I know where ur coming from but it's out of my control, I am just the middleman remember I'm trying to do everybody a favour by saving some pennies.

I will update further in a weeks time.

When someone actually receives some wipers can they post up please not your fault Bloomdj but they don't seem to be very quick off the mark, well after they got the cash anyway

Ok... Paid for these nearly 5 weeks ago.

If they are not here by the end of this week I would like a full refund please.

I can get the done locally a lot cheaper than £100 I have shelled out and be back to me in less than 5 days.

I have been patient until now, however this is getting ridiculous just to dip a couple of Wiper arms.

I will request a refund through Paypal on Monday

Totally agree with you mate, the amount of time is a joke, was expecting to start seeing people getting them this week.

I have to say I'm with you guys on this, absolutely no response from hydrotek, if they have problems someone should tell us exactly why.

I thought last week, it was taking a while.

right guys the response from hydrotek...

the wipers will be completed this week and shipped out then and early next week.

when the GB was started it was explained that the time scale would be from when everyone has payed the outstanding balance, the timescale being 3-4 weeks, I then updated that the guy at hydrotek had a family issue where his very young lad had been poorly and had to be in hospital and would delay the wipers by a week, which then adds up to the wipers being sorted this week.

as for the comment of simply just dipping some wipers.. this is why there was a lead time of 3-4 weeks due to other orders placed before ours.

I can understand that people have paid good money and are keen to get the goods that they have paid for but I would of expected a little more support.. at the end of the day I have taken the time and effort to try and do everyone a favour and save them some pennies... but that's just my opinion

anyway if anybody has any further problems please contact hydrotek direct from their website

many thanks

Its nothing against you mate, we understand that you have arranged this group buy to save us some cash, we appreciate that so dont take it personally, its just been frustrating waiting for weeks on end with nothing much being said from Hydrotek thats all.

Thanks for getting a response from them mate and letting us know whats happening.

Worth waiting guys

I've had a lot done by locky on the Greenwagon Over the last couple of years

and it's amazing quality
I've spoke to lee myself a couole of days as I've ordered an alternator in candy gold and as above they have had a couple of delays but are working through the production as quick as they can

Remember they are just a small one /two man band and this is a massive and valued order for them and these things take time

I'm not bothered if its a bit longer as when you get them you will see its been worth the wait and once you get one bit of locky you will like them that much you will end up getting loads more
