[group Buy] Acpt Carbon Fibre Tailshafts Any Model! $1400us

[Angus Smart]

still waiting guys..

I think paul is pushing james to find a better shipping quote to get us out of the shit.

As i said before, we were getting charged 300, when paul gets many other shafts over for 120-130..

i will update as soon as i do find out about anything tho!

[OS30GK]

make sure you keep the pressure on the paul bloke. He could be blowing steam up your rear end to not have to deal with it and blow you off. We are rather desperate for the shaft as customers car is sitting on second hoist needding this to finish it off.

Hey Andrew whats the story...

Are they trying to charge $300 for the freight delivery from the states??? Cause thats a crock bullsh#t. I get heaps of stuff imported from the states to Japan and theres no way it would be that much. Whats the go?

I`m not gettinng up ya, just reckon we need this bloke to either give a definitive answer and get the things sent. I need it soon as, car goes back in for more mods 6/10/08 and final tune.

Just letting you know payment was made on the 23 June 08 and now its 26 September 08. Thats a quarter of the year and still going. Its not your fault Andrew but i have a bad feeling this is not going to get better, if the US dollar changes its going to get worse and as far as i am concerned if i was ACPT i would not be giving in to cheaper freight, as I can guarantee they would have a figure included in the freight for their time for prepping the shafts to send off, packaging etc. I think we bite the bullet pay the difference that way it is definate and they will have to honour their service by sending them off asap. The longer this goes on the worst it is going to get, well thats how i feel about this situation. They are a large corporation who could more than likely care less whether a few Australian people are annoyed. They have money in their possession already and still holding the goods with no incentive to move them on without balancing their books to the change in the dollar. Think about it.

[OS30GK]

by the way tried to contact your phone its disconnected, new number?

[elrodeo666]

Yeah I agree.

Lets just sort out what needs to be paid and get them on the way. They still work out to be cheap, they are over $3000 aussie here in japan.

[Mr. Keets]

Yeah I agree.

Right on. Either way we are still getting a good deal. I'm sure Andrew is doing his best, we just need to be a bit more patient...I'm sure they aren't far away.

[arep3]

Im out..... Mick I hope you enjoy that shaft mate. Daily is more important to me at the moment....

Good luck guys.

[wrxkilla]

thanks Ron.

Looking forward to the saga finishing...

[Angus Smart]

I'm going to throw a party when its all over!!

nothing to report as of yet.. i pray this week we will get something positive!

[OS30GK]

andrew you better be running around chanting to the gods to get something to happen. I emailed Paul and he is just dodging answering my questions about sending the shaft off... something isnt right.

Come to TAS and I'll buy you a Super Dry . Prayer...so it's come to that ay? lol

He's probably only wants to deal with one person...here's hoping anyway

[OS30GK]

i asked him directly to send my shaft off as it is needed for a customer, stating have spoken to andrew and that andrew knew i was going to contact him in regards to get it sent off asap. dodged answering and blew me off... "waiting to hear back from acpt any day now." that was his response

[Angus Smart]

He is like that eh, haha i trust that everything is ok, as i have copies of emails sent from james also. and james has sent me some too. i do really hope the shipping problem is resolved quickly tho! it sure it taking a while!

[Angus Smart]

Come to TAS and I'll buy you a Super Dry

I actually only started drinking beer in the last few months. so its a possibility its on the cards now haha

[Piggaz]

Andrew, are we just waiting on confirmation with what we are doing with the shipping?

[Angus Smart]

Hey Paul, That is correct Apparently its taking some time for James to get a quote from usps.

from what i can see. usually Paul(sts) gets alloy shafts from california for around 120-130 a piece.

we had included in our deal 300 worth of shipping.

if we can get that screwed down correctly 12x160ish $1900us in savings that will offset the exchange problem.

[OS30GK]

So it has taken almost a month to get a quote from USPS? You have to agree that is pretty pathetic. I have ordered full carbon kits for my M3 back in the day from the USA without a month delay... Someone needs to get their finger out overseas and finish the deal, I can see ACPT just delaying us in order for us to give in and pay the difference. They have control of the deal as they already have partial payment and the goods which makes no sense for them to go shopping for cheaper freight. I am pretty sure they have charges in the $300 freight which is for their time of prepping the packages etc which they wouldnt want to do for less as it messes their mark up.

Yep I agree with you. I get alot of different stuff sent to and from the states and usually takes a day or 2 tops to get a quote from UPS or FEDEX if not faster. $300 for freight and packaging seems pretty steep to me. I just had a 95 kilo of freight on a pallet come in from the States and that was only $185 US but thats to Japan.

Right now I`d rather get a definitive answer and pay the difference if need be and get the bloody thing in my car! The aussie dollar excahange will only get worse. Think we`re getting the run around. I say lets get it all locked up one way or the other and get the units delivered.

another thing with the dollar dropping and the current market drop yesterday we are looking at more than the expected difference, it will become more as time goes on. I think just pay the difference, dont keep good feedback towards ACPT and be done with it. Sooner we get this over and done with the easier life is going to be for everyone. We are past 3 months now even with the shafts ready to be sent for over a month... Not good.
