As many of you may know I arranged a GB for some Kobe leather gear last November.  Some members involved had previously purchased the matching Kobe jacket(s).

Anyway, the product had to be shipped overseas and just arrived a week ago and many people, including myself, have waited almost 6 months!  

They do have a limited quantity, so having your name on the GB waiting list was priority and almost everybody stuck it out.  I made this point quite clear to everyone who gave me their order and to anyone who read the GB thread.

I called FASTLAP today and they are telling me all the multiple horror stories of people trying to call in and order multiple items when their names were never on the list while providing all sorts of excuses like I'm ordering for a buddy or for my brother, etc.  Then these people are getting angry on the phone w/ FASTLAP and they are having to put up with the BS...talk about a dealer not wanting to offer future GBs.

From what FASTLAP told me they stuck to their guns which I asked them to do until they heard from me so the people who have waited 6 months had some time to place their orders.

I know the world isn't a perfect place and to an extent this doesn't really surprise me, but it really pisses me off that we have people here that would screw over other members who have been waiting 6 months to order.  Next one I do may be for established, reputable members only.

P.S.  I've asked them if anybody calls and does this again to get their name, screen name and phone number and provide it to me.

BTW: I appreciate the work you did on the previous Dragon Breeze buy as that gear has really held up well for me. I've been using it at the track temporarily (see photo) while I shop for a replacement one-piece.....which you were kind enough to follow up on as well. Unfortunately the availability/price on the Misano is not all that competitive. Still, your effort holds you in good stead with me bro.

And from what i understood was that we were supposed to call and put our order in and they would let us know if we would have to wait or not. my order went smooth and they didnt say anything but we are shipping it to you and then charged me. hope i didnt screw anyone that was waiting longer than me

+1

i checked the list to make sure that everyone that had orders placed in the size that i needed had already ordered.  i called fastlap and ordered on late thursday and they had no issues with fulfilling my order.  David asked me my screen name and then gladly went through with the process.  O_E i want to thank you for this group buy as i was in major need of some new pants.  jsut stinks that people would try to over step the boundaries in place.
 
I'm out of the loop on this GB, but remember that we have a ton of lurkers on the oRg too and it's possible some of them have been calling to see about getting the same kind of deal...just a thought...
 
Dude - sorry they're having a tough time. We should send EMAILs to them directly and tell them thanks for the GB. That should send a message that it was much appreciated. Just a suggestion though.

My wife is ticked... "It looks like you had another Christmas!!"

um... i did - kinda - but it was Keith's fault.

You lurkder dudes - that didn't want to buy at the time we did this - back off and grow some integrity. Otherwise, we're sending Revlis over to your house!

Don't sweat it, M-man...you're name is on the list. I only told them to hold off to late comers ~20+ if they had limited sizes in comparison to the provided sizes being ordered. Since it looks like that wasn't going to be a problem they likely went ahead an took your order.

You're good.

Not looking for thanks or praise, but your words are appreciated. Just looking to give a little back to the peeps here on the org. and make sure those have waited are rewarded for it.

Again, no complaints about anybody on the list, just those that do the drive-by on our Group Buy.

E-mails are not necessary...keep in mind that many of us we were given the carrot on a string treatment for almost 6 months for this GB, but in the end they came through and looks like everybody is happy. To get these pants at $98.00-$108.00 TYD is simply amazing.
 
Well i was way down on list, waited till thursday to order as asked, gave them my screen name, and got my stuff on monday...

Thanks for setting this up Keith.
