Darrell O'Neill Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 nope.... bu@@er all. Left a message for him to get back to me and sent a email on friday, but nothing as yet... Must admit, Im getting pi$$ed off with this now too, seeing I had other options from other companies aswell... Thought GRP would be a safe bet as they're a larger company.. Suggestions on what to do next anyone? ashley@gprdirect.com perhaps we could all email him (if he gets a load of mail from us it might push him on for a response) Quote
flat_four Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'm abut 30 mins away from the GPR shop at Silverstone - worth a visit? Quote
Carl Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Darrell, Why don't you give him an ultimatum / be honest. Unless you get an answer and decent timetable for the product you'll take your business elsewhere! I'm only 20 mins away from them so could visit next week. PM me if you want some help Quote
BuGsBuNnY Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Guys, if you have no joy, I have a contact at Sabelt who always does me good deals. Quote
Morbius Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 If they are a larger company and not really set up for dealing withthe general public, the grief of dealing with loads of individuals with separate requirements might not be worth the revenue. Ashley is probably trying to fit us all in around his other workload, which is why none of the other people there will deal with us. Also, the other suppliers might have made promises to get your business and then ended up just as slow. Doesn't make it right, just trying to understand the difficulties. It might be that Schroth are having production difficulties or have been caught out by the demand at the beginning of the season. Quote
The Great Fandango Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Morbius has a very good point. When I did the bulk-buy for RaceTech's quick release boss I had to make it worth the company's while by doing a lot of the work myself. For that reason I handled all payments in one go and sorted out address labels etc. for them. Could be that they're bogged down. I'll just sit tight and see what happens. Quote
Darrell O'Neill Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks for the support guys... Im usually the last one to loose patience, and to be honest, Im not in that big a rush to get the harnesses myself, BUT Im worried a few of you may have been..... Anyways, got this email from Ashley today... QUOTE Hi Darrell Order is in with Schroth, I have nearly everyone’s c/card address, although a few were confused when I asked for it?! I will defiantly get a full update mail out to everyone before tomorrow. Kind regards Ashley We'll see what happens next. FWIW it was Ashley that suggested he delt with everyone direct, other companies said they would deal with me as a Individual only, meaning I would have had to collect monies, place order, take delivery and then forward on each item, Thats why I went with GPR, hopefully wont be long now... Apologies to anyone this is a pain too.... Darrell Quote
pete g Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 well done mate,we all know its not your problem. its just nice to know whats happening.even if its a delay. Quote
Crash test dummy Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Well not surprisingly I didn't get my update e-mail, did anyone else? Makes you wonder if the "defiantly" was a typo or not!!!!!!! Crash. Quote
DavidR Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 My email to Ashley on 25th Feb was acknowledged today and request from him for confirmation of address received / replied to. Small steps . . . . .. David Quote
Darrell O'Neill Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 Had this along with my written quotation today... Looks like we're getting there.. QUOTE Hi Darrell Sorry for the delay and the stick you’re getting, the forum seems very lively! Everyone has had a response today so that should stop now. Your conformation is attached, I expect delivery late next week. Is there a round coming up soon out of interest? Many thanks Kind regards Ashley Quote
