Its the third time i miss the batch.. This time i was waiting on a message, i was thinking i followed the method that was planned.
Also didnt get the notification from the forum when the forum got hot again even tho i'm registered to it.
First come first served sometimes neglets the ones that have waited very long.
Any chance on finding a new method? This is getting really frustrating.
I'm still positive but man, ..
I’m sorry you missed out. I can’t control what the forum does in regards to sending out notifications or not, but recommending people subscribe and opt for email updates has been the best method I’ve found to help people on mud. I can’t remember how long it’s been since I sent out messages, but it was before I tried tagging everyone in a post and that failed. I’ve tried sending out PMs individually, and in groups, only to have mud end up blocking most of them as spam. Of course there’s an issue with the time difference between messages sent so whomever is sent a pm earlier gets an earlier heads up.
I see your point about neglecting people who have waited long periods of time, but I feel like there have been plenty of ways to stay informed.
In addition to posting here several times, I also bumped the thread in the 80 series tech section. I also posted on Instagram and Facebook when the kits were started with an eta on when I would open for orders and again when I was ready to take orders.
To me this is the most fair method for everyone. If I didn’t sell them first come first served, I honestly believe the wait time would be longer than you have waited. I can’t commit/nor do I want to commit to holding onto deposits for that period of time as this is just something I do when I’m not in class or traveling/working on my own projects and my schedule is ultimately determined by graduating.
If I had any actual overhead and charged for labor, these kits would not be something I would be doing, but for now I enjoy helping out people who want the parts to install a swing out that has more of an oem look while still being extremely stout. Not to mention working in my Dad’s shop for a month straight beats sitting at some desk working a university job etc.
I really do see your frustration, and I’m sorry it just hasn't worked out yet. I’ve been trying to snag a wagongear tailgate storage lid for years now and the closest I’ve gotten to one was seeing “1 in stock” and by the time I finished entering my CC information it was gone. However, those are gone in minutes and this batch was around for a couple days.
I hope this helps clear up why I do things this way, and hopefully this provides an explanation to others who have also expressed similar frustrations.
