Sargent seat group buy

[jasonsmith]

Okay so first things first Borg should be back today so I'm relinquishing command to him.

Secondly I called Street Bikers Den and talked with Sarah regarding our seats. They have received the orders and the seats are enroute from Sargent to their Oregon address. Their expecting them to arrive late next week and they will be shipped direct via USPS to the address's after that. They said if anyone needs any further info to give them a call. They are very eager to make this group buy go successfully and are doing their best to make it happen quickly. Their also looking forward to any business relationships that are created from this group buy.

Oh and email confirmations and tracking numbers will be sent as soon as the seats are shipped from their Oregon store.

[pserve]

Thanks for the update Jason.

OK, I'm back from camping.

Wow what a list!

From talking to the dealer, we have 12 people that have paid up. The seats have been ordered and will ship late next week.

I'm still trying to get an extension for the others that were not able to join the group buy this time out. I will post the result here if there is an extension.

Regarding the group buy, it ends today at 5PM pacific time, so get you orders in if you can.

This deal came about faster that I anticipated, it was not going to be finalized until today after my camping trip, but the dealer got a hold of me prior to leaving for my trip and I thought it would be best to get the group buy going asap. But now I feel like I did not provide enough information or details, for that I apologize.

I would like to thank jasonsmith for keeping this whole thing under control, good work js. Also thank you to the other members who sent PM's of the group buy details to the other members, well done everyone!

All we have to do now is sit and wait for the seats to arrive.

Unless things have changed the 6th gen seat is one piece. Borg if you get the chance maybe have them tweak the wording on their website for the 6th gen seats as they've used the 5th gen wording.

Thanks borg for organizing and especially JS for taking over - man you were busy!

If I understand this correctly. Payment must be received by 5pm pacific time today Fri Jul 3.

Just buy saying "I'd like one" or "I'm interested", doesn't really cut it.

It's not my call, but what would the harm be in posting the prices and the seller's paypal address. So the organizers don't have to send PMs.

I dunno...


(edit) oh ya, now I recall something about not posting "sale" prices. Always after I hit SEND! dooh

Sent them a note and the owner will get his web guy to correct the description. I also let them in on the chit chat we had, all is good.

Thanks,

You're bang on Kingsley. Payment must be received by 5 PM pacific time today to be eligible for the group buy.

And sorry that I am not able to post the the actual price of the group buy as it will be a breach of the agreement between dealer and supplier.

I have purchased items from them for a couple of years and I'm extremely happy with their service and their competitive pricing. I've had no issues at all with any of the items I've ordered.

I just wish they were dealers for Dyno jet, Ohlins, Galfer and Yoshimura. But for now, I'm just glad they got to be a Sargent dealer.

Greetings ambit,

Thank you for your purchase from The Bikers' Den. I sincerely
apologize, however, we were mislead by the manufacturer and will not be
able to fill any orders for these seats for approximately 5 weeks. We
were under the impression that our order would ship immediately however,
due to stock issues the VFR series has to be made. We are looking at 4
weeks for production and another week for shipping. Please let us know
if you would like to stay on order and we will have your order shipped
as soon as possible. I look forward to your reply.

:(
I'll hold out. 5 weeks isn't that long.

[Moochie]

Stinky. I never received any such notice though ??

In any event, I'll hold out too. I've waited 3 years already.

[ken98043]

That's not good. I did not receive a notice from them about any delays. If I do I will leave it on order. I have waited this long I can wait a little longer.

[ambit]

Was sent to me @ 2:38PM today from Jason @ Bikers Den
Must just be my silver welt holding up the order, lol

[borg]

OH SHITE!

I was hoping my seat would be in by the weekend for a planned ride to Tofino.....DAMN!

I didn't get an email regarding the delay but my guess is the whole order will be processed the same time. Oh well, I've waited 3 yrs already as well so another 5 weeks will be tolerable.

I'll see if I can get a hold of the owner to see what's up.

[Meatloaf]

I didn't get anything either, nor did I get confirmation when I sent the payment. I might have to give them a call tomorrow myself. I'm more than happy to wait, just over a month isn't too long I guess.

[ken98043]

I didn't receive a confirmation email either. I did check my Paypal account and they did get my payment.

[ken98043]

I just received the email that ambit received about the seats taking four weeks. I am leaving mine on order. I can wait four weeks.

[Meatloaf]

I got my email as well and plan on waiting.

[goinphaster]

I want to cry. I tried to pay only to find my card was cancelled due to a security breach:(
to far away to do anything about it I ould only watch as the time limit came and went. that was a really good price too.....

[Y2Kviffer]

This came together too fast for me to participate.

Just an FYI ..... Sandhills Powersports is damn close in price.

[Banderso]
