Torsion Bars / ARB Group Buy **FIRST POST UPDATED**

[Jonny81191]

Ladies and gents, group buy closes tomorrow. If you still want them and you've not yet paid please get in touch asap as if i've had no contact by tomorrow night they'll not be ordered. If you think you can't pay for a couple of days please PM me and i'll see what I can do.

Carl (c.gerrard) is away in amsterdam. I know he really wants a set, anything you can do to hold fire till the weekend?

[cwspellowe]

Pfft there's always one. Suppose I could stump up for a set and sell them on, how trustworthy is he that he'll buy them off me?

[Jonny81191]

Trustworthy enough that if I had the cash, I'd pay up. But we don't know what size he wants...

I guess around 22mm, he definitely mentioned to me he didn't want massive ones.

Well each to thier own

[Jonny81191]

Thought someone would pick up on that..

[cwspellowe]

When's he back? Couple of people still haven't paid up so I suppose I can hang on for a day or two...

[Jonny81191]

Saturday I think.

Fellas, just to give you a heads up, i've spoken with Steve and they're getting through the orders on a first come first served basis. They weren't expecting quite so many so had to order materials in for the work, but they're expecting to have finished and posted the majority of the orders by Friday this week.

Sorry for the delay, it's taken longer than anticipated which is partly my fault for being over optimistic with the timescales. They're on the way soon though, and hopefully the earlier of the payees will start seeing them through this week.

Will let you know if anything changes but please be patient. I've not got mine either so I feel your pain

Is it to late to pay for mine..I have been away so just seen the post today?

[cwspellowe]

Hmm. I guess I could try pull some strings if you ask nicely.

Can't PM you as you've not got enough posts, email me on stancewagon@hotmail.co.uk and i'll see what I can do

[Niall]

Has he given you any news on if the first payers ones have been sent out yet? Got this weekend off so would like to get them fitted!

[cwspellowe]

Oops sorry fellas, not been on in a few days. Unfortunately it's taken a lot longer than I originally expected. Their original sales patter was a set takes around 1 week start to finish, ready to be posted. Now it seems that everyone should start seeing them through towards the end of this coming week.

Sorry for the delays, goalposts keep getting moved and all I have is their word that they'll be in the post by then. A week ago they told me we'd be seeing them by now, as of a few days ago that's now next week.

Will keep you posted, don't worry i'm not doing a runner. Too many people know where I live

[Niall]

cool. Not being funny but is the company actually a reputable company? Seems a bit odd that a professional company can get their time frames drastically wrong!

[cwspellowe]

Yeah, they're a company called Performance Torsion. There's been many group buys in the past with them, including with 106RR, but I haven't checked timescales with the previous group buys.

It does seem an awful long time tbh and it's pissing me off now, especially as I have 20+ people asking the same questions every few days.

Really not worth the hassle I don't think, i'll provide contact details if anyone wants to run a group buy in future but tbh I really can't be arsed. Handled over £5k through Paypal and I don't feel comfortable with that kind of money hanging over my head.

The money was all sent as a proper payment through Paypal though so worst comes to the worst I can open a case if they take the piss. Don't want to have it come to that though.

[Niall]

ah good good. Was just a bit worried that if it was a little back street place, they might of been trying to have us on.

Tbh it does take the piss as well as their postage costs and its going to be about 3 weeks wait. I cant see why they couldnt of posted the first batch as and when they get a few sets made!

[cwspellowe]

Yeah, and I told him I was aiming for 15+ orders and then after paying them all up they said they needed to order more materials?

Not the most efficient of processes and for £25 postage i'd expect them the same day as they're shipped. I know for a fact it's only £10 or so for a pair of bars as i'm selling my 20mm ones. I guess that's just their way of making the price more appealing, £180+postage sounds more attractive than £205 posted. Mind games I tell ye.

[Niall]

well if there not about by next weekend, mass forum witch hunt?

[cwspellowe]

Go for it. I'll get the other forums invplved too

[Marv]

Other forums already here and reporting for duty

[Niall]

Other forums already here and reporting for duty

thats what we like

[cwspellowe]

I might set up another group buy for fuel for the road trip.

Marv can you pass on the news for me please fella?

[Marv]

I can post in the thread on 106oc, did anyone on there except me buy any?

[cwspellowe]

Err actually, only Kris and i've spoken to him already.

So, erm, tell everyone. If you find time.

[Niall]

hmm yeah he is far away. Maybe we should just do what the british do best and send him a stern letter on headed paper first class and wait patiently for a response?

[cwspellowe]

Just had an email from them, all sets are being shipped tomorrow. Expect them in the next few days.

Finally!

Thanks for your patience fellas, if i'd realised they'd take this long i'd have said when I first organised the group buy.

[Niall]

thanks for the update. Was actually starting to worry i had lost my money!

[Jonny81191]

Great, cheers man!
