Hi,


For the people that have escalated their pay pal to dispute, I am returning your money tonight. Anyone else want to bail, please do so. I will eat them all if I have to.

I will never do anything like this again. I have been on this forum since before the 914club breakup. If anyone ever contemplates a group buy, I have advice that on how I would do it differently.

I cannot express how offended I am that someone would think that would take advantage of them.

I am at risk for the whole cost of this group buy. If Neil falls thru, I eat it. He came through on the last group buy. Let's face.

Anyone else want to bail, dispute through pay-pal.

Carlos


Sorry to hear of your concerns. I was in on the initial GB on this Tuna Can.

As for those that have initiated a disput via PayPal because they can't wait or think you've taken advantage of them for say $65.00 and can't stand loosing that amount. They simply should get another hobby...but that's just my opinion.
The forum participation have " evolve " . Some might say they trust everyone, but in reality...I don't think so.
Good luck finalizing this GB.
Just my .02....and no I have no skin with this GB...and yes, I've been here since the break up of the original club

Hi,

I have pinged Neil regarding a delivery date. I will update here as soon as I hear from him.

I guess I should have told my 85 year mother I couldn't come down to Fla to take care of her during her medical emergency.

Carlos
Carlos, I don't envision disputing my payment and will allow Neil to fulfill this current GB order as he agreed to.

It took a while for the delivery of the initial [Tuna/Taco] GB that Chris (CFR) and I conducted a couple years ago, but Neil fulfilled his end of the deal just fine then.

Everybody who opted-in for this GB should stay the course ... no way Carlos should be taking a hit on this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I agree completely. No way Carlos should lose out here guys, he has helped you all out getting a bulk order together to save you money.

This order WILL be completed and shipped out. Have no concerns there. Thats the only way i work. i do apologise for any delays, i'm a one man band and life often puts hurdles in the way. We have to take them in our stride.

Please consider Carlos here and put a little faith back into a man's word.

Cheers,
Neil

If anyone does drop out, I'll take their set (all three pieces). Send me a PM with payment and availability details.

Thanks!

I'm surprised and sorry to hear that people are bailing out and disputing PayPal Carlos. Its a group buy, from the UK, one man show, awesome product...

People, have some damn patience or don't jump in on this kind of thing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

If you get stuck holding an extra tuna can, I'll take it. Just PM me. I think most people understood this was a made to order part and it would take time. Shame people have made you feel this way. I for one appreciate your efforts.

Sorry to hear that Carlos... Everybody assumes a risk on a group buy. Especially the facillitator and the guy making it. If you read my post these HIGH QUALITY PARTS take time to make, it has to pass customs, then Carlos has to send them out to us. Don't let them steal your joy.

You got more time than me...not stupid. It adds about 1/2 quarts of oil to your engine. The cover replaces the oil sump cover and the taco plate(or oil sender switch cover) is exactly that. All made from aluminum.

The main purpose is to have a small vessel of oil at a lower pick up point rather than relying on the pick up point at the bottom of the engine case, thereby providing constant source to the oil pump. This helps to eliminate cavatation during hard cornering.

Cool, David.

Those who dropped out lost out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

How did you get yours before Neil shipped them, David?

The Group Buy parcel will be with UPS tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience and of course for your orders.

Cheers,

Hi, I know but don't feel free to say. Nothing nefarious.

David placed a separate order outside of the group buy and paid full price for the part and shipping. It was for 1 part only and had no impact on the group buy.
