Another Update. I sent Pair of Skirts to Jay at 03 / 08 (March 8). Sent these with EMS (express mail shipping 3-5 days) But still no sign of the skirts!!! Last week i put official request about them cuz Tracking number shows nothing... So im still on the wait to get info where the hell are the skirts! I wanted Jay to inspect the skirts LIVE and tell if there are some things what needs to be changed or other issues...

All your pairs are ready to be packed and shipped anydays - the only problem whats stops me - is Jay's pair missing... I hope you understand this delay guys, cuz i really need to figure out IS everything ok with the shipping and all the other issues, cuz the box is HUGE for the skirts...

Once i get the info about Jays pair of skirts - im shipping all other skirts in 2 days so everyone will get update.

After inspecting all the White pairs i found out what they are no good to use at all... Sorry frown.gifI aint really wanted to risk, and send you white ones, cuz of the gelcoat and resin used in them.. They are too flexy.

Wow. If I were you Romas, I'd be looking for a partial refund on shipping. 14+ days is unacceptable when it's advertised as 3-5 and I know it wasn't cheap considering it was international.

Already did this - filled official claim for the late delivery (EMS central worker (lady) advised me to do this biggrin.gif)

But still the most what i will get from them will be 20$ and it will take 2-3 month to get this damn money from poor poor post office frown.gif

Look what the mailman brought today.

I only unwrapped the right side as I won't have time to test fit these until later. I can tell you that the build quality is first class and the fit "appears" to be as good as the pictures that Romas posted earlier.

Thank you Romas.

bump for more participants. This will likely be a one-time group buy so get em now. You will have at least 60 days to save for them.


When is the money due? If not soon then i might be in on the GB but it depends on when the money is due.

Who can guess what the hell is in these boxes? biggrin.gif

Just spent whole day packing them up... Dustin & Jeff - your pairs will be shipped later then all the others - guess you know why biggrin.gif

All other guys - expect to have your pairs next week (if god damn customs (dunno witch ones - either US or either Lith) wount stop them again - like it was with Jay skirts...)

Isnt that because you were having them customized?
mad.gif well, my life gets better and better every single day starting from last month frown.gif

Guess from where i got a call today? Post office....

IPB Image

Sent all the boxes by EMS on friday, and 2 last ones on Monday - and had to go today to post office and pick them all up!!!!! USA EMS CANT ACCEPT boxes!!! The biggest US EMS can carrie is 1.05 meter the longest messurment and 2 meters round perimeter!! And even i DID asked the Local EMS 5 times even before the GB where starting about the sizes - they said no problems!!! This explains why Jays pair of skirts took so long to deliver - cuz instead of EMS they sent it with AIRMAIL as Oversized item... But the best part - out of 6 boxes - 3 are damaged (f*ck'd up totaly)... it seems they where standing in some sort of water or wtf! Cuz the end of the boxes where all wet... 1 pair of skirts is damaged... And this is not the end...

I spend 2 hours shouting and trying to solve all this with the boss of Local EMS - but he was so damn ignorant that he aint wanted to listen to anything - and im totaly pissed - either im gonna sue them for all the damage, or im gonna take some legal actions against them.....

Dustin's and Jeff's pairs where sent on Monday - i got them back today safe... Resent them today mid day with AIRMAIL oversized - paid 50% more then i had to with EMS cuz there is aditional cost of the oversized / fragile items... Atleast women who accepted these boxes was so damn kind - and told me what she will do best to get these asap to us...

Im gonna be repacking all damaged boxes, gonna replace one of the damaged skirts, and send these out till friday / saturday morning...

Another 3 boxes (WannabeGT4, D-Rock,Coomer) i will be sending tomorow...

And the last Extremly happy thing is what With AIRMAIL oversized - i cant value items more then 40$... If im insuring them more then 40$ (the limit is 80$) - i have to pay 18% off the total value of the shipping, price.. If i want to insure them more then 80$ - i have to pay 25% and so on!!!! So im risking my own ass right now if they get damaged - i will have to refund from my own damn pocket....

Please accept my apologies for all this damn mess - but this is where i live, and i surely GOD DAMN love this cursed country where no one cares about nothing else exept him self...

You don't have anything to appologize for. None of this was your fault.

Nothing yet. Probably stuck in customs again. It took two weeks for Jay to get his so I think I'll give them another week before I start to worry.
