Those of you who have been on the forums for a while now know full well that these more popular Group Buys can really be a total goat-rope, especially when members behave like sharks during a feeding frenzy. First they demand instantaneous information, and then many of these same folks complained loudly when they perceive that they were not being serviced fast enough, as if they are the sole customer... anyone remember that?
Recall the brutal condemnation of Wilbers when they got hit with almost 200 orders during their first GB a couple years ago? When the factory in Germany wasn't prepared to handle it at a pace everyone demanded? Do y'all have any idea how much hate-mail I got from
that gig? :angry:
And recall the lashing that Spiegler received when they got hit with a $300K order of SS lines, ABM rotors and Carbone Lorraine brake pads in 2005?
So... would you all MIND if I try to put together a framework where we can mitigate that same thing from happening again? :blink:
I have been holding numerous discussions with GP Suspension the last several days, as they have grown a little concerned about the potential volume of players interested in this GB. They should be, because I know what some of you folks behave like when you have difficulty calling in your order, or waiting for product, etc, etc.
As it turns out, I am going to go ahead and create a (relatively small) web form that you all
must fill out
first, before being eligible for this Group Buy. This way, no matter how much difficulty you have contacting them throughout the two week Group Buy period, as long as your name is on the legit Group Buy listing, you'll be able to negotiate your suspension needs at the GB pricing, even if you have to wait beyond the end of the Group Buy period to actually place and pay for your order.
Y'all diggin' me here, my brothers?
