end MT-82 miss shifts

[Steve@CJPonyParts]

I can see the frustration but in Steve's defense he has to ship them himself to each and everyone of you. He didn't ship us yours he shipped us our order which were allocated after he put aside the preorders. Putting the 80 we got in a box and shipping it to one address is going to be quicker then it's going to be for him to ship out however many he sold to different addresses.

Then we got ours and we filled all off our because we have a 50+ warehouse employees with multiple pick ups from our shipping companies plus Mon-Fri we are open 24 hour a day. Had he had our warehouse power you'd of all had your before or the same day we got our stocking order.

Not sure if it was publicly stated prior to when I placed my order or not (6 AUG) but Steve mentioned no where, that CJ was going to be a major supplier of his brackets.

That being said. I can only call it as I see it but from a consumers stand point, it looked to me like CJ came in to the picture about a 1 1/2-2 weeks ago(At least that's when the video was posted). When I saw that CJ was going to be a major supplier of Steve's brackets, I really didn't think much of it. Figured CJ would start selling them after the initial pre-order thing was all said and done.

Now that I see people getting tracking numbers from CJ, I can see how it would be perceived that CJ purchased a pretty big chunk of those and Steve shipped to CJ before the original pre-purchase peeps.

* I by no means want this to turn in to a complaint thread. When I spoke to Steve today on the phone I did "NOT" chew him out. I was polite and kept my opinions to myself. Simply because, like I said before, I consider myself to be a little more impatient than the norm and waiting an extra day won't kill me.

Hey Travelers...


Just received my shipping info...

 

[ford20]

Ordered and paid for mine on the 11th...............notta!!!!!

Simmer in the swamp my man. I ordered a day before you and no tracking number and that is cool with me. Steve is only one guy and IIRC he has a job in conjunction with his blowfish racing company.

As Steve pointed out CJ has a much larger warehouse staff where all they do is pick and ship orders. I am sure they have UPS and FedEx trucks and whoever they use for their freight options rolling in every couple of hours or so to pick up orders. When you are by yourself and you can't dedicate an entire 8 hour work day (more like maybe 5 hours of good solid work a day) to packing and shipping everything things are going to move a lot slower. I'm cool with that, I know what it's like to be in Steve's position and have been there several times before.

Not only does he have his bracket but he also has a whole lot of other custom pieces that he sells and probably has to ship out. I wouldn't be surprised if he even ships out multiple items in the same boxes so it doesn't surprise me that he ran out of boxes. The good news is that you can order new ones and have them the next day so patience kemosabe.

Also Steve just posted this

If you ordered from me and have not received a tracking number, its coming soon, i promise. all but 34 orders have been fulfilled as of right now. the last 34 are waiting until tomorrow, as i am expecting some reject parts to come back tomorrow all fixed up to complete the last kits needed for my orders. i am expecting another 100 units to be ready next Friday, so its starting to roll out! thank you all for your patience.

He needs to make sure the transmission fluid stays perfectly level while sitting in the garage. The brace helps reinforce it.

Hey Travelers...

Thank you my good man.

I was surprised to get mine that fast as much as you guys. When I placed the order it said 5-7 day shipping.

I don't give a damn about CJ's warehouse staff or the 119199191 people working for them. Perception is a motherfucker and the fact that Us early adopters (and paid in full by the way) folks are getting bumped by the CJ deal. I will adjust any future blowfish racing purchase appropriately.

I really hope he just used the wrong verbiage there by mistake. I would REALLY hate to think that the bracket I've been waiting over a month for, will be a refurbished kit.............

got my # earlier today also

This is absolutely horseshit. CJ should have got NOTHING until the pre-orders and Beta testers out the door!

The icing on the cake is that I just noticed that he either lied to me or just made up an excuse. He told me on the phone the reason mine didn't ship out today was because he ran out of boxes.

Rejected parts waiting to be returned or you didn't have boxes. Which is it?

Well I asked a question in that thread, so we will see wont we.

Here's what doesn't add up to me:

He saying 34 out of 300 people have to wait over the weekend to get their bracket.

- 300 units total
- 80 to CJ which am assuming, came to the table a little later than the betas and early pre-orders(I could be wrong, not 100% sure

Lets just say hypothetically Steve sent the first 80 brackets to CJ. That leaves 220 individual pre-order buyers from the combined forums and his site.

If he told me that I am #58 on the list from the pre-order. Shouldn't the last 34 people that are still waiting for their bracket to ship be #'s 186-220 or somewhere in that range? Not over a 100 people before that??????

Shit just doesn't add up to me.
