I'm grateful. Coordinating group buys is pretty damn thankless, unfortunately. That being shared, proactive communication, especially when delays are anticipated, help maintain critical trust / confidence.

Carlos ,I didn't get in on this, but if you have left-overs from the dickwads who bailed, I'll step up,I may not use it but I'll take one anyways.


Before you start calling names, a nice healthy dose of STFU might be in order while you hear the other side of the story.

As someone who wanted two of everything (to the tune of $290.16) I placed my order like everyone else and paid on June 27. Look back at this thread to see the updates.

On 8/25 I ask for an update. User activity (which, I assume, can be easily verified by Andy) showed that Carlos had not been on the forums since 8/16.

On 8/27 (with no one responding) I start a claim with paypal as follows:

8/27/2016 13:07 EDT - Buyer: Hi,Do you have an estimated delivery time on the parts? It has now been two months. If the parts are no longer available please refund my money.Bill


On 8/27 jonesy says they will ship next week.
On 9/5 another buyer asks for a status. I ask on 9/6.

At this point (IIRC) Carlos had still not been on the forum since 8/16. Having been down this road before, I'm getting the feeling this isn't going to end well.

On 9/6 (with no response) I file the following in paypal:

9/6/2016 16:03 EDT - Buyer: I have not received the parts I ordered nor have I had a response from the seller. Please refund my money.Thank you


Carlos finally posts on 9/9.

So, did I renege on the deal? No. I paid for the parts and waited for them. However, a lack of communication made me nervous. I am not blaming Carlos or anyone else..it is what it is. I will gladly accept the parts I originally ordered. However, if the sellers want to sell to someone else I understand.

I appreciate all those who were not involved proferring an opinion on the safety of my money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Why did I post this? So name callers with no skin in the game might exercise some restraint before they start their name calling.

That's fair enough and understandable from my point of view.

I hope there's no hard feelings for anyone on this.

The group buy was aimed to help people save money. i hope people don't fall out in doing so, as that would be a shame.

I don't think there's any hard feelings at all.... except from a few who had no initial interest in the buy but now want to buy the leftovers while calling the people who initially fronted the money names. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

As I said, I'm still happy to buy my original order (which was two of everything). If you guys would rather sell to someone else I'm good with that...either way.

We're just talking car parts...not life or death (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I needed a custom part and didn't want to complicate the group order. The only reason I posted was to let you know that you would be receiving your parts soon

This is my last post here. I need to let this thread die.
If you paid me, I emailed you from payments that I received from PayPal. Please respond via email. I am attaching a photo here.

Thanks to all who put up with me.

I did that twice when I was filing my US citizen paperwork. I understand the first time but the second time I was still short $.50 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and they would process till 100% payment was received. Of course I blame it on the alcohol also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Hello again to you all.

Hopefully you now all have the parts you wanted. Again, thanks Carlos.

It's completely off topic for both these parts and for 914's but its the background that brought me to this point today so i'm celebrating my business with some t-shirts.

I've put up an advert for them, hopefully in the correct section.

If you'd like to take a look and order a t-shirt from me then it would be a real pleasure to know that some of these shirts are being worn over the pond.

Heres the advert;
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=300087

Thanks again to you all for your orders in the past and if i can help again in the future please just let me know.

Neil
