it out, since I have waited this long, its becoming the "Harry Potter Book " in the form of the R/C Body. Its not a lot of money individually, but overall it adds up. So I'll email again in 2 weeks when I hear from our Guy. I'm trying to keep on top of this and will do whatever it takes to finish it. Thanks again for your patience... I hope it was all worth it. |
