EuroConnex GB: Supersprint Exhaust Systems

[Vibein]

Would be great if I can get a account to look at the pricing, not heard back from anyone...

[chapmans]

So basically ECS dragged their feet long enough approving this group buy that the manufacturing ran into a totally predictable shutdown at the factory.

The last time I spoke with the ECS sale rep, he told me the Oct. time frame is most likely not going to change. Apparently Italians take summer break/vacation and won't start up production again until they all come back to work. I don't know how true that is, but we won't see our orders until mid to late Oct.

If the delay is caused by this, then that's kind of disappointing. That Italian summer vacation happens every year, in fact we joke about getting Ferodo orders in before their summer break happens.

Don't compare this to the russian one.

Worst GB ever, right behind the Russian mafia CF rear seat delete. Meet the new GB boss, same as the old boss.

This boils down to expectation setting and communication. When I ordered it was stated that we would be looking at a mid-July delivery for parts and it was not communicated till after I had paid that it would be October. I’m all for being flexible so long as the party I am working with can do the same.

Between all of forums / groups being solicited to sign up, I would not be surprised if there wasn’t 100-200K worth of parts being ordered here so someone must know what’s up.

Apparently you're so hot and bothered that it's affected your reading comprehension and you've edited your posts five times already. I stated it's fucked up Turner/ECS isn't responding, not sure why you went ballistic and started attacking me perhaps because I didn't grab a pitchfork with you guys. I'm not on your side and I'm not on Matts/ECS/Turners side. Not sure how my post set you off like that so I'm not going to pour anymore fuel on the fire. You need to cool off.

For the record I've paid thousands several times and have had to wait up to 6 months at times and guess what? I never cried about it online. You paid what like 3k a month ago? Get over it.

I'm done with you but I'll be reading this thread sipping my coffee and injecting common sense when I feel so obliged.

LOL ok big boy. You’re a waste of my time. Apparently you cannot read and live in your own world.

What facts?



This is opinion, not fact

Not mad, just silly to respond to my comment (an opinion) with your own opinion. I have mine and if you don’t agree that’s fine but I’m not changing my mind because you shared your OPINION about how to run a business.

Actually I've been on m3 forums for 20 years now you tryna insult me because I'm speaking facts?

Damn you're really mad about this huh?

What facts?

If I were running a business I would definitely collect all the money up front on any pre-orders or group buy for 100k worth of parts and if someone didn't want to wait 3-4 mos? Shrug who cares go pay full price elsewhere.

Not mad, just silly to respond to my comment (an opinion) with your own opinion somehow twisting it as “facts”. I have my opinion and if you don’t agree that’s fine but I’m not changing my mind because you shared your OPINION about how to run a business.

We don’t know why payment was collected 4 months in advance or if the estimate we received is wrong. This is a fact. It also was never mentioned we would have a delay on some products when we paid. Reasonable to have delays. Very unreasonable to pay in full for a product arriving 4 months later, especially to a company the size of ECS. Fact.

[jet_dogg]

LOL ok, i have my opinion and you have yours.

Clearly I’m not alone in feeling this way. It also wasn’t communicated in advance payment would be due 4 months in advance of delivery.

First time using the internet? Get over it

Matt should at least keep everyone in the loop and fucked up how Turner/ECS ain't responding though.

ECS isn’t a company I’d model a business against. They don’t have the best reputation but here you are defending them. If you ran a business i wouldn’t support you

[jet_dogg]

It’s not the delay that gets me, it’s collecting full payment 4 months in advance. Retailers and all group buys I have ran or participated in usually charge the full amount right before shipment.

Collecting a small deposit ahead of time? Sure, it’s reasonable.
