At the end of the day, ultimate are going to get 20 orders, whether it be this week or this month. There's enough interest out there for this group buy to be completed.
I was happy to wait with the knowledge that my seat covers hadn't been made. However, if my covers are completed, then I think it is unfair for ultimate to withhold delivering them because of some "group buy" contract. They would be better off cutting their losses (if there even is any) at 17 and finding three other customers to pay the full amount. If it was to go to court or small claims (god forbid) then it would be Ultimate that would come out of it with a mark against their name, not the paying customer.
It would be really nice to have something to show for the 500 odd dollars I spent more than 3 months ago.
I also doubt that this thread is doing any favours convincing people that they should buy a set of covers.
