nole_trainer

redbullet

You mean like the one's on ebay?

Notice that they are coming out of canada..... I'm smellin' a double cross

nole_trainer

Now that's a bugger???????? $26???? and we're paying $65

nole_trainer

They look like just the lenses?? I've got a question into the seller - who is Montebello, CA buy the way. Still could be a cross country double cross

redbullet

It could just be a coincidence, but.......

HiRoller

My wife just had a baby, so I've been pretty busy. I'll look into it.

nole_trainer

Got this back just now, a pretty fair statement. I'll still honor my commitment!

I hadnt seen those, they arent ours. Im not sure if im more mad at the
fact
that we spent all this time and money making the molds with no way of
getting our money back, of the fact that they are priced so low it
makes our
company look like we are way over charging.

I would just like to point out that this guys lenses are injection
molded,
meaning once you have the tooling done they cost pennies each to
produce.
Our product are all hand made and take alot of time and material to
produce
them.

Unfortunatly im going to have to request the 5 ppl who gave a down
payment
to still buy the lenses from us, otherwise we will loose alot of money
on
this deal.

We learned a valuable leason on this project, no more product for
new/popular cars.

Cross my fingers that maybe this guy's lenses dont fit well, ive seen i
before.

Here's the email from today (this was in response to me asking if they were ready) What's everyone else gonna do??

yes we have 2-3 sets sitting home ready to go, but ran out of clear
opoxy, checked 5 stores around our place and the 2 places who usually carry it dont have it anymore, and the others only have this yellow opoxy.

we will go check out a few other stores across the river and hope to
find some there. we are doing a post office run tonight, i supose if you are in a big hurry to get them we could ship them unassembled then.

ill be sending the invoices for the rest of the payments today.

$14 shipping for 2 little pieces of plastic that could be put in a padded envelope? For $14 it better show up within 2hrs of me hitting that final click on PayPal

redbullet

pretty much a smart a$$ answer. I'll bet they won't be so lippy if everyone told them to pack sand.

nole_trainer

I really didn't take it that way, in my original email I probably sounded in a hurry.

I guess the ones on ebay have turned into $45 w/shipping.....

nole_trainer

I'll be interested to see if it's just the lense or the entire housing and lense...

redbullet

Says " Does not come with bulbs or wire harness, this is a direct OEM replacement Sidemarker. "

Which tells me it is a whole sidemarker and not just a lense. I also see that the item ships from the US now.

nole_trainer

I think your right. I guess that's what I/we get for not waiting, but who knew

HiRoller

oh well....sorry guys....I was just trying to help Mine should be here in a week or so.....

nole_trainer

did you stick with Tina at Klearz?

HiRoller

Yeah...I have too much invested in this to back out now. I had to buy 2 sets of stock lenses and ship them to her to make the mold......she shipped mine out already and should be here in a week or so. Live and learn I guess...... if you wait long enough....someone will make it.

redbullet

Does this mean that she won't make the thrid brake light lense ?

nole_trainer

Lee, I told her I would honor my commitment as well. I bet ours will be much better in quality.

Red - I bet not considering this experience. I did email the ebay guy, buy to response as of yet...
