Well currently we have no receipt of them being posted, no consignment number so i highly doubt they are even in the post. But what he posted below says differently.

sent away an email yesterday or the day before and this what came back.

All i get is this, which is all i have gotten for quite a while, i don't know how you got in contact with him from his website as it is all but deserted and not inspiring much faith in me. Hope he hasn't left the country



Have also sent countless emails and made countless phone calls and sms's with no reply

Entity type: Family Partnership

Try it yourself... go here: ABNLookup - Welcome to ABN Lookup
And enter ABN to search: 46923409697

Did a White Pages Search of CARDILINI in NT and it returned:
Cardilini E S
(08) 8987 1434

Arnt you also waiting for either a shifter or a refund? You sound so calm about it like $355 or $455 is nothing to worry about? So currently it is Ross D, Steve D, Jokerflingo, Cander24, Brad609 as well as Immortality waiting for their shifters? So only Danja and Ray-915 have received theirs? Have i got that right? So over half of the group buy hasn't received their shifters? Thats only between $1500-$2000 dollars

You suggesting ringing the above numbers tomorrow? How did you even get enough details to find the amount of information you did?

Yep i'm waiting on a refund. If i'm calm it's because no amount of stressing is going to change anything, plus you just never know... something may have happened... steve may not be avoiding us deliberately... if i recall, those that spoke to him thought he was a top bloke. I'm happy to ring tomorrow, but just thought i'd mention it

As for getting his details, it wasn't very hard... the internet is your friend

If you could try and ring tomorrow it would be much appreciated as i currently have sent countless emails, phone calls, sms's and will also try those numbers tomorrow if i get the chance. The thing that annoys me is getting no update or reply.

[Brad609]

Yeh im still waiting on my shifter too
and yeh my patience is starting to run out aswell

[Ross D.]

yeah someone give him a ring ill try tomorrow if someone trys today

[adamc11]

Tried calling and rang out, must be at work. I'll call again later. I suggest just one of us calls so we don't hassle the sh*t outta him, so just leave it to me, i'll take care of it

[doms3]

I just had a brief look on the Australian Air Express Website and the longest delivery option i believe is Off-Peak which can take up to 72 hours. So technically if the parcel was sent on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Then 72 hours is Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which should mean it would be delivered Monday at the latest due to the fact it has had a full 3 days or 72 hours plus how ever long it had when it was posted on the Monday or Tuesday.

Has something happened again or is it just taking extraordinarily long because i definitely would of thought if it wasn't delivered last Friday it would of definitely been delivered at the start of the next week being Monday?

Matt.

Yep 3 days is the longest we take

[jokerflingo]

Considering that there are 5 or 6 people who have paid for a product and have not yet received it after being told that they had been sent out over 2 weeks ago i think we have a very good right to hassle him When i signed up for the group buy i wasn't expecting to wait countless months

Yep 3 days is the longest we take

Thanks for the confirmation but it doesn't really boost my confidence Do you work for AAE and if so can you look up to see if there are parcels waiting for any of us?

Thanks
Matt.

[adamc11]

Ok i rang Steve and spoke to him. He said he sent them out late last week. He said he has consignment numbers and will post them on the forum later tonight. I'm not sure who he sent them with.

[Steve D.]

hmm ok. Looking forward to getting the consignment number

[jokerflingo]

hmm ok. Looking forward to getting the consignment number

Same here, he said he sent them with AAE(Australian Air Express) so a receipt and consignment number would be handy. But that then makes me think how does AAE misplace 6 Billet Shifters being shipped all around Australia?

[danja]

There are possibly 6 AAE employees shifting their nuts off right now

Maybe he didn't ship them with AAE. Maybe just regular Australia Post? Lets just wait for the consignment numbers...

[jokerflingo]

Maybe he didn't ship them with AAE. Maybe just regular Australia Post? Lets just wait for the consignment numbers...

Still wouldn't take over 2 weeks, but i hope we get the consignment numbers tonight.

[adamc11]

He said he posted it the end of last week... which would make it 1 week.

[jokerflingo]

Oh did he? I was just going by this which was almost 3 weeks ago,

All shifters will be sent out on monday and tuesday through aae.

S&e will be closing its doors and will no longer be in business.
Trying to work full time and run a business is not possible and one or the other ends up suffering. Its time to go back to normal and enjoy my young family , friends and my other hobbies. I have had many up's and downs but at the end of the day i have lernt a few lessons and meet some good people.
For the people that i have f%^ked around im sorry , the last 4 months has been hard.....and i have been ripped hard but i will get over it. Im going to walk away from cars for a while and maybe look at a project in a few years if i can hang out..lol . I am off loading my current toys...1 has been sold already .

Thankyou for the support over the short time .

Cheers
steve

Also did he mention what time he would get round to posting them? As theres not much of tonight left

[adamc11]

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and wait till Monday. If no word by then, i'll call him again.

[jokerflingo]

Well that doesn't surprise me, but why should we have to wait even longer though? He said that he would post them on the forum later tonight, i mean its not hard to spend 5 minutes on JC Forums and type us the consignment numbers so we can find out what has happened to our shifters. They better be here bloody soon cause im off to NZ and if it rocks up whilst im in NZ god knows what the post authorities will do with it.

Ok i rang Steve and spoke to him. He said he sent them out late last week. He said he has consignment numbers and will post them on the forum later tonight. I'm not sure who he sent them with.

If you say your going to do something usually you to do it, like a handshake.

[jokerflingo]

So how come Steve(Seperf) assured you Adam(Adamc11) that he was going to post the consignment numbers the other night and then he doesnt even make an attempt to post them as can be seen here Seperf - Last Activity: 18-06-2009 05:35 AM

What is he trying to hide and why is every answer we try to get from him made so difficult and drawn out? I wanted my consignment number the other night so that i could of looked online on the AAE website and found out where my shifter was and what happened to it so i could sleep properly and have some reassurance of when i may have my hands on "MY" shifter.

Hopefully before i go to NZ.
Matt.
