Dr-Manta Order - Page 5

Bump...
Dieter, any further progress?

heimue · 10-31-2008

I was PM'ing Opeletti75 yesterday, he is the last one unpaid. Dr. Manta wasn't in this week, so no time lost anyway.

Dieter

neuropel · 11-04-2008

Just to stay on top of things, I'll keep bumping this back to the top every 4-5 days until we get everyone onboard. Dieter, if you still have not received payment from Opeletti75, please let us know. Stephen had previously (graciously) offered to put up the money for that portion of the order, and I can do the same if needed or if Stephen doesn't want to be bothered - just let me know via PM. I'm hopeful that we can get the ball rolling here soon as I really need to get these parts in. I'm hoping to get one of my cars into the paint shop before I get further into the throes of the coming PA winter.

Thanks again everyone!
Todd K.

The money has been paid to Dr. Manta. Attached is the invoice, for everybody to download. Two or three items differed slightly in price, but the total is off less than a Euro, so don't worry about it. Opeletti75 is still short with his payment, but I didn't want to delay. Dr. Manta wasn't "in" last week (making house calls...???), but now we are waiting for him to confirm shipment to Gene.

Dieter

neuropel · 11-04-2008

Awesome! Thanks for the update Dieter. I'll PM you shortly regarding further payment information.

Looks like we're on our way!

So, which dealer is next in the line of group buys from Germany? Splendid Parts, Lenk, the one in the Netherlands (can't think of the name right now...)?
I'm open for everything...

The one that I've heard was difficult to deal with/ took FOREVER to get anything from. Splendid was awesome to deal with though.

Dr. Manta informed me that he will split everything up in 3 different boxes, and send it out in 1-week intervals, "because it makes it easier with the German export formalities". I can not follow his logic, but I'm too tired to fight about it. The first box is on its way, and can be tracked here.

Thanks for the info Dieter, I'll inform the guys on the dock. I'll hold on till all the boxes are in.

heimue · 11-18-2008

The second box is on its way, and can be tracked here.

Dieter

Gary · 11-18-2008

Let's hope they make it here before DHL closes shop.

BQS4 · 12-01-2008

OK, the first two boxes arrived from Germany today, they're windshield (f&r) and the chrome locking strip. I'll start sorting them out, boxing them up and PM'ing the various people with the UPS shipping costs. Sorry for the size of the pics, as I only had my phone camera with me.

heimue · 12-01-2008

The third box was shipped on Nov. 24th, and can be tracked here.

Dieter

BQS4 · 12-02-2008

After rechecking this morning, the third box is going to contain mostly the small items on most everybody's orders. I will check to see what orders can be filled with what I have, and ship them out, to help from further delay. I will also need to split up the chrome locking strip as it was sent as one 50 meter roll.

BQS4 · 12-04-2008

OK, just an update, DHL "tried" to deliver the 3rd box yesterday, and I use the term "tried" loosely as all they had to do was lift up the dock door. Any, I went and gapped all the dock doors, so they should get the hint

But, I sent a few PM's out yesterday for shipping from here, and two have paid, and those two are out the door today with tracking numbers.

Rionart · 12-04-2008

You are "THE MAN" Gene!!

BQS4 · 12-04-2008

Well, we're in business, the 3rd box arrived today (finally) and everything seems intact. The order was packed well and each item was carefully wrapped. Tomorrow I will begin to sort out each person's order and boxing it up. Then I will get the shipping price and PM each person. Bear with me...

BQS4 · 12-08-2008

OK, update, I got everything sorted out as to who gets what. I need to divy out the chrome locking strip, and I have started boxing and weighing stuff, so start checking you PM boxes later on this week for shipping totals....

Gene,

I just wanted to check with you about the status of the packaging of my order of a Manta windshield gasket. When you get a chance, please send me a PM with the shipping cost to my home in Brookston, IN. Thanks for all your work in preparing the shipments to everyone. Happy Holidays!

BQS4 · 12-31-2008

OK, final post on this. As of today the last of the Dr Manta Orders are shipped and on their way to the buyers. Just to let everyone know.....

ephillippe · 12-31-2008
