Steel Flair Goup Buy Update: January 11, New information Options

[gregrobbins]

Just finished getting an update from Mia at AA on the flairs.

There are 33 sets that are being boxed and shipped (many have already gone out) at this time. The manufacturer had fewer sets in stock than he first reported to AA. Right now we have 41 sets sold, and AA will honor the price thru end of business day Friday.

When George opened this up beyond the 30 sets on Monday, we were under the understanding that the supplier had more sets in storage. These are large items and it is common that a manufacturer will store items for a client and ship as needed. This morning is the first we learned that the number was lower. Had we known, we would have capped the buy at 30. However, this is a great price on a quality product, so the last eight plus anyone else who wants to get on board will be getting a heck of a deal.

This means the manufacturer will have to produce 8 more sets. The steel is on order and expected next week. The blanks are then pressed into shape and each flair requires about two hours of hand work before they are ready. Mia said it would be two to two and a half months before the final set gets shipped.

Here are the options for the last eight people to pay:

1. Take advantage of a great deal and wait for the flairs

2. Get a full refund

Remember, this buy was originally set up for 30, and all of the first 30 to pay, plus three more, will get their sets right away. Everyone else was on a waiting list.

If there are people who have purchased sets and do not need them right away and would be willing/prefer to have some of the later sets, please email me at:

Some have received tracking numbers and more will be getting them in the next day or two. I have asked AA for a list of the last eight to pay so that I will be able to contact you directly and review options.
