Group Buy of AVCR from SDU

[32ZiLA]

Did anyone buy any of these AVCRs that were on a group buy from a guy in NZ? AUD $800?

[U WERE MINE]

no.. but i been hearing its turned into a bit of a shamble..

why u ask?

[32ZiLA]

It has been a shambles.

Problems with customs getting them into NZ.

Problems with shipping from NZ.

I'm still waiting.

[U WERE MINE]

well at least it seems like ure getting them .. eventually..

i heard some storys of some ppl paying for items in cash and never recieving .. those are the ones i realy feel sorry for...

hope u get it soon man

[32ZiLA]

And this was the group buy?

Some people have been ripped off?

[U WERE MINE]

yeah but wont u guys still be getting the items eventually??

[32ZiLA]

I hope.

Mine was apparently sent on th 12/06. But it shouldn't have taken this long.

[Silver-Arrowz]

I was told that mine was sent out on the 21st June.

If I don't get anything, I'll settle this matter my own way.

[Silver-Arrowz]

Has anyone recieved anything yet? Have anyone heard anything?

[32ZiLA]

Got an email this morning saying they are in the middle of sorting it out.

But until I get it or a tracking number....?

[Guest Impul 25T]

The initial delay was that they were held up in customs NZ as they wouldn't release them. I did here that they arrived in wgtn about two weeks ago.

They will turn up, I will follow up with the right people about it for ya.

The relevant thread on SDU has been effectively deleted by RazorGTR, who is a friend of Ashley and Matt...

I can only assume that he is trying to cover their tracks.

When confronted with this in the Moderator forum on SDU, along with references to how his neanderthal deleting everything that doesn't sit well with his highness, he went ballistic.... I swear to God that guy is mentally unstable.

I would post it here, as it was so funny my stomach was hurting from laughing so much, but another kiwi friend of his deleted the thread.... TWICE (and counting).

Feel free to express your free opinions here. He has no access to delete free speech here.

I've pretty much come to that conclusion also.

Can someone confirm if their "business" is legit? Is it registered?

If it's the same guys that were organising the PowerFC group buys, then it sounded dodgy...

My cousin (his log-in on SDU is "Blukie") made some enquiries to possibly purchase one himself for his GTS25t. Apparently they listed on the thread that they needed a certain amount of orders before it would be financially viable to make the purchase - I think they quoted 25, but I can't remember exactly...

Anyway, Blukie sent emails back and forth to get details of how the money and product transfers were going to happen. Price-wise it looked pretty good, what with our pathetic dollar being worth more than the $NZ. But what they failed to mention in the thread was that they needed 25 (as an example) orders for EACH kind of PowerFC - i.e. 25 for the R-32 GTSt, 25 for the R-32 GT-R, 25 for the R-33 GTS25t, etc. Another factor was the amount of time that the transfers would take for the units to arrive, even though they'd held your money for god-only-knows how long...

I'm not so sure that it would be a good idea, especially seeing as they're across the pond. Not that that's a major factor, but it doesn't help if things were to go wrong...

For your sake, 32ZiLA, i hope it's not the same guys!

Merli, Razor has nothing to do with Ash and Matt.

Don't spout off about what you don't know the full story to.

And the thread IS still there.

Content removed as I was just "spouting off" a whole lot of crap, even after just speaking to Ashley on the phone. But hey, Merli knows all!

I tried to help you sort it out, but my help wasn't wanted.

[Merli]

Impul25T: Razor is friends with Ashley and Matt.

The thread is still there, bar 3 pages of people's complaints that they've been ****ed up the ass... Razor deleted all posts from people who complained that they haven't recieved their goods, and started to ask questions. That's ****ing dodgy **** if you ask me. *THAT* is the full story. Don't tell me what I do and don't know... You're only looking just as bad as they are if you're trying to stick up for them...

What they have done is discredited their "business" by not supplying goods on time (if at all)... There is no defending them.

I think *you* should stop "spouting off" crap trying to defend these people who have taken our friends' money and not given anything but heartache in return.

Andrew. :uh-huh:

[Guest Impul 25T]

1. Razor is NOT friends with Ashley and Matt. They have never met. And I am buggered if I know how you think they are.

2. I am not defending them, I am trying to explain what the deal is at the moment and trying to help your friends get there stuff. I don't mind, I can just forget about it if you want as I am just spouting off, it doesn't bother me.

3. You only know what you have read as far as this goes, or have you spoken to them?

[Silver-Arrowz]

Merli is right about the treads being deleted. I posted a message and it went into thin air.

As for if they are friends, who gives a flying f**k. I have not recieved my goods and still waiting. That little stunt by Razor is of no help either to those of us who haven't recieved out goods.
